I am organizing 3 python events in Chicago: 2 free, one cheap. 1st is really just an extended VFP users group meeting featuring Ed Leafe, one of the Dabo developers. I am getting a larger room to accommodate the python group too. The meeting is Nov 14 5:30pm in the loop: (not sure yet where, watch this page http://chipy.org/EdOnDabo )
There is some interest in an afternoon talk at 1:00 to 4:30. If I can get 5 or so people to commit to showing up, then Ed will talk then too. Probably worth staying for the evening presentation too - the Q/A will be worth as much as his presentation. I am hosting a 2 day mini event too: http://chipy.org/BootCampy - nothing like a fest. For this I am planing on spending a few $ on an instructor, which I have not found yet - I have some nibbles - but hoping to get a few more instead of just going with the first to respond. So if anyone is interested in either attending or instructing, please let me know. And of course, please forward this to any other list/group that may have some interest. If you are interested, or are near Chicago, please join the chipy list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/chicago very low post rate - about 5 per day, mostly about the monthly meetings.
