I'm the moderator for winnipeg at python.org.  We have about 80 subscribers.

The Winnipeg Python Users Group was pretty active for a while, from about
2005 to 2010.

There's also https://www.meetup.com/python-winnipeg with 215 members and we
ran about 5 events in 2018-19.

There is a domain "winnipug.ca" that I'm about to let go (2 days from
now).  If anyone wants it let me know.

If you're in Winnipeg and still interested in Python, and you want to
organize some meetings, I'm happy to help, including doing presentations,
tutorials, etc.

Stuart Williams.

Thanks Stuart,

I'll take this opportunity to let folks know that we're always open to
scheduling presentations at local hackerspace Skullspace
(https://skullspace.ca) if folks want to do something spontaneous
instead of regular. Tuesday nights at 6pm are our open house nights
where we always have a crowd already present.

We've also got a tradition going now of an annual, weekend hackerspace
festival (Hax) which features a morning and afternoon of presentations
on the Saturday part of the festival. This year that will be Saturday
May 18th, 2024.

I'm still looking for more speakers on any topic that's of interest to
a broad hackerspace community.
https://groups.google.com/a/skullspace.ca/g/announce/c/Xfa-as2lM7E

Anython Python related stuff from folks would match what we're looking for.

One nice thing about presenting at Hax is that there is a network
effect of having different speakers on totally subjects on the same
day. This creates some cross cultural pollination both between
speakers and audience. (e.g. folks come out for one thing but
experience another thing)
