Monday, November 17
Monday at 6:30 at Capital One Cafe (Hyde Park Village, Tampa): Tampa Bay Python presents a social networking event over coffee! Whether you’re new to Python or already an advanced Pythonista, come meet others that are interested in the same things as you!
They’ll be hanging out inside, and chatting about:
- Libraries they’ve heard about or want to try out
- Recent side projects they’ve been working on (or ideas for side projects)
- Upcoming conferences on their radar
- Python origin stories (how’d you got started?)
- Or just talk about some experiences with Python!
Feel free to show up even if you are waitlisted — we’re trying to keep it small because the venue is quite small, but there are always no-shows at free events.

About this list
How do I put this list together?
It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrapes Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgment calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.
In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.
What goes into this list?
I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:
-
- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
- Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
- Anything I deem geeky
