Message-ID: The rule we use for pythonjobs.github.io is that the advert has to name the actual company the ad is for(not just an agency/broker). This was something that Sal Fadhley suggested, IIRC. This allows posts by agents, but tends to lead to more useful/informative ads, and avoids the vague teasers that are often seen as spam. I suggest we adopt the same rule on this list, on top of Richard's comments Thanks Steve On Wed, 2 Sep 2015 at 19:48 Richard Barran wrote: > Hi Sophie, > > A quick hint: job ads are welcome here, but only if correctly written and > targeted.

Message-ID: While I'm not currently looking for anything, in London, personally I think given there are around 2 or 3 such postings a year on this list (if that), imposing "rules" as such is a little odd. As *suggestions* though, IMO both comments make sense. Starting a new thread makes sense though - rather than just replying to the list digest with an unchanged subject - since it's less likely to be read. Must admit personally, when I see these things I think - location? (if down south, remote working?) what is it? who is it? does it pay the bills?

They've said they would be up for loaning us micro:bit devices for community events over the Autumn (heavy emphasis on the word *loan* here). :-) If you're interested in having your evening user group become a "hey let's play with MicroPython on the micro:bit" type affair please let me know via this list. I suspect I'll have to attend in person to chaperone the devices but that also means you get me to do a talk on MicroPython and the device itself. I may also be able to arrange some funky peripheral devices (a micro:bit robot car for example) to be included. My aim is two-fold: * Testing / feedback on MicroPython on the micro:bit * Idea / resource generation kickstart I'm based near Northampton so Oxford, Brum and Cambridge are easy to get to. My folks live in north Nottinghamshire so "oop north" is within striking distance if I combine that with a trip back home. Scotland is a totally different matter but I do have relatives in south Wales I could combine into a weekend trip to Cardiff if anyone is interested. These would need to be evening events since I actually do a "real job" during the day. :-) Also, I'd need to know potential dates ASAP. Any takers..?

I'm speaking a little out of turn here but ... ... for those who haven't followed the plot so far, can I point out just how much work and diplomacy this represents on the part of Nicholas, the MicroPython team and other supporters? When the PSF was first asked to look at Python on the micro:bit, MicroPython wasn't even on the table. It seems like a perfect fit, but convincing the right people of that has not been easy and has meant months of tact and patience -- and uncertainty. If you're interested in running a micro:bit coding evening -- even if you have to organise one specially -- then please do. If you can get teachers involved, better still. The APIs are still being finalised, but the more great examples we can get, the better Python will look to the teachers & kids who are going to be using the device.
