Would anybody else like to join us? We are both getting the train down at the same time and staying in the Ibis which is right next to the conference venue. It should be good fun!

By creating a shared space to do this, we provide access to better facilities than we could each have at home, as well as opportunities to collaborate, learn, and socialise. We started a year ago with 12 founding members and have grown to 20+ paying members plus many regular visitors spanning diverse backgrounds in engineering, art and science, using the space in hobby, academic and professional capacities. We've decked out the lab with a laser cutter, CNC mill and 3D printer letting us fabricate almost anything, we've run regular open nights and other events and built loads of cool stuff. And we still have yet MORE planned over the next year, including moving to a new and bigger space. To mark the occasion we are celebrating in style and have booked out the entire ground floor at the Out Of the Blue Drill Hall, complete with bar. As well as the opportunity for a drink with our members and friends the lab will be open too and we'll be inviting you to see the space and some of the projects we've completed over the past year. There will also be a raffle with some great prizes donated by sponsors including O'Reilly, Oomlout and Los Cardos. Don't miss it! When: Saturday 24th of September 2011 starting at 16:30 till 21:00 (plus pub afterwards for the hardcore) Where: Out of the Blue, 36 Dalmeny Street, Edinburgh EH6 8RG (map: http://g.co/maps/xcuux) We look forward to seeing you there!

Message-ID: Hi all, The monthly pub meetup will be tomorrow in Berts Bar, from around 6:30. We will have a printout of the Python logo on the table for any new faces (and we've had several new signups to the mailing list, so I'm hopeful!) A subset of the group was at PyconUK this weekend, and we have some ideas for changing the format of the group, so anyone who's interested in discussing the idea of running talks, dojos and free Python training should definitely come along! --Mark From derek.hoy at gmail.com Mon Sep 26 11:13:34 2011 From: derek.hoy at gmail.com (Derek Hoy) Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:13:34 +0200 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Pub Meetup Tomorrow!

Whether you?re a first-timer or an experienced veteran, PyCon is depends on you, the community, coming together to build the best conference schedule possible. Our call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) lays out the details it takes to be included in the lineup for the conference in Santa Clara, CA on March 7-15, 2012. If you?re unsure of what to write about, our recent survey yielded a large list of potential talk topics (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-talk-ideas.html), and plenty of ideas for tutorials (INSERT TUTORIAL POST). We?ve also come up with general tips on proposal writing at http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/08/writing-good-proposal.html to ensure everyone has the most complete proposal when it comes time for review. As always, the program committee wants to put together an incredible conference, so they?ll be working with submitters to fine tune proposal details and help you produce the best submissions. We?ve had plenty of great news to share since we first announced the call for proposals. Paul Graham of Y Combinator was recently announced as a keynote speaker (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-keynote.html), making his return after a 2003 keynote. David Beazley, famous for his mind-blowing talks on CPython?s Global Interpreter Lock, was added to the plenary talk series (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-first-pycon-2012-plenary.html). Sponsors can now list their job openings on the ?Job Fair? section of the PyCon site (http://pycon.blogspot.com/2011/09/announcing-pycon-2012-fair-page-sponsor.html). We?re hard at work to bring you the best conference yet, so stay tuned to PyCon news at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/pycon. We recently eclipsed last year?s sponsorship count of 40 and are currently at a record 52 organizations supporting PyCon.

Project home: www.lightirc.com [16:26:24] Flash policy problem. If you are the server owner, please read http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects/lightirc/wiki/Flash_Policy_setup_instructions. You need to install a flash policy daemon at irc.freenode.net/python-edinburgh (port 843). Is it possible for someone to modify the IRC server to allow connections from a Flash client on the python-edinburgh freenode channel? See: http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects/lightirc/wiki/Flash_Policy_setup_instructions (or does it mean it's just our web server blocking flash?) Thanks, Ed.

So its not your company. However, on the downside, it seems it requires something special on the server as it wants to connect on port 843. This appears to be the port flash uses for http requests however IRC is normally running on 6667 I think. Have you tried irccloud? It's pretty small so I would be surprised if your company knows about it and was created by some ex-Last.fm people I believe. https://irccloud.com/ (I just sent you an invite to the beta.)
