Python is one of the most popular and versatile (not to mention powerful) programming languages around. At least that's what you've heard, right? Well, it's time to find out for sure, and we're all going to do it together.</p><p data-sourcepos="22:1-22:299" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">The Software Freedom School is hosting a Python Study Group. This will be a peer led event, meeting every Thursday night from 6:00-9:00pm, starting on September 10th, for 8 weeks. Due to current circumstances there will be no in-person option, so we will all be attending via web conferencing tools.</p><p data-sourcepos="24:1-24:288" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Who's teaching this you ask? We all are. This is a peer led event, and that means we're all here to help each other. We will be working out of the "Python Crash Course" book by Eric Matthes. Be sure to pick up a copy from Amazon, or where ever you like to get your geek reading materials.</p><p data-sourcepos="26:1-26:256" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">The cost of attendance is PWYW (Pay What You Want) from $0-256. Just remember that there are infrastructure and hosting costs incurred by the Software Freedom School, so any contributions are much appreciated. Buying the book is your responsibility though.</p><p data-sourcepos="28:1-28:98" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Hyperlink to book on Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Python-Crash-Course-2nd-Edition/dp/1593279280/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.amazon.com/Python-Crash-Course-2nd-Edition/dp/1593279280/">https://www.amazon.com/Python-Crash-Course-2nd-Edition/dp/1593279280/</a><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p><p data-sourcepos="30:1-30:56" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Link to the online survey: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/SFSPython" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tinyurl.com/SFSPython">https://tinyurl.com/SFSPython</a><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p><p data-sourcepos="32:1-32:75" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.meetup.com/sofreeus/events/rjrlxrybcnbcb/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.meetup.com/sofreeus/events/rjrlxrybcnbcb/">Register on Meetup</a><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p><hr data-sourcepos="34:1-35:0"><h2 data-sourcepos="36:1-36:45" dir="auto"><a id="user-content-october-classes-postings-will-be-up-soon" class="anchor" href="#october-classes-postings-will-be-up-soon" aria-hidden="true" data-mce-href="#october-classes-postings-will-be-up-soon"></a>OCTOBER CLASSES (postings will be up soon)</h2><h1 data-sourcepos="38:1-38:95" dir="auto"><a id="user-content-online-2020-10-03-monitoring-alerting-and-dashboards-with-prometheus-grafana-and-friends" class="anchor" href="#online-2020-10-03-monitoring-alerting-and-dashboards-with-prometheus-grafana-and-friends" aria-hidden="true" data-mce-href="#online-2020-10-03-monitoring-alerting-and-dashboards-with-prometheus-grafana-and-friends"></a>ONLINE: 2020-10-03 Monitoring, Alerting, and Dashboards with Prometheus, Grafana, and friends</h1><p data-sourcepos="40:1-40:197" dir="auto" style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;">Mike Shoup, Justin Lang, and David L.
