<div dir="ltr">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!<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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?</div><div><br></div><div>- j</div><div><a href="mailto:john@johntellsall.com" target="_blank">john@johntellsall.com</a></div>
