Annual meeting

Date change: This month only, we are meeting on Monday instead of the usual Wednesday

This month, instead of having a technical talk, we’ll be meeting to make plans for the coming year. The PyYYC meetup has more than 900 virtual members, and has been providing a time and place for local python enthusiasts to get to know each other for more than 6 years.

The existing organizers are bowing out and we’re looking for new ones to fill their places. If you’re at interested in helping out the meetup in any way, please come and join the discussion about how to make the coming year a success.

Carson Zhang has volunteered to lead the group, and he’d like to have help in the following areas:

There are some responsibilities that the co-organizers need to take. They fall in to the following areas:

• Marketing: advertising our python meetup on twitter and linkedin.
• Industry Partner: looking for industry partners who are willing to sponsor the event, advertise jobs, and provide resources to help grow
• General helping: seeking and encouraging people to talk during the meetup, all experience levels are welcomed

Feel free to take any responsibilities or just lend a hand for setting up prior to the meetup and cleaning up after the meetup. Any help is appreciated.

Our goal: to grow our local community and make a bigger impact to the YYC tech world

We’re also starting to organize the meetup in the #python channel on the YYC Design slack. You can get an account here: https://communityinviter.com/apps/yycdesign/yyc-design-and-development

Thank you to Showpass for sponsoring pizza this month!

Doors will open shortly before 6. There will be mingling, and we’ll also give away a free PyCharm license courtesy of JetBrains. Then the main events should start around 6:30.

There is a City of Calgary parking lot just north of Assembly at 203 - 14 St NW. Parking is $2 if you arrive after 6:00 p.m.
