Other blurb

Standard info

• Everyone who comes should follow the code of conduct, which we will enforce. Be nice to each other and make a space we can all visit.
• We'll try to make every meeting a hybrid one, so people can can join remotely. We do understand that not everyone is comfortable turning up to a room full of people.
• If there is a room limit, we'll come up with a system to figure that out.
• Recording the meeting isn't something we plan on doing just yet.
• We encourage speakers to share their slides and demos later on if possible, but its up to the speakers.

That's it, we hope you can join us and come hang out with fellow Python people.

Hi @andymckay, I'd like to propose a talk titled "How to use Rust with Python" for this date.

A caveat is, I'm flying back and scheduled to land in the city a couple of hours prior. If I'm delayed in any way, I won't be able to make it in person and so will have to push it off to the next one.

I've tried to reach out on LinkedIn as well.

[andymckay]

Hey @nth10sd 👋🏾 awesome thanks for the suggestion. That's totally fine, if you aren't able to make it, we'll push it back to the next one. How long do you think your talk would be?

[nth10sd]

Probably around 45 minutes! Thanks for connecting on LI as well.

[andymckay]

Fantastic. I think we should do that talk in November - we don't have a speaker yet so it would good to have one lined up in advance.

I've also generally strived not to make the talks to long and together we'd be well over an hour or more. Add in socializing and a round table etc and it gets to be a long event.

Would a November talk time work for you?

[nth10sd]

Sure, I won't rush over for the October one then if it's not necessary.

If it's the November one, I'm not in town from Nov 20th onwards. What date is that exactly?

[andymckay]

Let's do it before Nov 20th 😀 haven't decided a date yet. Would you mind creating an issue for your talk?

[nth10sd]

Done, #13 !

I'm actually remote. I'm based in Dallas and was hoping you would have virtual meetings.

I'd also like to find someone who would be willing to consult and mentor on inline forms and Crispy. We have a few years of class-based forms but this is new to us.

An update that @Mariatta will be coming and speaking as well about PyCon US 🥳 you are all coming right?

[nth10sd]

I popped by at around 7pm having rushed over as soon as I could, to try to join in near the end, but I couldn't find a way up from the lobby, I'm sorry.

[andymckay]

Oh no! I'm sending someone down.

[Mariatta]

Thanks so much for organizing the meetup!

Can I post that photo on social media?

[andymckay]

Well I didn't explicitly say we'd put it there, I think I said just GitHub. But it's public here anyways...
