Hello,

Will any of you who are interested in a pandas/numpy/scipy/pyspark/R/spark/etc
be at the tech meetup (
http://opentechcalendar.co.uk/event/2595-techmeetup-edinburgh) this evening?

I'll be there if anyone wants to meet up and chat: I'm short, bald and will
be wearing a shirt that looks like it has lemons on it.

Some of you are coming to the 2015 EuroPython in Bilbao. What about a
"Python Scotland" gathering? :)

It would be nice to meet at night and go for beers and pintxos!

If you are interested send me a message: dablak at gmail.com

Which day is best for you? Choose here: http://doodle.com/97x6f2fdsb4h7wna

Message-ID: <CAJbmcmSbD0Xkvaitsw_FB=4ivc4YRFL52MKCugeAuaX75xaBWA@mail.gmail.com>

Thanks to the nice people at LogicNow we have a venue for a dojo. The
evening will be small teams working on a simple project, then presenting
your solution at the end of the night. You don't have to know Go at all,
each team will be a mix of Go knowledge levels.

It all starts at LogicNow, 7 Union Square, behind the Sheraton Hotel on
Lothian Road, from 6:30. They are providing drink and pizzas, if you have
any dietary requirements let me know and we shall try and accommodate you.

You can get a free ticket at

Hola Pythonianos,

For all of you that are coming to Bilbao.

We're going to have a Scottish meet up on Tuesday at 8pm.

The place is Plaza Miguel de Unamuno. Just in the kind of fountain/monument
in the middle of the square. Very close to Casco Viejo metro station.

The plan is to go to BACAICOA bar that is at the same square. Have some
pintxos and then follow to other bars according to this guide
http://almabotxera.com/2013/08/08/ruta-de-pintxos-casco-viejo/ They are
really close each other.

My phone number is ??+34 619 13 20 46?

See you on Tuesday at 8pm!

Regards,
Daniel

The short answer is yes. The medium answer is not yet - I haven't sent out
an email with details of how to register! In the next couple of days,
hopefully!

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python scene in Edinburgh
Message-ID: <CAKjPE3rYiwJX_1nP_PWKj_bwJO0sm9AThd7Jbzn3SF9q0-LGkA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I hope those who are at EuroPython are enjoying themselves!!

My name is Nicole - I'm a Python (mainly Django) developer and web
designer.  I met my husband (who is also a Python dev) in Edinburgh, and
after six years in Australia (I am Australian) we're thinking about
returning to live and work there :)

I just wanted to get a bit of a feel on what the local scene is for
developers?  We were running our own business in Australia (kabucreative.com)
and are happy to continue to do so - so that means we're open to all kinds
of work - including consulting/freelance.

Are there any employers/contacts of note that we should be speaking to?
We're hoping to come up to visit soon (we're currently in London) if anyone
would like to meet up face-to-face.

For you reference I am at whoisnicoleharris.com and my husband at
ojh.github.io

Cheers!
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

I'm at EuroPython, and on my phone so I'll be brief: The scene in Edinburgh
is smallish but very vibrant. We have two billion dollar startups hiring
Python devs: FanDuel (my employers!) and Skyscanner. Other notable
companies off the top of my head are Hogarth, Ecometrica and Mercury Tide.
Also check out the local incubators, Codebase and TechCube which are full
of small tech companies.

Good luck!

Mark

Hi Nicole

There's also a good tech community in Edinburgh.  As well as Python
Edinburgh, we also have a PyLadies Edinburgh group (find us on meet up) and
there's lots of other tech-related meet up groups in Edinburgh.  Most are
(I think) listed on https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/area/62-edinburgh/

Becky

Thanks Mark,

I appreciate your response :)

Cheers,
Nicole

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] When Should We Have Python Dojo?
Message-ID: <CA+7Edn=3FkvzMoz-xK1TaWfVof8Tdx+NWp9ej6=VSfJvPNmzWA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Another month, another mess. We're due to have a Python Dojo tomorrow, but
I haven't arranged a venue for it, and I haven't organised any way to sign
up. (I've been away for the past week)

I think the dojo is the most popular event we run, so I'm reluctant to
cancel it. Would people prefer if I postponed it to next Tuesday, or to
next month?

