This is exciting -- I recently moved to Baltimore from Chicago, where there is a thriving startup and hacker culture (see ORD Camp, for example). Good to see that with this and events like Ignite and Node there is a lot going on for geeks in Charm City. Are any Baltimore Pythonistas interested in starting a Python users group in the city? I know there is one in the suburbs but I for one would rather have one where I…

I don't know about Baltimore Pythonistas, but there are plenty in DC. We have a meetup the first Tuesday of every month. It's a little far from Baltimore, but we have some speakers that, IMO, is worth the trip.

Will people get matched up with groups when they show up? I have two problems: I don't know anyone going, and I don't have any ideas for a project ...

yes! That's the main point of this. At opening ceremonies we will work to help people form teams. You don't even have to have an idea yet.

I believe people will be matched up with groups if they desire, and present their ideas at the start.

Also there's an ideas wiki at http://baltimorehackathon.pbworks.com/w/page/Heres-my-idea ... it's pretty sparse right now but maybe people will throw some ideas up there.

I'm a Python programmer near Baltimore. Where is the user group in the suburbs? I might join a Baltimore user group especially if it met on weekends. Weeknights are tough for me.

It's called the BACON-PIG http://pangalactic.us/bacon-pig/ It's in Greenbelt.

I would find interesting something related. Creating a platform for defining the next stage of an idea and how to code it in software. A collaborative remote project.

We're adding ideas to this page: http://baltimorehackathon.pbworks.com/w/page/Heres-my-idea

There is an apostrophe in that link that HN is apparently stripping out. Just go the the front page of the wiki and you'll see the link.
