Hi Bruce,

is it ok if I pop along just for the first hour or so? My other half has
arranged that we're going to a dinner party later that evening ...

I know I'll probably miss most of the Python fun, but it's been ages since
I've been along and I'm missing the Python chat!

No problem if not, I don't want to crowd someone out who might stay for the
coding.

Toby

Subject: [python-uk] Python Django jobs at the University of Oxford
Message-ID: <CACj6pwmrub4PGEK+BV6JRQNQU-fitmcfSN+AvEs+RyK2wfhRAw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

Just a note to say we're hiring at least one Python/Django web
developer at Oxford University Computing Services.

The primary project you'll be working on is Mobile Oxford (the
University's award winning mobile services). There's a lot of
interesting  and blue-sky work yet to be done on this project which
combines dozens of data sources from across our University to provide
services such as location-based library searches and real time bus
information, using mobiles to answer lecture questions in real time
and much more (we're currently working on a major UI refresh).

In addition to this, there will be a number of other projects using
Python including a user-facing VoIP phone management system, the
University's central audio/video repository system and workflow.

Deadline:
1200hrs 16h January 2012

Job description and link to online application:
http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/jobs/mobilewebdev.xml

Salary:
29099-35788GBP + pension of 4656-5726GBP / annum

Working environment:
Relaxed, fun, lots of room to explore ideas. Access to the facilities
of one of the world's greatest universities. Many other benefits
including travel loans etc.

Some of our favourite tools:
* Python
* Django
* Flask
* Github
* JIRA
* Continuous Integration (Buildbot/Jenkins)
* MASSIVE whiteboards
* Cake
* Macs (although some are sacrilegious and use Fedora/Ubuntu on their macs).

Drop me a line with any questions,

Tim

For us provincials, Harry Percival is repeating his workshop held last
year in London, but in Coventry.

This is being held at the monthly PyWM Tech Meeting in Coventry on
28th January, it's a Workshop on Test Driven Django Development with
Selenium, led
by Harry, whom you will remember from PyCon UK 2011.

There has been a lot of interest in this, and we are limiting numbers.
You need to book, and book NOW if you're interested.

Booking is at pywmtdds at eventbrite.com, and there is a wiki page at

Hi,

On Thursday, in the Python Code Dojo, I did the quick talk about how to
a screensaver in KDE, with Python and Pygame.

Here there is the quick blog post that I did:
http://pintant.cat/2011/09/11/screensaver-for-kde-using-python-and-pygame/

And the source code:

Any question: ask...

Erm, 7.30pm on Tuesday 10 Jan (tomorrow) - the date was in the subject - maybe I should put it in the body text as well...

I just emailed him back with the same. But it's not the first time I've been asked, so maybe I should put it in the body text as well! (people handle emails in such different ways).

Also, some clients (notably gmail) do not show you teh subject when
you look at the body.

This mailing list is intended more for discussion of Python events and 
stuff of interest to people in the UK, rather than for questions about 
use. You probably want python-tutor mailing list, which you can read 
about here:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

To give a quick answer though, you read the lines from a file using 
something like:

with open('filename') as fp:
    for line in fp:
       print line

Then you'll have to read the QTableWidget documentation to find out how 
to add those lines to it, instead of printing them.

Best regards,

     Jonathan

Hey, Hey,

Yes there is a dojo next week. Tom Viner is cat herder for the
occasion (I can't make it due to work commitments). Tickets usually
get "announced" a week in advance. So watch out tomorrow! :-)

App Engine brings to the web development table.  In addition to
exploring Python?s Google App Engine API, course attendees will build,
upload and deploy a complete working webapp to Google?s cloud service
during this one-day, hands-on session.  Course
attendees should note that prior knowledge of Python is useful, but
not essential.


Further information including course content and booking form can be
found on: http://www.flossuk.org/Events/Googleapp

I agree. Although, I do not know if people would be up for a weekend. I would be up for it, since then I think we can have longer and it is not so rushed as people need to prepare for work the other day.

