##Grant proposal to annual cover meetup.com fees for PhillyPUG

Grant Proposal: $144 (Tom, is this correct?) to cover the cost of the Philadelphia Python user group’s (PhillyPUG) meetup.com subscription for on year: May 2014 through May 2015.

Grant Objective: Fund the use of meetup.com for organizing and managing the PhillyPUG for a 12 month period. meetup.com helps to increase the visibility of the user group, as well as boost attendance through automated reminders, RSVP functionality, and other tools. It also makes organizing and promoting the group easier, as well as providing a platform to garner sponsorships and thank sponsors publicly.

Grant Size: $144 (check this) total, which is the cost of 12 months to organize a group on meetup.com.

Grant Beneficiaries: PhillyPUG has over 1,000 members on meetup.com. We have had monthly meetings since 2009 and have an average attendance of 40-60 Python programmers. meetup.com

RedSnake is a meeting where Rubyists and Pythonistas get together to throw down some hard tech and inspire each other to level up. Ultimately we aim to accomplish the following:

To be the premier technical event for hardcore programmers in Philadelphia
To inspire and provide an environment of learning to those who are new to programming
To introduce Philadelphia’s top companies to Philadelphia’s top programmers
To raise national recognition for Philadelphia’s tech community and attract top talent to the city

The format is 2 hours of alternating 10 minute lightning talks. It’s intense, technical, and mind blowing.