--Mark

PS: On a side note, I'd love for more people to get involved with the
organisation of this user group - so if you're interested, please send me
an email!

Hi Mark,

I'm away next week so I'd rather it was in a month's time but whatever
suits the most people.

What sort of tasks do you need help with? I've got a couple of holidays
coming up but I'd be happy to help with the Dojos.

Next Tuesday is good for me ... and so is next month, why not both, the
dojo's are a lot of fun :D
(also willing to help out with planning and organisation)

FWIW I'm not here next week, but I think you should dojo-ise next Tuesday
anyway - strike while the iron is hot and all that .. you do see to have a
critical mass? :-)

I am with James on this: any of the days, or both.

I came to know about the dojo inspired on Mark's EuroPython talk  on 
"Writing Awesome Command-Line Programs in Python 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR73nLbbgqY>". If I may make a 
suggestion, could we make the next Dojo based on the recommendations 
that Mark makes during the talk? Or does any one think that this might 
derail the normal flow of the Dojo?

Lex.

Message-ID: <CAFkoRkL3LdLcGO99e7vvksPAMcaknS8Se2fDox_NZ5HQmR6HLg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am excited to annouce the speakers for our Python talks next month.

This month we are focusing on core Python, meaning that we are mostly
going to be covering the Python standard library and some of it's
really interesting areas. The full talk descriptions are included
below.

I think it is going to be a great one, so don't delay as the tickets
went quickly last time. You can sign up for a ticket here:

    http://python-glasgow-2015-august-talks.eventbrite.co.uk/

SkyScanner are hosting us and will be provising food and drinks.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Dougal

Talk 1: Lazy Python by Jeffrey Burrows (J P Morgan)

How the sheer laziness of the itertools library can make your code
faster, prettier and more memory efficient.


Talk 2: Asynchronous Python with asyncio by Kevin McDermott (Heroku)

Python 3.4 added asyncio, a mysterious library that can get more out
of your Python runtimes, without adding the overhead of threading.

Kevin will explain what it does, and how it works, and how you can get
more out of modern Python applications with an event-driven approach.

If you want to know what a dojo is, here's the description I wrote last time:

# Python Edinburgh Dojos

A dojo is an opportunity to get together with a bunch of other
developers and practice our craft in a friendly and informal
environment. It's an opportunity to learn from (or help) your peers
and to work with technologies that maybe you don't encounter in your
everyday role.

We find the original coding dojos, as laid out by the Paris user group
to be very formal and slightly intimidating! Instead, we loosely
follow the format of the London Python Dojos.

## Stage 1: Gather

We all get together at an agreed place and time. We chat until we
think that everyone is here.

## Stage 2: Pick a Project

Everyone gets around the whiteboard and throws around ideas for
something we could attempt to achieve in a couple of hours. We put
together a list and then everyone votes on their favourite idea. The
ideal idea should be fun, challenging but not impossible in the time.

## Stage 3: Pick Teams

Teams are chosen organically based on general experience and more
specific experience with the kind of chosen project. The teams should
all be of mixed experience -- we encourage total newbies to get stuck
in!

## Stage 4: Solve the Problem

Each team gathers to work somewhere in the space provided and attempts
to solve the problem. The solution can lean whatever way the team
decides: practical, hacky, fun or totally ludicrous.

## Stage 5: Demo your Solution

It's showtime! You demo your solution (working or not) to the other
teams and say what you learned (if anything). This is particularly
good if your solution is silly.

Depending on how the whole group feels, we may or may not elect a
winner. There is no prize except experience :)

Thank you Mark,

Is there a way I can help in organizing pythonedinburgh meetings?
Is there some equivalent of the check lists at
https://github.com/techmeetup/edinburgh? Would creating one help?
(I only found site and dojo stuff at https://github.com/python-edinburgh/)

Thanks,
Laurence