I'd be up for hosting something on Sunday (maybe Saturday) at the office
(Global Radio) in Liecester Square on Sundays if anyone is interested. It's
likely I could get something sorted once a month. We have a proper theater
along with breakout 6 rooms and other large spaces.

That sounds like a plan. I'm happy to?gauge?interest among the
(admittedly self selecting)?audience?of the weekday dojo when I host
it this Thursday. The tickets booked out within 3 hrs this month so
there's clearly unmet demand.

I personally would really enjoy having a longer session to create more
ambitious solutions on a weekend dojo. Although I wouldn't be able to
attend?every time.

Let me know what the interest is like and we can go from there.

Btw, we're actively look for a Python Dev at Global Radio so if there's
interest from experienced devs please let me know.

I estimate that I would go 50% of the Python Dojo's that would happen on
weekends.

Personally, I could probably only make it 10% of the time at weekends. I 
much prefer a weeknight slot.

Good luck to those of you who prefer it though, that shouldn't stop you.

I'd also be interested - I usually attend ldnpydojo on a Thursday but a
weekend would be more ideal. If it were a Sunday I would prefer it to start
and end earlier, for the same reason Thursdays are less than convenient.

There's no reason we couldn't host two events a month at the Global office
(Leicester Square). I have to get sign off but it seems possible. We have a
theatre that will seat around 40 people for presentations. I'll wait until
I get final approval before moving forward.

Choosing the day/time of a dojo is always going to inconvenience
someone. I have a young family and weekends are precious. Obviously I
could make a Saturday dojo but not every month.

If Ed is willing to provide a location along with free pizza and beer
(which is the usual package provided by a "sponsor") then I think it's
a cracking good idea!

Actually, rather than run a dojo (which is quite a focussed affair)
why not run a hackathon? Self selecting teams can coalesce around a
problem area rather than specific problem and have 6 hours to produce
something before a show-and-tell. For example, running a hackathon
around the subject of "Living in London" (I'm making this up as I go
along, can't you tell..?) might produce tools for grabbing data, quick
and lightweight websites, data-analysis tools, cloud based APIs to
aggregate information or single use applications such as something
that sends you a text message if it's going to rain in London in the
next 24 hours... and so on.

Now, *that* would be awesome and play to the extended period of time
we'd have at our disposal.

What's the upper limit on numbers..? How are people fixed in February?

Just throwing ideas around... ;-)

I like the idea of a hackathon and the venue would lend itself well to
this. I've been told that we won't have budget for food or drink but I have
other contacts that I may able to convince to help sponsor the events. As I
said, it's early days yet and I've only just started the formal process for
sign-off and I'm hoping to have that sorted this week. I'll have a look
around the theatre and meeting rooms to get a better idea of how many we
can support.

Hi Ross,

That's an idea! Once I get the sign off I may find we have enough time for
2 or 3 events a month. Will have to gauge interest towards the end of the
week.

Hmmm... might this not cause hackathon fatigue? There are a lot of
developer related events in London and doing something too much will
probably start really well and then dribble off as the new "shiny"
comes along.

When I think about what we do in the dojo I reckon the limitations of
size and frequency (we can only do it once a month in an office
that'll hold no more than 30 hackers) actually plays to our advantage.
People know the damn thing is going to sell out within hours and won't
be around for another 4-5 weeks so best book a ticket RIGHT NOW!!11!!1!

:-)

Happy to help out in any way I can.

We get around 30-40 signups for the London Clojure Dojos. We also run
monthly Incanter/Clojure Hack days and Overtone/Clojure hack days (not
quite monthly yet). The weekend numbers are much smaller than the
weeknight numbers for a monthly event.

I'm curious to see how the numbers compare.

cheers,
Bruce

You're right about the fatigue and it's my fault for being unclear. The
events won't all be python related. I have contacts with people from other
events so I'm thinking one Python dojo or hackathon, a general themed
hackathon with participation from multiple disciplines and maybe a barcamp
every other month or something. I'm still working out the details and  I've
started hitting up other companies for potential sponsorship.

