A few people will have already noticed some small comments about this, but we're plotting to restart python northwest. Specifically, we're restarting this month. Details:
* Who: Who can come? If you're reading this YOU can :-) More specifically anyone from beginners, the inexperienced through deeply experienced and all the way back to the plain py-curious.
* What: Suggestion is to start off with a social meet, and chat about stuff we've found interesting/useful/fun with python recently. Topics likely to include robots and audio generation, the recent unconference, and europython.
How did this happen? I tweeted the idea, a couple of others seconded it, the David Jones pointed out "it easier to arrange for a specific 2 people to meet than it was to e-mail a vague cloud of people and get _any_ 2 to meet anywhere.", so that's where we'll be.
If twitter feedback is anything go by, we're hardly going to be alone, so please come along - the more the merrier :-) Better yet, please reply to this mail saying you're coming along!
More generally, assuming this continues, pynw will probably be every third thursday in the month, maybe alternating between technical meets and social ones. (topic for discussion perhaps?)
Please forward this to anyone you think may be interested!

I'm in. Will bring my copies of Tarek Ziade's "Expert Python Programming" and Mark Summerfield's book on PyQt, if anyone wants to have a look.

Cool. I'll bring spares of my europython tutorial notes for the curious as well.
Places I've announced this: * Here, man-lug, linux-users, pyco...@python.org, python...@python.org, europyt...@python.org, geekup@googlegroups.com * I've blogged the announcement as well, so it should reach planet.python.org.
Suggestions of other locations gratefully received :-)
I won't be able to make it this month, but I'm interested in coming
along to future gatherings. I'm a Python / Zope / Plone developer
living in Manchester and working for Jarn.
