What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in the Python programming language. Join us to learn, share and network!
We hold regular online and hybrid meetings in New Zealand.
You are welcome to join from anywhere in the world - please note our time zone here is NZST/NZDT which is UTC+12/UTC+13. Meetings in this group are via browser-based web conferencing.
Some local in-person events around New Zealand support online participation and will also be listed in this group:
Python New Zealand's Code of Conduct applies to all Python New Zealand events and participants agree to abide by it.
The online meetings in this group use a BigBlueButton instance provided by the New Zealand Open Source Society using infrastructure donated by Catalyst Cloud. Thank you for your support!
Job Ads in Comments
The Python New Zealand committee generally welcomes the posting of Python-related job opportunities in the comments on meetup.com, provided they meet the following guidelines:
- The job is Python-related.
- The job is suitable for someone based in New Zealand, i.e., it is either located in NZ or open to remote work from NZ.
- This must be clearly stated in the post.
- All available job details should be included directly in the comment, rather than linking to an external site (especially not to a list of jobs).
The committee reserves the right to remove any comments — and/or ban accounts — that violate these guidelines, at its sole discretion.
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Python Practitioners SIGLink visible for attendees
A gathering of active practitioners (professional and amateur) to talk shop. These meetings offer the opportunity to meet with like-minded others, eg suiting folk working from home, and those working in an organisation where you might be 'the only one'.
It is a café-style virtual meeting (if you haven't previously, please review this explanatory document discussing participation and expectations).
We gain insight from others, and develop professional relationships. Discussion will generally be focused on Python-related topics but will not exclude matters related to the wider professional environment, eg the New Zealand industry, situation, and environment, aspects of Python projects planned, under-development, and operational, etc.
All participants are expected to contribute to the discussion and to attend regularly. So, you will need a head-set! Starting promptly, we will go around the room asking three questions:
1. What did you achieve since our last meeting? (Or introduce yourself)
2. What do you plan to do before our next meeting?
3. What is a question or challenge you face, or discussion-topic would you like to discuss?
We'll record the latter topics and decide as a group which are of
widest interest, and therefore should be tackled earlier.
Remember, the café style isn't just about the meeting format; it's about creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable expressing themselves
Meeting participants are expected to comply with the Python New Zealand Code of Conduct.
As there are necessarily a limited number of participants please do not RSVP unless you really plan to attend. Also please have the courtesy to un-RSVP if you know will not be attending.
