MeFi IRL

I'll be in Salt Lake City, Utah for PyCon US this month. I'll be available parts of Wednesday, April 19th-Monday, April 24th, and would enjoy meeting other MeFites who live in SLC or who are visiting for the convention! An outdoor beverage near the Salt Palace would be ideal. Tentative suggestion: 5pm Saturday, April 22nd. [more inside]

PyCon North America 2019 will be May 1-9 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Any other MeFites coming? Want to grab a beverage together somewhere in there? Note that the conference itself is close to selling out of registrations -- register soon if you want a ticket and you haven't got one yet! [more inside]

Would you like to learn Python in a non-alpha geek, friendly environment? Come out to the third PyStar MPLS to get started learning this amazingly intuitive programming language. These workshops are modeled after the RailsBridge "Ruby on Rails for Women" courses and are targeted at women who are new to programming, or new to Python. All skill levels & interests welcome. This course is aimed at female identified folks (self-identified, full-spectrum - cis, trans, and otherwise); if you do not identify as such you are welcome to come if you are the guest of a female identified person. Please feel free to get in touch if you have questions. Register here (for free!): http://pystar-mpls-3.eventbrite.com/ [more inside]

Come and join us on Saturday, 3/26/2011 from 9-4 for the the first Minneapolis PyStar workshop. PyStar is a 'best-practices' Python programming workshop. All women (self-identified, full-spectrum - cis, trans, and otherwise) are invited to join us. Folks who identify as non-female are welcome so long as they are a guest of a female-identified person. Non-programmers (yet!) who are interested are especially welcome to attend! THIS MEANS YOU. cf: http://pystar-mpls-1.eventbrite.com/ cf: http://pystar.org [more inside]
