PyHUG September Seminar: BBS and Plone

You can reach us online at the python.tw mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pythontw , or Freenode/#python.tw IRC channel.

All attendees will share the siting rent expense. We will collect the money at the beginning of each quarter, i.e., January, April, July, and October. The regular rate is NTD 400 per person per quarter. Since a student circle is helping on the siting, the student rate (high schoolers and undergraduates, but graduate students do not apply) is free.
