Subject: [python-uk] PyCon X Italy: Call for Proposals (deadline Jan 6th)
Message-ID: <CAEfxiG0Uzd=AwYnum1bqapuo_SFigC84UxC-jir3HS4Eir1RQQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone!

Next PyCon Italy will take place, as usual, in Florence on May 2nd /
5th. The CfP is still open and we would be glad to receive more
submission.

There will be multiple tracks dedicated to Community, Django, PyData
etc... so there is plenty of choice about the subject.

Most of the talks will be in english language, so we of course accept
submissions in english and you will be able to enjoy most of the
conference even if you don't speak Italian.

I don't want to copy-paste here all the information, but you can find
all the details at this page
https://www.pycon.it/en/call-for-proposals/

If you have any specific question, you can ask me or contact the other
organisers https://www.pycon.it/en/contacts/

We are really looking forward to receive your submissions and I
personally wish you an Happy new Year!

Message-ID: <CAOZBAa8VPqm8bD-Z99D=B8T8GzdC0ZfuQFbs-r_-Fk=f7=GifA@mail.gmail.com>

Python-UK!

The London Python Code Dojo is coming back next week, Thursday 10th of Jan
at 6:30pm.

Get your tickets while they last at
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-python-code-dojo-season-10-episode-5-tickets-54338079659

We will come back to Essence digitak: UK House, 180 Oxford Street, W1D 1NN.

We will have our usual mixture of socialising, and hacking on silly
problems. For those who wish, there will be post-Dojo socialising in a
nearby pub. And of course the O'Reilly book give away.

>
What is a dojo?

>
A coding dojo is a safe place (we use the PyCon UK code of conduct) to
deliberately practise and develop your coding skills, and perhaps learn
something new too. We don't really (read: never) stick to a strict dojo
format but rather brainstorm ideas for problems to solve, choosing one
by popular, if complicated, vote, and then break into teams courtesy of
the London Python Dojo Fully Patented Numbering Scheme for an hour and
a half of furious coding (at least, furious something). To wrap the
evening up each team does a ?show and tell?, and end with drinks in the pub.

All programming abilities welcome, we have diverse attendees ranging
from beginners to core Python contributors!

You do not say whether network access is to be considered. Accessing
Python3 in Jupyter does enhance the experience. Paid accounts on
www.pythonanywhere.com offer that, I am sure that there are others. I
have no direct affiliation with them but they have provided good free
service hosting my Flask web app.


I have not tried it but the pydroid3 app provides Jupyter.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.iiec.pydroid3


Termux is another powerful route to outside servers. I gather that you
can run Python3 / Jupyter on it locally too.

I have been very impressed with pydroid3 (
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.iiec.pydroid3).  You can
pip install libraries, including binary ones specifically built for pydroid
including numpy, pandas, cython etc.  I have even managed to run jupyterlab
with it on my Samsung tablet, although it would be a bit fiddly to use on a
small phone screen.

Message-ID: <CAEk5N5vOXGdmqCKB0K=vjT7tpapCJMisMe404ZmCKUKTBBgOVQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there,

The first weekend of February we're having a gathering of contributors of
pandas and its ecosystem in London.

We'll be sprinting and having technical discussions during the weekend. And
Friday afternoon there will be a session with talks, discussions and
updates.

If you're a contributor, and you want to attend, please get in touch.

Also, we're organising a panel with corporate users to discuss how pandas
is used in organisations. And we have couple of spots lefts for lightning
talks. If you are or you know of someone who would like to participate in
any, let me know. Ideally someone who increases the diversity of our so far
only white male speakers.

Finally, if pandas is critical for your company, and your company wants to
get involved in its development, please let me know too. We'd like to have
some informal discussions on Friday to see how companies can better support
pandas development.

Link to the event: https://python-sprints.github.io/europandas2019/

Cheers!

Subject: [python-uk] PyDataLondon 5th annual conference on July 12-14 -
 Sponsorship Call
Message-ID: <CAPvwANCX84tghucFvgJ0gUSzzW9aym74x=_aLsoQc3EiBtFqDg@mail.gmail.com>

Our PyDataLondon annual conference is in its 5th year. We're entirely
volunteer run, backed by NumFOCUS in the US, with all raised funds
going to NumFOCUS to support scientific open source packages like
Pandas, Numpy and Jupyter via sprints, diversity outreach and events.
PyData is a global meetup and conference series, our PyDataLondon is
the largest meetup (with almost 9,000 members) of them all.

