If you're interested in Python for the web, - a DjangoCon in the UK for the first time ever. In brief: six days, including an open day, a packed programme of tutorials, and ambitious plans for diversity and accessibility. And early-bird registration is about to close, very soon. There's a summary of news and activity at . Regards, Daniele From dave.snowdon at gmail.com Sun Feb 22 13:36:39 2015 From: dave.snowdon at gmail.com (Dave Snowdon) Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 12:36:39 +0000 Subject: [python-uk] robotics, software & devices hackathon 11-12 April, London Message-ID: Hi folks Registration is now open for the NAO interfaces 2015 hackathon which will take place over the weekend of 11-12 April at Queen Mary University London (near Mile End tube). The basic aim is to get as much cool stuff together in one place for a weekend and see what amazing things people like you can do with it. Since the event is being organised by UKNAO , there will be NAO robots there. We've also had confirmation from Thlamic Labs that they will be providing myo gesture control armbands for use during the hackathon. We should be announcing more sponsors and more devices nearer the event, but you're welcome to bring & build your own devices too. If this sounds at all interesting you can find more information and sign up on eventbrite . cheers Dave -- Dave Snowdon twitter: @davesnowdon web: http://www.davesnowdon.com & http://about.me/dave.snowdon/ [image: nao-developer] Member of the NAO Developer Program -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've tried in the past to attent other hackatons and I really can't work all those hours in a row with no rest. I don't want to come, join a team and risk to leave the team in the middle of the project because I can't keep working on it. Am I the only one with this problem? Is it possible to attend the event without being in a team, just hacking on something without any delivery on time constraint? Cheers.

I tried that once and I was so tired the second day I might as well have not been there. No one will stop you from attending and working on your own. Likewise no one is going to force you to demo anything if you don't want to. Erika is right: hackathons are a great way to meet other developers and learn new stuff. It's just more fun (IMHO) working in a team.

Trans*Code will be beginner friendly with the goals of bringing new people into the tech community and building connections as well as hacking on solutions to issues facing trans and non-binary people. While it's open to all languages, we're offering a Python tutorial to start it, and I'd love to have a few Pythonistas on hand to coach and mentor. Everyone says that the Python community is one of the most inclusive around, it would be great to show it. And non-trans allies are most welcome to participate as well - we need all the allies we can get. :-) Trans*Code will begin with an install and social event the evening of 27 March, with a day of hacking 28 March. The event will be at GoCardless, Angel House, 3rd floor, 338-346 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7LQ For more information go to http://trans-code.org and to register visit our Eventbrite page at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/transcode-tickets-15831761224 Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We're having a PostgreSQL meetup in Manchester on March 4th (http://www.meetup.com/The-Manchester-PostgreSQL-Meetup/) and would love to see as many of you as possible! We're kicking off with a talk by Simon Riggs on the new features of PostgreSQL 9.4. If enough time is available, Simon might mention release 9.5 due later on this year. Followed by Question Time - ask as many questions as you wish. Who is Simon Riggs, you wonder? Simon is a major developer and committer of the PostgreSQL project and has contributed major features in each of the last 8 versions of PostgreSQL. His work includes recovery and replication, performance and monitoring as well as designs for many other features. Simon has worked as a Database Architect for more than 25 years, with high-end solutions experience and certifications on Oracle, Teradata and DB2. No pizza this time, but Simon will buy the first round of drinks at the local pub. Hope you are able to spend the evening with us. Josette Josette Garcia . Community Manager 2ndQuadrant.com .

If you do not identify with these descriptions please feel free to pass this promotional code on to others who are, but I'd appreciate if male attendees could take standard tickets only, which require no promo code. I'm not intending to enforce this, but allowing these tickets to be taken by those who might not normally attend, or who may feel hesitant to book a place, we help to keep the reputation of the UK Python Community one of inclusivity, a reputation I think we all feel proud of.

I'd love to invite you all to a Django Sprint that will take place in Potato office in London on 21-22nd March. Django Sprint is a free event for Python and Django enthusiasts who want to learn more about contributing to Django and Django related projects, and spend a day hacking on open source while surrounded by like-minded people. Django Sprint welcomes everyone (seriously, you!), no matter the level of experience. Sprint leaders and your co-sprinters will help you get started and submit your first (or yet another!) patch to the open source project of your choice during the day. We're also looking for sponsorships in a range of 200-400 GBP for food and drinks. If your company would like to present yourself in front of 60 awesome Python developers, please do get in touch with me :) The event is non-profit and we very much want to keep it community driven. See you there! High fives, Ola Sitarska -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
