The wiki went the way of the dodo when python.org's wiki was hacked.
Nowadays meetup.com is the place to tell you're coming.
For the next Utrecht meeting:
http://www.meetup.com/dutch-django-assocation/events/179100132/

The name of that meetup is that of the Django branch, but that's mostly 
because the python wiki got hacked and we needed something QUICK.

And, as usual, registering isn't necessary. You can just show up. 
Registering is mostly for the organizer to know how much cola, orange 
juice, beer and chips to arrange.

Sounds like a nice technical internal talk, I'd be interested!
It is a just a month or so after the pygrunn conference, so perhaps it'd 
be better to give your talk at a later PUN meeting? I don't know about 
the overlap with pygrunn (regarding subject and regarding 
people-attending-both-PUN-and-pygrunn).


We've got some fancy projects ourselves that we'd like to show. I'm 
thinking about splitting one of the two 30 minute sessions in 2x15 
minutes. One for fancy GDAL geographical layer manipulations. One of my 
colleagues does absolute magic with a Flask web service based on that 
new 50x50cm "AHN2" Dutch height data grid. He claims he's "only using 
GDAL", so that sounds like a nice talk.
The other is a wonderful 3D flood simulation tool. The actual 
calculation is in Fortran and all the rest is in Python, including a web 
interface where you can do live flood simulations.
