Hello,

After successful completion of December Python Pune meetup, I allowed
myself to go ahead to host another python meetup in January a.k.a
January Python Pune Meetup in the new year 2015 and finally it
happened on 31st Jan, 2015 at Red Hat, Pune(India) .

Here is the event report of the January Python Pune meetup. The event
started a bit late by 10:15 with formal agenda of the meetup. 75
people attended this meetup (which has increased from the last
meetup). About 50 % of the attendees turned up from the last meetup
and they are basically final year college students and professionals.
Then by 10:20 A:M, i started with a quick of recap from Python 101
workshop where i spoke about use case of Functions, Models, File
handling, Exceptions and Class through hands-on. There was a lot of
discussion on why we use __init__() with in a class with respect to
other language.

After a short break, by 11:00 A:M Django workshop was started by Tejas
Sathe. It started with the introduction of web development, how Django
is writing web application using Django-admin. He created a simple web
application which takes user information using Forms, stores the
information in the sqlite3 database using Django Models and showed the
same stored information in the other page by explaining how responses
and URL mapping is done in Django.

By 01:15 P:M, with a short break, we have our two talk sessions.
Jaidev spoke about Categorical Data Analysis in Python . He explained
what is Categorical Data by taking a problem statement related to
meetup data, its features, how to measure it, and analyzing the result
out of measurement.

Finally by 01:35 P:M Rohan gave a brief introduction of oslo
libraries. It is a set of python libraries containing code shared by
OpenStack projects. Currently there are 27 libraries. We are planning
to demonstrate the usecases of each libraries in upcoming meeting.

The event ended on time and we had open the floor for discussion and
feedback and ditributed F21 workstation DVDS.
The meetup went well and feedback was good. People were complaining us
to move to a new place where more than 100 people can attend and learn
new stuffs. For that we are looking for sponsors who can provide the
venue.
There is a plan to introduce lightening talks where attendee may show
their cool python application s/he has developed or showing popular
libraries usecases.

Thanks to Red Hat, Pune (India) for the venue and arrangements,
volunteers, speakers and attendees for making the event successful.
