[SGVLUG] Reminder: SGVLUG Meeting: Python 101 3/11

[Lan Dang]

 Hi Rich,
This group is primarily organized on Meetup these days.  

We meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7pm.  For what it's worth, you can always put that on your calendar with a reminder to ask where the meeting is the day before.
I am never sure who receives my emails and do think it sometimes goes into the dead letter box, because I send out so many announcements.

I generally post the info  on the #sgvlug channel on Slack, but I rarely use the @ mention that would trigger notifications to online -or- offline folks.  

(Those of you who are unaware of our Slack space can join it here: http://bit.ly/sgvtech_slack)

The website is the least reliable source of timely information. I periodically update it so I can have a history of our previous meetings.

Many of these things are solvable and could be automatable, and I have some ideas, but I do not have the bandwidth to pursue it.

  Bummed I missed ... I"m a VERY old 'regular' member of the group  (back in the pcc days), gone for years, and somehow got a ping (maybe thru slack ?) on this topic and meeting.
 There was no calender link (time, zoom) in the slack, so I was figuring I'd get an email (like this one) to the list.
 Then getting this last night from you Lan... i realized I blew it !  missed this interesting topic discussion.....
 
 But I did not see an email with the event ANNOUNCEMENT ??   I checked spam and trash and at least i dont THINK I got the event email !  (but I see below you did send one to the entire list ?)
 
 I dont do facebook.  Dont do instagram.  dont do meetup.  DO slack (poorly), and email of course.  I know the website is not updated (and understand...major pain) 
 
 Anyway.. thanks so much for organizing this group - I miss scale - and I hope to join on future meetings.
 
 (any chance Andrews part of the presentation was recorded ??)
 
 thx

  That was a very successful workshop and our speaker was able to pull off a live demo using Colab Notebook.   We had about 29 people at one point and a lot of activity in the chat. It was good to see the familiar faces as well as our new regulars. 
  
  Afterwards, we bounced around to various topics from Repair Cafe Pasadena's next virtual skill sharing event to blowing up electrolytic capacitors to rockets to drones to ham radio to 3D printing.    Shockingly, I have some volunteers for short talks for April for mini-talks.  Topics to be announced.

         Hi all, 
   This month, we have a guest speaker from CodeDay to reprise his beginner-friendly Python 101 workshop. I really liked his presentation and his material.  He does a good job of introducing the basics, and then he provides a bunch of resources on where to go from there.
