Hi Ed
I am a new user of Python and would love to attend for the first time. What day/ date is the meeting below occurring? Is there any fee? Is there anything that I should bring (notebook computer?). Thanks Peter Dwyer Ph: 0432-699-779 From: melbourne-pug <[email protected]> on behalf of Ed Schofield <[email protected]> Reply-To: Melbourne Python Users Group <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 6 November 2017 at 10:30 am To: Melbourne Python Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: [melbourne-pug] Next Melbourne Python meeting - tonight: Monday 6 November Hi everyone! We are looking forward to the November meeting of the Melbourne Python users group tonight, Monday 6 November (special horse-race edition!) We have over 100 people registered as coming on Meetup. (If you can no longer make it, please RSVP no so someone else can have your spot!) We have two main talks planned: 1. Fred Rotbart: highlights from PyCon Israel 2017 (15-20 minutes) Python wasn't particularly popular in Israel until recently but has exploded in popularity in the last 1-2 years. Fred attended PyCon Israel this year and was surprised at how large the community there is now. He will talk about the event, Python uptake in general, and give highlights from the event. 2. Ed Schofield: publishing with Python (40 minutes) Python has long had Sphinx for generating high-quality technical documentation from reStructuredText (ReST). Many projects have more recently adopted one of many flavours of Markdown as a simple, flexible format, while Jupyter notebooks have taken the Python world by storm. This talk will give an overview of the impressive set of tools in R for publishing (knitr, Rmarkdown) and compare what the Python ecosystem has to offer. 3. Lightning talks & announcements When: 5.45pm for mingling; talks starting at 6pm Where: Outcome-Hub Co-Working Space Suite 1, 121 Cardigan Street, Carlton How to get there: Walk 12 minutes north from Melbourne Central station. Afterwards: general announcements and pizza. Then maybe drinks on Lygon Street. Sponsorship: many thanks to Outcome Hub for providing the venue and Python Charmers for ongoing Meetup sponsorship. We hope to see you there! :-D Best wishes, Ed -- Dr. Edward Schofield Python Charmers http://pythoncharmers.com _______________________________________________ melbourne-pug mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug
