CTPUG Meeting - 18th Feb?

[Neil Muller]

I'd really like to get CTPUG meetings going again this year, so I'm
proposing we have an in person meeting on the 18th of Feb.

I'm willing to rehash my PyConZA talk to get things going, but if
someone else wants to offer something instead, that would be great.

Which leaves the issue of a suitable venue. Any offers?

I've got a gmail account. Why haven't I become cool?

[Tobias Brandt]

That would be great! I can't commit that I'll be able to make the date but it would be great to get CTPUG going again.

For those of us that weren't able to attend PyConZA last year, what was your talk about? (Or link to the talk abstract/video?)

As I did mention before I will happily offer The Wild Fig upstairs room as a venue - can take  30 people or so , has a projector and screen sound if needed and fairly decent wifi if needed

Full restaurant and bar facilities will be available

I checked my booking list and Saturday 18 feb is available - since its a saturday are you thinking a day time meet up or evening time?

What would the expected numbers be - I am guessing less than 30 which will be fine then - could get more in if the tables are removed and the room is set up cinema style

As I mentioned when I asked about CTPUG a few months ago - I am learning pythn and putting it to work to automate certain tasks I do at the restaurant so I am keen to gain more knowledge and give some back to the python community.

Afternoon - ideally starting at about 14:00.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for your generous offer. That would be great (I think)!

@Neil Muller I take it this is your talk? 

Why you should be excited about PyGame 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynu6eebdSfk

I could possibly talk about [pyprql](https://github.com/prql/PyPrql) and [PRQL](prql-lang.org) more generally.

Cheers

Tobias

P.S. @Trevor Hughes You may be interested in this talk. IIRC it was voted the favourite talk at the first ever PyconZA. It seems Python is very popular for running bars and restaurants ;-)

I have filled in provisionally for the upstairs room for the day and the night.

I guessed before I followed the link it would be Edward and The Alexander Bart and I was right! Thanks for the link - I will check it out

That's the talk - I'm happy to have someone else speak on the 18th and
keep the pygame talk as a reverse for when we don't have offers.

Thank you very much - I'll aim to make an "official" announcement at
the start of next week.

[Tobias Brandt]

Hi Neil,

I've checked my diary and I'm keen to give a talk about pyPRQL on the 18th and depending on how much I can get done before then I can also talk about what else is happening in the Python data space, such as DuckDB, Polars and dbt.

If people are keen on that I'd really appreciate the opportunity.

Regards,

Tobias

Sounds interesting, so you're down as the speaker.

[Trevor Hughes]

I was just going through my bookings coming u and say the provisional I made for Saturday 18 Feb for a possible CTPUG meeting - but I am assuming this has not come to fruition this week - I will keep my offer of a venue , depending on availability , open for when the first meeting of 2023 does happen

Thanks

Trev

Hi, Trevor

There was a message on the list this morning confirming the meeting on
the 18th -- not sure if your spam filter ate it. You can view it on
the web here: https://groups.google.com/g/ctpug/c/M6pT8DUmOuc/m/qivI84ZOBQAJ

Cheers,
Adrianna

Hi Trevor,

Yes, I'm expecting to speak this Saturday about PRQL and pyprql and I thought there were messages to confirm this. Apologies if those missed you. I can't quite recall where they were.

There was a bit of confusion, but I've had confirmation from Trevor
off-list that the venue is booked for Saturday and everything is still
good.

[Trevor Hughes]

Apologies for the confusion,  I have just found the announcements in my spam folder. 

Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday at The Wild Fig

Trev
