If you are giving a presentation, please plan on bringing your own laptop. I will have a Windows laptop available just in case.

Spread The Word. If you belong to the python user's group in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area or are a member of a Django, Drupal, Ruby or other web framework user's group, please help spread the word about this meetup. This posting will be the official organizing document for the meetup, so post your questions and comments here.

Thanks, and hope to meet a bunch of web2py'ers on December 5!

FYI, BART is also an option as the North Berkeley station is close by. I'm willing to ferry a few passengers between station and meeting room assuming the timing is right. Contact me directly if you need this option.

I'll be there. I have a projector but it is VGA only. It will run off my Chromebook, MacBook, or antique Linux laptop.

I'll be there with bells on.  I also offered to drive Massimo to the event as he usually camps out on the peninsula and doesn't rent a car.

P.S.  I don't have an official presentation but I can show a bit about the commercial web site I'm developing using web2py.

Yes, please record, the San Francisco Bay Area is kind of far away from Lisbon, Portugal.

Thanks, Richard! I have a backup camera just in case. I can also offer a tripod as well. Will you have a wireless microphone? Audio will be important.

I doubt I'll have the time to edit and post the video, so I really appreciate your volunteering to record the session.

It's 1.8 miles. ~25 minute walk. I am picking up a couple of attendees at North Berkeley Bart station at 5:45PM. It's about a 5 minute car ride to the meeting room, otherwise, a 25 minute brisk walk. Anybody else need a ride, please contact me privately. I will also ferry riders back to the station after the venue.

There will be wifi access through UC Berkeley conference services. I'm not familiar with it but I'm getting some instructions emailed to me. I'm told it will require you providing some personal info, like a conference would. That's as much as I can say until I get those instructions.

Thanks to all attendees. The evening was a big success and informative. Thank you Massimo and Dex for your excellent presentations and demos. Thank you Richard for recording video of the proceedings. There seemed like a unanimous consensus to continue this venue and, so it shall be done. Therefore, may we all meet again soon.
