Welcome, MontrealPython.org! (2)
Before the Karabunga team started montrealonrails.com, ruby on rails programmers were unheard of in Montréal, with startups like standoutjobs having a hard time to find “ruby gurus”. However, 35 people showed up for the first meetup, some experienced, some just curious about what’s up with all the excitement around the framework.
Currently, Python development is, I believe, at the same phase as Ruby on Rails 6 months ago. This is where Montreal Python comes, a new initiative by Arach Tchoupani. Its objective is to:
- raise awareness about Montreal’s python development community
- provide a place for local conversations about python software development
- organize meetups or talks in Montreal area to share knowledge and experience
This is very good for local developers. As far as I know, Akoha is using python for their platform, and so is embeddedcookbook, a web2.0 directory of electronic parts made by 2 montréalers. I messaged Mélissa and Alexandre, who are behind the website, and even though they wanted to see what’s up with other Montreal django developers, they couldn’t find anything serious. I hope then that MontrealPython becomes a central place for everything python in Montréal and look forward for their first meetup.
While I don’t know about Python, Google uses it a lot so it’s a good sign!
yeah this is very good news, denis. it reminds me of a weekend in february where we would need python hackers…. :-)
