We will meet every two Wednesday at 5 pm in the Seminar room. The moderators will be Josh Tan, Roberto Muñoz and Marcelo Mora. The Python Club will mostly consits of hands-on tutorials and everyone can volunteer to give one.
The idea is inviting beginners and advanced Python users to the meeting, so we can interact each other, teach and learn.
You are welcome to bring your laptop to follow the tutorials. All the talks, tutorials and code will be uploaded to the Github repository.
First, coming to the meetings every two weeks. Then, sharing information in the google group. And for sure, forking the Github repository and doing pull-requests oftenly.
