I just found out that OCLUG is having a presentation on Python this Saturday.
The Orange County Linux Users Group is a great place to interact with users of Linux and other Free/Open-Source Software. Meetings are held one Saturday per month from 10:00am to 2:00pm at Cal State Fullerton (McCarthy Hall Room 606), just off the 57 freeway at Nutwood.
(Parking and attendance are free!)
