Python Project Night

print("Hi folks! Happy Chinese New Year and Reading Week!")

Going forward I am aiming for a monthly Meetup consisting of an educational talk and a project demo followed by a project night.

Please have a look at the Trello board (https://trello.com/pyyyc)and vote for the topic or projects you would like to see most and I will attempt to organise the talks by interest/popularity. Create an account and I can add you to the Trello board if you message/email me directly. If you would like to deliver a presentation please assign yourself to the card and specify how much time you'll roughly need.

Finally we're always looking to improve so feel free to message me with comments, ideas and feedback. Happy hacking!

====================================

Doors are open from 6-7:30pm. If you arrive late and it's locked you can try messaging me via Meetup, calling reception, or texting the number at the front entrance.

Come work on Python projects, get programming help, help others, and hang out.

Python project nights are unstructured chances for Python developers to work together, mentor each other, connect socially, teach, learn, or do whatever else it is Python developers want to do together.

Our project nights are great ways to build the Python community, by allowing them to meet and interact in whatever way they find most beneficial.

Things to bring: a wireless-enabled laptop and power cord.
