Hi All I am managing Bangpypers meetup for more than a year with other volunteers help. When we restarted monthly meetup our aim is to have meetup every month under any cost. We are able to do that successfully with average turnout from 10 to 80 people every month.
Last month we started workshops as part of meetup. There is good traction for the workshop. This month meetup which is on tomorrow (18-01-2014 http://www.meetup.com/BangPypers/events/125797552/). We are having Introduction to django. There is a need to beginner, advanced level content in meetup. I am looking forward to improve bangpypers meetup content quality. I mean good speakers and interested topic to discuss. One of my favourite meetup is HackandTell (http://www.meetup.com/hack-and-tell/). 90 - 100 turn out ( https://twitter.com/j2labs/statuses/424167741839638528) for every meetup and show what you have done in hardware, software etc ... No how/why to use library X. I am opening this thread to basically discuss how to improve the quality of talks. I seriously believe lot of people who use python for variety of task, also bring out experienced people to speak at meetup. Few people suggested following ideas. 1. Invite only speakers for meetup and flash talks by community. Have 2 good talk per meetup. 2. Meetup should have theme like Web, Deployment. Please feel free to add suggestions. -- *Thanks & Regardskracekumar"Talk is cheap, show me the code" -- Linus Torvaldshttp://kracekumar.com <http://kracekumar.com>* _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
