The meetup was hosted at JoziHub on 28 June 2014, 09:00. There was a total of 7 attendees, of which 3 were newcomers.
Discussions
We started off with informal introductions and a discussion on the purpose of GPUG. This discussion was continued on our forums. During the rest of these discussions, it came to light that all of our newcomers learned of the meetup via our Meetup.com page and were unaware of this site and our Google Group. It is clear that we need to increase the visibility of these other resources.
Frank was scheduled to present a talk on his accounting software, but a power
outage prevented him from doing so. In stead, he shared his experience with
Python 3.4's asyncio module and subsequently did a
writeup on the topic.
Walter presented an introduction to MongoDB, pymongo and MongoEngine. The
IPython notebook and slides were committed to our
talks repository.
Conclusion
Based on the pursuant discussions, Corrie's experience with PL/Python in PostgreSQL and Iwan's testing experience was identified as valuable topics for future talks.
The meetup adjourned at about 12:30. Thanks to all attendees, and to JoziHub for providing the venue.
