SoCal Piggies - Python Interest Group

Meet other local Southern Californians who love to program in Python! The main site is at http://socal-piggies.org/scp

Also feel free to join the active email list group(http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/socal-piggies). Our last meeting this month (September 2008) was at Disney Animation Studios. We're actively looking for more attendees and contributors. Los Angeles is huge! We want you to attend our meetings. Come participate in the python revolution in person. Feel free to post to the email group and say hi and describe what you're currently doing with python.

All ages welcome. Socal Python enthusiasts range from UCLA/USC students to programming veterans. We all share two things in common, L.A. and Python. A mix of hip style and straightforward programming know-how.

If you're on LinkedIn, feel free to request to have yourself added into the group there so you can help promote the SIG! (http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/940967)
