We are organizing a Code Sprint [1] for ChiPy by ChiPy ChipyChipySprint.

The idea is we want to make a site like MeetUp open source this and use this for our Chicago Python user group. Here my original note to the ChiPy list:

I propose our next Sprint Saturday March 18th. The Sprint will be in response
to Alanta's User Group site where we will make our own with Django. At the same
time we will invite those who wish to learn Python to come and get hands on
experience. I suggest we hold this all day (pending availability) at the
Lincoln Park Chicago Public Library. They have a nice big room they have let us
use in the past.

At the same time we are also organizing a free class for those who wish to learn Python. We are still working out the details but it sounds like all you will need to do is to:

1. Sign up at ChipyChipySprint
2. Load Python on a laptop and bring with you
3. The hands-on class will be lead by Michael Tobis [2]

So, if your a Python Expert, come code with us. If not, become an expert.

I am suggesting we use Django instead of TurboGears. We will see if other ChiPy people go for this idea or not. Either way, I am happy to continue hosting the server. The reason I like Django is because it's agile in getting up and running. If you were at our last ChiPy Sprint you would already know getting up and running was one of our hangups. Likewise, I plan on having everyone get things set up before meeting up at the Sprint.
