Tonight was supposed be the ALT.NET Glasgow Python Code Kata, unfortunately this had to be postponed because of problems with the venue. Instead, we're meeting for drinks at Wax O'Conner's. I was discussing this with someone who suggested the still having the gathering was a waste of time as we will not be covering any code.

Be it blogging, podcasts, tweets or an argument over a pint, as long as we talking then we're doing out part.

- Venue

- ALT.NET Scotland Gathering
