And then there is the critical support team of volunteers who coordinate everything? The meetings I attended before the hiatus were interesting and well attended.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Erik, First off, pre-welcome to the metro area. There is a python users group. It started in 2000/2001. It is currently in a dormant state but if you would like to take the lead, we have resources in place. When Steve and I had to stand back about 6 years ago, it went quiet for a bit, there were a couple people who wanted to take the lead and Steve and I did our best to support them but it never really took off. I'm not sure if they had a meeting or not. We've got a website and mailing list in place but we are looking for leadership. If you are motivated, I am sure that you can bring it back to life. I and I assume Steve will give you as much support and assistance as possible. If you have meetings, regularly, people will start to show up and contribute.

Naomi - If you are going to restart, perhaps also posting to the mailing list would add to attendance?