Still early days. The one thing I don't want to do is step on the toes of
the existing dojo. So please, if you feel this is the case let me know and
we can work something out. Maybe the  python dojo stays as it is and we
concentrate on a Python hackathon on the weekend (which I really like the
idea of).

Absolutely no toes stepped upon at all! :-)

The more Python / dev related events we have in London the better. The
important thing is to coordinate (we've had double bookings before)
and that we build upon the energy these efforts generate.

I too like the idea of a hackathon - a lot more scope for extensive
things to happen. The dojo is all about learning and extending your
skills by practising using a specific problem whereas a hackathon is
all about producing *something* useful in a particular problem domain
("Living in London", "Hack the NHS" etc...)

Hi Nick,

Absolutely, is there a system in place somewhere to help coordinate these
or is it on an ad-hoc basis? Do you just check Lanyard or something?

I'd love to participate in a hackathon. Another idea is putting together a
PSF sanctioned python sprint <http://pythonsprints.com/>. These are sprints
that would be for the benefit of the wider python community e.g.

   - Python Core work, e.g, bug triage, documentation
   - Porting libraries/applications to Python 3
   - PyPI and packaging related improvements
   - Contribution to Python VMs, e.g., PyPy, IronPython
   - Contribution to other Python projects, e.g., Django, PIL, pywin32 and
   so on...

The PSF are also willing to help out with costs if your application is
accepted.

Richard

We post well in advance on the python-uk mailing list. Code dojos are
usually the first Thursday of every month except January (and
sometimes September depending on the academic year). We take August off.

A Python Sprint is a fantastic idea as well.

I've double checked our facilities and we can easily accomodate 35 in the
theater and can squeeze in another 7 chairs up front (might be a little
cramped though) and there's a little bit of standing room off the side.

I think 40-45 people would be the max unless presentations are short and
some people don't mind standing. If that's the case we could fit maybe 50
or so. There's plenty of space in the conference rooms and breakout areas
(couches and various chairs).

Ed, it sounds great. I think it would be very good to
host a different Python session in London, perhaps in
the other half of the month from the Dojo, and that
it be a weekend will obviously allow some people to
come who couldn't come otherwise -- just as the
reverse is true for our Thursday Dojos.

As Nicholas says, we tend to coordinate simply through
the python-uk mailing list (ie this one) with tweets
and any other means people wish to use. I don't think
we're on Lanyard altho' I could be wrong.

The size you're talking about is probably about as big
as you really want before the thing moves into being
a conference. Just in curiosity, would it be possible
for you to post a photo of your presentation space?

I second the suggestion for a sprint, at least as one
way of making use of the session. I'm fairly sure that
the PSF sprinters are particularly keen on Python3-porting
sprints.

For my own part, I'd like to be able to come. I'm in West
London, but I run a boys' club on Saturdays and Sunday is
the only free space I get :) Have to see... Thanks again
for offering the space. Let's see if we can get something
going.

I would be very much up for a Python sprint, although like others I'm squeezed on Sundays. If there's any way I can help with the organizing, I'd be up for that too.

While all are very good ideas, there is still clearly a need for a second
London python dojo since tickets fly in just a few hours after the
announcement.

Just a thought

If there's enough demand I'd be happy to host a second dojo as well. The
space is easy to find, covering the food and drink is what I'm working on
now.

I'll take some pictures this evening before I leave the office, as it's
less crowded, and send them along.

yeah, that's what i was asking, ie -- 'does anyone else wish there
were saturday/sunday *python dojos* in london? am i the only one in
this situation?'

i am only interested in a weekend python dojo. and for what it's
worth, free pizza and beer were not totally essential to my enjoyment
of the weeknight dojo.

the open-ended, yet still predictable dojo format was what i went for.
i think whoever came up with that really nailed it. or maybe i just
like routines and predictable yet open-ended formats because i have
asperger's.
