The Winnipeg Python Users Group has been around since 2005. The mailing
list has 70 members and very little traffic. Last year I attended several
Python Toronto Meetup meetings, and hosted one, and that has inspired me to
want to rejuvenate this group. I think the local tech community has also
changed a lot since six years ago when we stopped meeting regularly. There
are several new companies using a lot of Python. Here's one example:

One possibility for meetings is to have local companies host meetings,
provide some refreshments, introduce their company (which helps them get
the word out if they're hiring), and give a talk about what they're doing
with Python, followed by other Python-related talks.

I've created http://www.meetup.com/Winnipeg-Python-Meetup/ and plan to
organize meetings via that tool. Please join!  I don't plan to delete this
mailing list anytime soon.

If you're interested in helping organize the meetup let me know. I don't
think it would be helpful for me to be the only organizer.

Stuart.
