Organizers should setup tables by categories (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced) and put some flags on each. I am a novice and was sitted with the only available space where everyone was too advanced for me

  I agree with Feyzi. It was also my first python project night and I felt that knowing where to sit ahead of time would have helped speed things especially for newbies.

  I will politely disagree. This is a self-organizing meeting, with the drive for what to work on coming from the people in the meeting, not the organizers. It was my first meeting too. We could have used more guidance ("Ignore the first place you sat down at random!", "Moving is a good thing, not an insult"). Next time I will bring specific python modules to work on with specific goals ("lets pass this test here").

In addition to working on my own projects (and helping out others) I'll also be selling 30+ Raspberry Pi computers for $40 each.

  Anyone buying a Rasp Pi - if you bring an FTDI cable in addition to 2GB+ SD card, you can get your Pi up and running without needing a display & keyboard. https://www.sparkfun.c...? I'll have an extra one on hand.

  Welcome! If anyone else is interested in buying a Pi, email me directly: [masked]. I'll also try to have some with me at the next Meetup event I go to, but I can't promise!

  Can Python be used for app development?

  Possibly but I would not recommend writing Android apps in Python. But the SL4A project can run python scripts. http://code.google.co...

Hi Jason,
I hope you are well. For those who are intending to attend this event for the first time, could you please tell about the layout of the Project night? Any pointers would be really appreciated. If the event spreads across more than a single day, are there places to stay/crash for people coming from other parts of Massachusetts. I am coming from Amherst.

Thanks
Tariq
