SyPy Oct 1st: "Lightning Talks and Q&A"

Due to circumstances outside their control, the scheduled speakers are not resident in Sydney this Thursday. Rather than cancel this meetup, let's take this as an opportunity to explore other ways to utilise the venue. So for this meetup let's have some lightning talks and a Q&A session.

Lightning Talks

Lightning talks are brief (5 minutes) talks that focus on a single example, idea, project or technique. Lightning talks are not expected to cover all aspects of the subject. They are an excellent forum for first-time speakers.Please register your intent to talk at:

Q&A

Have a problem that you want to solve in Python, unhappy with a Python solution, why not use the SyPy collective to help you. Either bring your question on the night or register it to get people thinking about it.

*RSVP: Please RSVP on Anyvite to get your name on the door*

Time: 6:30PM (for a 6:45pm start) - 8:00PM (then pub after)

Getting There: It's a 10min walk from Town Hall station over the pyrmont bridge (directions http://tinyurl.com/nedz98)  or catch the light rail to the casino station.

Go to level 5 or if the doors are locked wait outside and look for smiley happy google people to let you in. If that doesn't work call Mark Rees on 0412688620

NB. Snacks are provided by google and we also go to a pub afterwards that has dinner available.
