Quite possible. I do go to these

Nobody has volunteered off-line. I reckon you volunteered! Thanks. I'm
going to try to persuade Andy Robinson to do 10 minutes if I can, but
he's on holiday this week.
The proposal I'm making is so basic (in Python terms) that if the worst
came to the worst I could do it myself, despite

Allow me a trip into fantasy land. I'd like to play with an idea for a
lecture of broad appeal suitable for the 11th, where we addresses a
wider audience of non-Python users. What do you think?
Ten lines of code - Python's power
Lecture by ???, Michael Grazebrook, and ???
Date & Time: 11th Apr
Hello UKPU,
I've been reading this list for ages but rarely (never?) post anything. I'm a
music postgraduate student at the UEA in Norwich and use Python not only for
my research (which is in computer models of music representation) but I've
also done odd web/database jobs for the university us
Talks, tutorials, discussions and sprints all sound like interesting
activities. Once a month sounds fine.
How firm do proposals need to be ?
When do 'we' propose starting (first event) ?
How far in advance do we need to produce a definite schedule for ?
How many people do we need on any 'offici

I'm an IET member and attend their lectures occasionally. It's part of
the the Institute of Engineering Technology's mission to put on the
sort of presentations and lectures we'd like. So we're helping with
their mission. If you don't know it, the IET is the engineer's
equivalent of the institu

Thanks, I'm glad you think so!
But as has been said elsewhere, there's a desire for something a bit
more formal, a bit more demo-friendly

Hi, Andy.
I've been using Python off and on for about 18 months or so.
I'd be very interested in attending. I don't (unfortunately)
have any cutting edge applications to talk about yet, but I'm
always interested in learning what other people are doing.
My particular interests would be GUI framewor

I'm tied up for a few months, but after that will be much freer to take

Hi all,
Yet another London-centric suggestion. Apologies to the rest of the
country.
I've been talking to a friend who is discovering the joys of Python, and
is a committee member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology
