Python Meeting Düsseldorf - 03.04.2012

Python Meeting Düsseldorf

The following text is in German, since we're announcing a regional user group meeting in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Ankündigung

Das nächste Python Meeting Düsseldorf findet an folgendem Termin statt:

Dienstag, den 03.04.2012, um 18:00 Uhr
im Raum "Clara Schumann"
der DJH Düsseldorf

Einleitung

Das Python Meeting Düsseldorf ist eine neue lokale Veranstaltung in Düsseldorf, die sich an Python Begeisterte in der Region wendet.
Wir starten bei den Treffen mit einer kurzen Einleitung und gehen dann zu einer Reihe Kurzvorträgen (Lightning Talks) über, bei denen die Anwesenden über neue Projekte, interessante Probleme und sonstige Aktivitäten rund um Python berichten können.
Anschließend geht es in eine Gaststätte, um die Gespräche zu vertiefen.

Veranstaltet wird das Meeting von der eGenix.com GmbH, Langenfeld, in Zusammenarbeit mit Clark Consulting & Research, Düsseldorf

Ort

Für das Python Meeting Düsseldorf haben wir den Clara Schumann Raum in der modernen Jugendherberge Düsseldorf angemietet:

Jugendherberge Düsseldorf
Düsseldorfer Str. 1

Die Jugendherberge verfügt über eine kostenpflichtige Tiefgarage (EUR 2,50 pro Stunde, maximal EUR 10,00). Es ist aber auch möglich per Bus und Bahn anzureisen. Der Raum befindet sich im 1.OG links.

Programm

Das Python Meeting Düsseldorf nutzt eine Mischung aus Open Space und Lightning Talks:
Die Treffen starten mit einer kurzen Einleitung. Danach geht es weiter mit einer Lightning Talk Session, in der die Anwesenden Kurzvorträge von fünf Minuten halten können.
Hieraus ergeben sich dann meisten viele Ansatzpunkte für Diskussionen, die dann den Rest der verfügbaren Zeit in Anspruch nehmen können.
Für 19:45 Uhr haben wir in einem nahegelegenen Restaurant Plätze reserviert, damit auch das leibliche Wohl nicht zu kurz kommt.
Lightning Talks können vorher angemeldet werden, oder auch spontan während des Treffens eingebracht werden. Ein Beamer mit XGA Auflösung steht zur Verfügung. Folien bitte als PDF auf USB
Stick mitbringen.
Lightning Talk Anmeldung bitte formlos per EMail an info@pyddf.de

Kostenbeteiligung

Das Python Meeting Düsseldorf wird von Python Nutzern für Python Nutzer veranstaltet.
Da Tagungsraum, Beamer, Internet und Getränke Kosten produzieren, bitten wir die Teilnehmer um einen Beitrag in Höhe von EUR 10,00 inkl. 19% Mwst.
Wir möchten alle Teilnehmer bitten, den Betrag in bar mitzubringen.

Anmeldung

Da wir nur für ca. 20 Personen Sitzplätze haben, möchten wir bitten, sich per EMail anzumelden. Damit wird keine Verpflichtung eingegangen. Es erleichtert uns allerdings die Planung.

Anniversary - Six Years Leipzg Python User Group

It started on Februar 14, 2006.  We had our first User Group meeting here in Leipzig. We have been meeting ever since, regularly once a month. We only replaced the meeting three times in 2006 and 2007 with our workshop, a 50-people conference-like event, and 2011 with the first PyCon DE that we organized.

We had numerous presentations at our meetings. There are all mentioned in the User Group archives.
Since 2008 we have been running a booth at Chemnitzer Linux Tage, a local Linux fest, and will be there the fifth time this year.

We developed a stable core of members and even made it through strenuous process of organizing the first PyCon DE 2011 and do it again this year for PyCon DE 2012. Not too bad for a local group of Pythonistas.

I think we also have impact on the German speaking Python community way outside our local reach. Only the fact that we meet regularly can inspire others elsewhere to do the same. After all, there are only a few German speaking user groups, so every single one counts even more.

Actually, it is not too difficult to get started. Choose a location and a regular date and announce the meeting. Just do it regularly even though there are only a couple of people at the meeting. There will be more after the first year of regular meetings.

We are planning new activities in the future and will put more time into them after PyCon DE 2012, which naturally absorbers lots of our community energy. You will hear more from us if you hang around in the Python community.
