Brisbane Python User Group meetup checklist

[x] choose day (default: second Wednesday of the month)
[x] choose venue (current default: River City Labs, 315 Brunswick St)
[x] choose topics/find speakers (see the talks repo for ideas)
[x] announce on MeetUp (requires organiser access to the MeetUp group)
- please use a suffix of "BrisPy: " for all meetups
[x] arrange food sponsorship (current default: Superloop)
[x] preorder food (see current default food order below)
[x] check waitlist numbers the week of the meetup and post MeetUp comment to remind folks to adjust their RSVP if they can't make it
[ ] post MeetUp comment to thank attendees, speakers & sponsors and provide a pointing to the talks repo to both request and offer talks
[ ] file the admin issue for the next month's MeetUp

Meetup announcement notes:

start time is 5:45pm for a 6:00pm start
mention the day & date in the meeting title (MeetUp's UI doesn't make it very prominent otherwise)
thank both the venue sponsor and the food sponsor

use the talks repo, that's what it's for :)
the PyCon Australia schedule can also be a good resource for finding folks that are local to Brisbane and willing to talk about Python in public
we aim for talks to run for 25-30 minutes, including time for questions (not coincidentally, this is also a typical PyCon AU timeslot)
make sure speakers know which of them is speaking first
make sure speakers have a mobile contact number for at least one of the organisers

Default food order is 2-3 share platters from Art of Catering.

@kaiw @rstuart85 I've locked in speakers for this meetup (see https://github.com/BrisPy/talks )

Now over to both of you :+1:

Excellent, thanks!

I've just updated the issue template for the recent changes and pasted it above as well.
