[ddj] self-education python study group anyone?

Thu Sep 22 14:37:42 UTC 2011

Same here: Linda, Cosmin and me worked on a number of easy tutorials to get
data into story (Needlebase, Refine, Google Fusion, Elastic Lists), but are
novices with Python.
So, count me in (I will tell my colleagues that there will be no free
evenings from November to December in a minute...)

Cheers,
Mirko
