Now with Dallas and Ft. Worth subchapters!

Hot Topics:

The Vision

To meet interesting people, to learn new things, to teach others
To run some classes, on tools, frameworks, and the language itself
To support both face-to-face meetups, and online projects and classes
To collaborate on fun projects, to run local coding "sprints"
Professional development and mutual support skills advancement
To eventually hold our own regional Python conference

Here is some historical discussion about the vision of the club VisionDiscussion

Regular Meetings

We are an active group that has been meeting regularly three times per month since mid 2005 in the North Dallas area. Some meetings in Fort Worth have started up in late 2006, but the Fort Worth organizer is moving to Austin. If you are interested in organizing Python meetings in Fort Worth, or anywhere else in the metroplex, please contact us on the club mailing list.

Join our mailing list here: dfwPython

We also frequently chat via Jabber Instant Messaging; if you need help on a Python-related issue please feel free to chat with us or join mailing lists. If you don't have a Jabber IM account, you have many choices for setting up free accounts, since it is an open source protocol used by many organizations. One of the most popular is Google's Gmail, which automatically includes Jabber access. For info about our group Jabber chatroom, and our individual Jabber accounts, inquire via the mailing list and one of us will send you our private list of IM accounts.

We use meetup.com as a secondary club site, mainly as an advertisement for new members and for its automatic email notifications of meeting events. The Meetup site discussions are not active, so please use the normal dfwPython mailing list for discussion.

Several of us are using Del.icio.us as a way or organizing, annotating, and sharing URL bookmarks. Please feel free to join us on del.icio.us and share bookmarks. Here are instructions and a list of del.icio.us accounts.

Why PmWiki?

You might notice this website is using a PHP-based wiki system called PmWiki, which might seem a strange choice for a Python user group. We chose PmWiki because it seemed much quicker to setup and more featureful than any of the Python-based wiki choices at the time.

Maybe later we can tackle setting up a Python-based wiki site. If you want to take on that task, feel free to bring it up on the mailing list.
