See you there! Event details available on our G+ community event page (also repeated below): https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c4nbvfsrgmak7in7uc59gbgm2s0?authkey=CML9zvyO3s2YIw Date/Time: Today 6pm Location: Australian National University John Dedman Building G35 (the Neumann Room) Come join us for a discussion on Continuous Integration. We have two presentations currently lined up, the first will be John Weng talking about writing Webdriver tests in python for building a suite of web acceptance tests (and also a set of nagios production heartbeat tests). The second presentation will be Gavin Jackson talking about using Jenkins for continuous integration (including build, unit test execution, acceptance test execution via Webdriver, Mercurial integration and remote deployment challenges). Please come and share your CI experiences with the group (particularly if you have experience with Buildbot and Cruise Control!).

The Science & Data miniconf is a one day conference held on Friday, August 1, 2014 in Brisbane as part of PyCon Australia: http://2014.pycon-au.org/ The miniconf is dedicated to talks related to science and data analysis and, as a community conference, we are keen to hear from people in the community who would like to present a paper related to science or data analysis using Python. We welcome proposals of all kinds, from all kinds of speakers: first-time through to experienced speakers. There will be short (20 - 25 minute) talks as well as longer 45 minute talks and 5 minute lightning talks (which you don't have to register a proposal for). Presentation subjects may cover applications of science, engineering, mathematics, finance, and data analysis using Python, including AI and 'big data' topics, either academic or commercial. Formats may be either tutorials or case studies. The deadline for proposals is June 20, 2014. If you have friends or colleagues who have something valuable to contribute, twist their arms to tell us about it! Please also forward this Call for Proposals to anyone that you feel may be interested. To submit your talk proposal, please use the submission form at: http://science.pycon-au.org/ See you in Brisbane in August!

Message-ID: <539407D4.6030607@eastman.net.nz> Good evening all and sundry, Today marks the home stretch for the Kiwi PyCon 2014 Call for Proposals. The CfP closes this coming Sunday, which leaves you seven days to present your ideas for talks at the website: http://kiwi.pycon.org We have some great proposals in, and we want a whole lot more. If you've been working on a thing in Python that has you excited, something you've been enjoying telling people about, why not send it in? If you have a message you need to impart, about a system, about a library, about things you see people doing right (or wrong!), why not share it? The CfP closes this Sunday, the conference is being held on the 12-14th of September, it's going to be fantastic, and your talk will make it even more so :-) We look forward to hearing from you!

Message-ID: PyCon Australia is very proud to be able to reveal our programme for the 2014 conference, to be held on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August 2014, following our Miniconfs on Friday 1 August. Following a record-breaking response to our Call for Proposals, the conference will feature three full tracks of presentations, across two days, covering all aspects of the Python ecosystem, presented by experts and core developers of key Python technology. Our presenters cover a broad range of backgrounds, including industry, research, government and academia. PyCon Australia is a great place to keep up-to-date with the latest trends in Python web technology: Django lead developer, Simon Willison will be presenting "A new default web stack". We have many experts in their fields, including CPython core developer, and Brisbane local, Nick Coghlan who will present some "elegant and ugly hacks in CPython". As well as DjangoCon AU and the OpenStack miniconf, the main conference will feature talks on testing, deployment, and optimisation of Python-based web apps. For the first time this year we're also having a miniconf dedicated to talks on using Python in the Sciences. This year, talks on growing the Python Community make up a large amount of our programme, with "The Curse of the Django Podcast" by Elena Williams exploring the role of community-driven media, and Anna Gerber's "PyBots! or how to learn to stop worrying and love coding" covering approaches to Python in education. We've also made sure that beginners, or people looking to brush up on their Python skillset, have a clear path through the conference. Starting with Peter Lovett's "Python 101+" tutorial, you can rapidly enhance your knowledge of Python, and then you can attend our general stream talks to glean a snapshot of the state of the art in Python. The full schedule for PyCon Australia 2014 can be found at http://2014.pycon-au.org/programme/schedule Registrations for PyCon Australia 2014 are now open, with prices starting at AU$50 for students, and tickets for the general public starting at AU$220. All prices include GST, and more information can be found at http://2014.pycon-au.org/register/prices We're looking forward to seeing this excellent programme brought to life at PyCon Australia 2014, in Brisbane, this August. === About PyCon Australia === PyCon Australia is the national conference for the Python Programming Community.
