Hi, I'm not sure how many people on this list are Iowans, but I thought you guys (and girls) would like to know the following: The first meeting date for the Iowa Python Users Group has been decided. Here are the details: ------------------------------------------------------------ Time / Date: Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 7-9 p.m. Location: Marshall County Sheriff's Office, 3rd floor 2369 Jessup Ave Marshalltown, IA 50158 Unofficial website: http://www.ipug.pythonlibrary.org ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't know how to get there? Check out maps.yahoo.com or maps.google.com. The Sheriff's Office is not actually in Marshalltown. If you take Highway 30 East, towards Marshalltown you'll see it on your left. There's a large water tower there and the building is a rusty red color. There are some signs for a Tractor convention there as well. If you're coming from the other direction, then skip ALL the exits and keep driving until the lanes go from 4 lanes to 2. It should be the second right after that. I am still developing the agenda for our first meeting, but here are some of the things we're going to discuss: - What day really works best for meeting? (if you can't make the first one, you can email me your votes!) - Figure out what domain name our group should have - Decide on what Python web framework to use to create said site (which will be a group project) - Try to come up with what format we want our meetings to take. Plone and Zope users are welcome. In fact, anyone who is interested in Python (regardless of their experience with it) is welcome to come. Let your Iowan Python friends know. Questions or ideas? Send them to me. Thanks! Mike Driscoll Applications Specialist MCIS - Technology Center 1 E. Main St. Marshalltown, IA 50158 mdriscoll@co.marshall.ia.us 641-844-2802
