+We’re gathering at the Downtown Madison Public Library for a fast-paced night of Python ideas and community conversation. We’ve got a full lineup of talks from local members, covering everything from tiny hardware to big-picture tech culture:
+
+* “Python on Microcontrollers” — David Webber
+* “Reject techno-feudalism with omg.lol 😜” — Eric Staats
+* “Replicating the Magic™ of the Cloud in Your Basement” — Wesley Hershberger
+* MadPy Community Environment Survey Discussion — David Hoese
+
+If you haven’t responded to the community environment survey yet, it’s still open—we’d love your input before the meetup. The results will help kick off a group discussion about the tools, workflows, and day-to-day realities of our local Python community.

+
+Whether you’re a longtime member or totally new, Lightning Talk nights are one of the best ways to reconnect, learn something unexpected, and meet friendly developers in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
+
+All are welcome. Bring a friend. We’d love to see you there!

 The MadPy Book Club recently read 4 books on technical systems. This month, Eric and the group will present what we've learned from each. Join us for a brief review of texts on the backbone of modern software.
 
 Eric Staats, organizer of the MadPy Book Club, is a mostly self-taught software developer working at Rockwell Automation. Outside of using Python professionally, he enjoys dabbling in the full stack web world with Flask and FastAPI (and React). Outside of programming entirely, he enjoys road biking and playing guitar.
