HEY PEOPLE
My name is Josh and I helped setup some of the first meeting of our
local Python group. It was awesome, but we never really got any
traction going.
Friend and wandered David Rogers has seen the Python light and is
interested in helping us get together a little more frequently. He'll
need some help and opinions from anyone still paying attention to this
list, but I can vouch for him. He's been doing good work with a few
other local groups and it's likely that most of you have already met
him at one point or another.

Just wanted to let everyone know that David Rogers has set up a meetup
group for the OPUG, here: http://www.meetup.com/OrlandoPy/
where it looks like he'll be setting up meetings :)

Well, first, I should join this group so that I'd actually get the
emails... Doh! :D
Second, I don't think there's anything wrong with just hanging out and
talking about Python... and drinking beer. Beer is good. That worked
for the PHP group for a long time, as long as we were regular and
intentional about it.
So, why don't we just start there? Let's pick a date and time to meet,
talk about what we want from the group and when we should meet next
(and regularly)? The biggest help to me in organizing the PHP group
was having something in place that regularly notified the members (and
me) about the next meeting, which was scheduled on the same day every
month. I used Meetup.com for that eventually, since a former PHP group
was already there and established (I took over for the previous
organizer, Sway).
After talking with Josh and Chad in person (Coworking Tuesdays plug),
I setup a group on Meetup.com for us. It wasn't any additional cost to
me, since I'm already paying for the PHP group. There's a mailing list
available there, too, but primarily we can setup a recurring event
that will remind everyone on the mailing list that there's another
meeting coming up. As long as we use the same time, day, and place,
it's fire-and-forget.
So let's talk about time, day, and place...! Who's got ideas for
meeting 0? Maybe we need to add "Incredible" somewhere in the title,
though, if we're going to reboot... Seems to work for Marvel. :D

Hi all!
I'm going to PyCon in March and I'll be in Orlando on March 21th. It would be really great to meet all the Pythonistas and have some drinks! ;-)
We could also do a Coding Dojo with the Orlando Dojo Group.
What do you think about that?

David,
I'll be arriving on sunday, Mar 20th. And my flight back to Brazil is on Mar 22th afternoon.
Caike Souza (from the Orlando Dojo) and I are planning to visit a park or something on sunday. I imagine that you guys probably went to those parks a lot, but if you think it's cool, it would be great to have you joining us.
Anyway, you should definitely go for a happy hour on Mar 21th.

Henrique,
Is that the only day you'll be in town? If so, we should definitely all get together for some happy hour action... just need a bar that's open on Monday... Any suggestions from the group?

I'll double check that, but I would guess bars in the Wall Street Plaza open on mondays.--
