[socal-piggies] Socal Piggies Hands Up

[John Mitchell]

I'm interested in meeting. I have two talks and a class in process, mostly
Python related.  Although I've used it nearly daily for 18 years, I'm still
learning!

I'm finalizing a talk on Automatic Parameter Optimization (sexy!), probably
to be given at the Professional Python group.  I'd be happy to give that
talk to this group, and/or talk about Functional Programming.

To revitalize this group we should have a regular meeting schedule and
possibly location.  If people are shy about presenting, we can adapt the
technique that Lars demonstrated in the DevOps meetup. That group
alternates talks with round-table discussions, which have proved quite
popular.  Another idea is to explicitly have each meeting be some amount,
say 45-60 mins of talks, then an hour of schmoozing.

At a talk the other day two Python newbies said they didn't know where to
go to get help learning Python. What do you all think?
