EuroPython CfP is open (for only two weeks) Message-ID: Hi Folks, https://blog.europython.eu/post/173666124852/europython-2018-call-for-proposals-cfp-is-open The wonderfully cosmopolitan and friendly EuroPython is happening in Edinburgh *the week before the Edinburgh Festival starts*. Because of various reasons things have been slow off the mark this year which means the CfP (which just opened -- see linked blog post) is only open for two weeks. Get your proposals in fast! Then the unique-to-EuroPython community voting process so the conference welcomes a diverse range of speakers presenting on subjects currently of interest to the Python community. Many moons ago, EuroPython is where I did my very first ever conference talk (about the London Python Code Dojo) and you won't find a more welcoming, diverse or friendly crowd to present to. If you're not sure and / or seeking advice, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me and I'll try to help as best I can. The upshot is, just dive in, you'll be supported and won't regret it. Best wishes, N. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm testing the platform now and listing bugs/outstanding connections on a Trello board. All the bugs I'm finding are front end Javascript/Ember related. Our back end is Django framework with Python. There are couple small design implementations that need to be finished and the notifications need to be connected with my email templates dropped in. I have a dev friend, building the Admin Panel(metrics GUI) for us in another tech stack. I'll be integrating video into the platform, so someone who likes making demos/screencasting would be nice, but not essential. Our actual platform is in stealth mode, but available to see. The biz: Brand Concierge is marketplace is for hiring a top agency in marketing, branding, PR & advertising. It is a marketplace and project management platform. We will grow through network effect and we have some great features that will be disruptive for the industry. I have a deck, financial projections, I would like to find a London based experienced full stack developer to join us, who is talented in the following technologies: MySQL databases, Python/Django, Linux servers, Cloudfront CDN, JavaScript/HTML5/JQuery/Ember, AWS & Git(bitbucket). Skill & requirements: HTML5/ CSS3/ JavaScript (ECMA Script 6), experience of JavaScript frameworks, Experience of responsive design, Knowledge of REST API's, ability to write/test code and use common debugging tools, good communication skills, organised & able to deliver to a deadline.

In our last sprints on the python.org website more than 50% of the people spent the whole sprint trying to set up the environment. That's why this time besides updating Python amd Django we'll work on making the process much easier. Your experience will be very relevant. :) Also, it'd be great if you can briefly explain about the importance of the sprint and contributing to the python.org website and what are the priorities, on behalf of the PSF. That would be extremly useful for all us. See you there!