Our Call for Proposals for speakers will start in a month or so. We've
started to take sponsorship from last year's sponsors and I'm keen
that if anyone here wants a chance to reach 500 data scientists and
data engineers, they get a fair chance at securing a booth.

The prospectus is on the top-right link ("Sponsor") as a PDF:
https://pydata.org/
and our dates are here:
https://pydata.org/london2019/

This is NumFOCUS if you're not familiar with the how the money goes
back into our Python (and Julia and R) open source data science
community:
https://numfocus.org/

Here's a write-up for last year's conference to give you an idea of
what we get up to:
https://ianozsvald.com/2018/04/30/pydatalondon-2018-and-creating-correct-and-capable-classifiers/

I'm happy to answer any questions. Cheers, Ian.

Subject: [python-uk] Data science focused jobs list - extending my 'first
 post gratis' offer to companies here
Message-ID: <CAPvwANBxOx=GD0+V0GCDGx9+575CFO+KcGrwx81zGX-sM7EP3w@mail.gmail.com>

In addition to various open source activities (e.g. co-founding the
PyDataLondon meetup and conference series) I also run a data science
and data engineering jobs list focused on roles in the UK. The initial
aim was to help bind the nascent Pythonic data science that was
growing out of London.

Several years later I have 850+ members on the list, I send out a jobs
update every 2 weeks to everyone. The list includes various book and
video recommendations and currently includes an educational series on
geodata parsing for data scientists.

If anyone here is recruiting a data scientist or data engineer - send
me an email, I'd be happy to include your job on the list. I offer all
PyDataLondon members a gratis first post, if you're contributing to
our Pythonic ecosystem in some way then I'll offer the same gratis
post to you (otherwise a commercial rate applies).

If you're looking for a data science/engineering job, you'll probably
want to join the list. It is run via mailchimp, your email is never
shared, you can unsubscribe at any time. You'll get a mail every 2
weeks with 12 or so relevant jobs that are UK focused.

Join up here if you'd like to receive the list, the next jobs post
goes out this Monday evening:

Cheers, Ian.

I've built this course out of both my client coaching work and the
talks that I've given at PyDataLondon, PyLondinium, PyConUK,
PyDataAmsterdam, EuroPython, BudapestBI and elsewhere.

The early bird tickets are still available, if you have a colleague
who might benefit from having more confidence in their data science
process then let them know I'm happy to answer questions. More details
and tickets are here:

Message-ID: <2ecd431c-be91-4147-9c84-74933f288054@www.fastmail.com>

Hi folks 

I've been a lurker on this list for a while, and I'd like to post a request for help for a 3-6 month long freelancer project, but I wanted to check what the etiquette was before I did this about posting jobs.

Is there something like [JOBS] I should put in the subject title, so people can filter it out, or similar?

I had a quick skim over the mailing list archive, and I didn't see a pattern in the job ads or but I may well have missed it some guidance - if there is, would a kind soul point me to it?

If there isn't, I'll just send a post in a bit with what I'm looking for.

Thanks

P.S. A bit more context. I work as freelancer myself, and I really like the place I'm working, but I lucked out and a funding application I sent ages ago landed <https://twitter.com/mrchrisadams/status/1085590933884817409>, so I'm looking find someone I can work with to hand over before the new project happens.

Heh :)

This is a fairly quiet list, but whenever someone posts a job post, a 
conversation will ensue along almost Pythonesque lines:

A: Here's a relevant Python-specific job I'm advertising

B: You can't post Jobs here! It's a mailing list

C: *Cough* actually, you can; we discussed this at some length in the 
Council of 2016

B: Oh yes. But it can't be a recruiter

C: Well, it could be if they're posting something specific and not just 
"Ninja Coders to $$$$"

A: So can I post this job?

(silence)


So -- please go ahead and post, and if you want to include something in 
the header to help people who are especially sensitive, please do so.

python-uk: let the Games begin!

Message-ID: <2fab59d4-fc02-412f-9872-636667db8176@www.fastmail.com>

Hi there,

I've been working on a fun django project since summer last year, and and we're looking for either a django developer with an interest in front end and UI, or a front end developer who would like to learn a bit more django, to help us build out a new product. 

*The problem(s) you'd be solving*

We're building a product based on open data, to make public sector tending more effective, by aggregating the data in one place, and making it easily searchable, and building data products on top of it.

