Project name: Canberra Python User Group
Grant Type: Community Grant
Aim of the project: The Canberra Python User Group (CPUG) has been a leader in Canberra’s technology and innovation culture since 2011, in that time we’ve grown to over 1,000 members; representing one of largest technical communities of any kind in Oceania.
Our primary organising tool is MeetUp, where we manage our members' mailing list and organise events.
https://www.meetup.com/Canberra-Python-Meetup-Group/
There is a free and public event each month held at the Australian National University's Hannah Neumann mathematics building. Events attract hundreds of engineers, developers, data professionals and scientists every year in a developer-oriented and supportive environment.
The meeting each month includes a formal long-term presentation by a local practitioner, followed by an informal social get-together where attendees can meet with like-minded people to test ideas and collaborate.
We are grass-roots and volunteer-run: volunteers schedule speakers and events. Grant funds are used to ensure the events are attractive and accessible by offering light refreshments.
Estimated cost breakdown of the project: AUD$1,500 for catering. 
This will provide funding for approximately 10 meetings with 20-30 attendees per meeting.
