There is a `mailing list`_. Check out our current `members`_ list. Some of us like to hang out in the IRC `#chipy `_ channel on irc.freenode.net. Meetings ======== Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. The location varies from month to month, so check here, or on the mailing list, as each month's meeting approaches. `Past Meetings`_ have been held in a variety of locations in Chicago including the occasional one in the surrounding suburbs. Sign up with the chipy `mailing list`_ for up to date information about upcoming meetings; the listing below is not always updated much in advance! Also, for information about potential meeting venues in the future, please see `Potential Future Meeting Venues`_. Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues, elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!) Who --- ChiPy is `made up of people `_ of all levels of programming and Python knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers, people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting. .. _mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/chicago Book Reviews =================== ChiPy members have reviewed several books for O'Reilly and Apress. A collection of the reviews can be found on the `reviews`_ page. Publicity ========= `Resources for publicizing meetings `_