This might be making it possible to subscribe to new tenders published by organisations with a history of buying from small business or helping a team do cool analysis to work out the CO2 emissions you could achieve if London switched entirely to renewable power in its public procurement and so on.

*The project and codebase*
You would be working on a Django application, hosted on Heroku, that connects to a large PostgresSQL database and Elasticsearch cluster, in a small team, working mostly with one other developer, one data analyst and the founder, to deliver features, before making them available to users.


When working with the front end, you'd be extending a bootstrap based front end, using Grunt, SCSS, and where javascript is in use, mainly jQuery based plugins.


When working with charts and data visualisations, you'd be working with D3-based charts, mainly generated using Altair, a python based library for describing chats that can be rendered using D3 and Vega.


Yes, there are tests and CI, and a pipeline for shipping code behind flags, but yes, as ever, the tests run slower than we'd like them to.

You'd be working closest with the co-founder, a data analyst. and another python developer, who also codes django.

*The team - Spend Network*

Spend Network is a data analysis company dedicated to solving problems through the release of open data. We?re a small, friendly team that cares about being inclusive and doing good work. We?re open to remote working and flexible working. For instance, we'd love to work with someone who was returning to work, could only work 9-to-3, or needed a job share. We?re inquisitive, supportive and diligent.

We work with procurement data and have the largest, open database of tenders in the world (you can see some of it here: [https://openopps.com) <https://openopps.com](https://openopps.com/)>). We sell our data to businesses and Governments, but also make the data available for free to academics, journalists and activists.

*More details here:*

https://www.notion.so/Front-end-dev-job-spec-47130890c7294035862279bc5aebfffb

*Getting in touch*

Please send an email to Ian on contact at spendnetwork.com.

Thanks folks!

This list is to help UK Python users to form a community, arrange events,
advertise help or jobs wanted or sought and generally chat.
I'd say post. Adding something to make filtering simpler is always nice
though.

Subject: [python-uk] [JOBS] Python, Django, PostgreSQL in FinTech
Message-ID: <CAM+ENKHAtqbX4RPzShe6fYpPEmCgy6j8bTYP=OG34Mca_jTz5A@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I?m Pablo, CTO at Eligible <https://eligible.ai>and we are looking to hire
developers <https://eligible.ai/hiring/>. We don?t care about which set of
technologies you know, you can learn what we use on the job, what we care
about is your ability to learn quickly because next year, we are probably
all going to be learning something new.

The backend is built using *Python*, *Django*, *PostgreSQL*, *RabbitMQ
*(through
*Celery*) and we host it in *Heroku *(so, no server maintenance nightmare).
We have *Heroku pipelines* that automatically execute the tests in *Heroku?s
own C*I and then deploy to staging. A thing of beauty. The frontend using
JavaScript, ES9, React and it?s all nice and clean still using a
non-ejected create-react-app. We are even doing the layout using CSS Grid
(they are awesome! aren?t they?). On top of that we get automatic reports
on code quality from *Code Climate*, monitoring with *New Relic* and error
reporting with *Sentry *(for both backend and frontend). We strongly care
about a good tech working environment where each developer is a productive
as possible and is not dealing with artificial limitations.

We have a great full time designer so all our screens are beautifully
crafted and we get high quality assets, images, etc to build on top of. You
don?t have to tinker with Photoshop or anything, you can just ask whenever
you need a graphic asset.

We are building a tool to help mortgage brokers approach and retain
customers whose mortgage is up for renewal. We send emails, track clicks,
opens, etc (hopefully we?ll apply machine learning there at some point).
There are lots of interesting complexities in building an application that
looks simple but achieves a lot under the hood. Thankfully, we have a lot
of domain experts working every day at the office, so, you don?t have to
guess what the customer wants, you don?t have to build something you know
it?s going to fail. You can talk to our own experts, they can retrieve
information from our customers. We are not building a spec, we are building
a solution.

We are located on Canary Wharf, on the Lever 39 coworker space (in a
private office, and yes, the view is amazing from up here). Right now you?d
be the first developer after me as we are just starting to build the tech
team. Since we?d be working together, I think it?s fair for you to know who
I am: I worked for Google and for the past 9 or 10 years I?ve been
co-founding or joining startups always in charge of technology (CTO or
similar).

If this sounds interesting, drop me a message and we'll take it from there.
The position is on-site in London. In case it wasn't obvious, you'd be
talking directly to me, the CTO, not a recruiter not an agency, but the guy
who is actually writing all of the code these days.

Thanks.
