Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python Edinburgh Mini Conference (20th - 22nd
	May)
Message-ID: <BANLkTikMxO+RG-03b27FjopWAoRjL9nu1A@mail.gmail.com>

Python Edinburgh Mini Conference
================================

The Python Edinburgh Mini Conference is a weekend Python conference taking
place from the 20th-22nd May in the centre of Edinburgh.

The event will begin with a pub meetup in the evening, and the following two
days will centre around Django coding sprints interspersed with talks,
lightning talks, free pizza, and anything else the delegates bring
to the party!

The event is being sponsored by Skyscanner, which is hosting the event at
its fantastic offices on Waterloo Place, just around the corner from
Waverley Station.

Tickets
---------------------------
Tickets are free but since we have limited space are on a first come first
served basis. Reserve your ticket here:
http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1598590427

Pub Meetup: Friday 20th May
---------------------------
The 'unofficial' start to the conference will be a pub meetup in the centre
of the city for decent beer and vaguely python-related banter. All are
welcome!

Sprints: Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd May
------------------------------------------
The sprints are primarily aimed at working on the Django codebase, and
support
will be provided to developers not sure how to get started. The aim is to
ensure that less experienced developers are partnered with more experienced
developers, so developers of any ability should be able to take part.

If you want to come along and hack on something else in a developer-friendly
environment, you will be more than welcome.

Talks: Saturday & Sunday
------------------------
We have two speakers confirmed, and hopefully more on the way.

Lightning Talks
---------------
We encourage delegates to come along with something they'd be prepared to
talk
about for 5 minutes (or less!) Have you done something cool with Python?
What
do you know about Python that no-one else knows about? Come along and let
us know!

Further Information
---------------
Will be added here as we have it:

Dear Mark

After our discussion last night at Uncaged Monkeys, it occurred to me, this morning, the last Tuesday this month is the 31st, ie two weeks on Tuesday, rather then the Tuesday after the Python weekend.

Hey Douglas,

Sorry about this - I got to the list too late - after Dougal had
approved your email. I don't think I can remove messages from the list
archive once they're posted (and I obviously can't recall email, much
as I occasionally would like to... ;-)

Thanks for the update, though - a week's breathing room from Python
would be nice!

Hi All,

I've been labouring under the mistaken idea that the next pub meetup was
next week. According to our usual schedule (fourth Tuesday every month), it
should be tomorrow, but I've decided to move it to next week to give it some
distance from the conference we hosted at the weekend. Please complain on
the mailing list if you think this is a bad idea.

When I get a chance, I'll mail round a write-up of how the conference went
for those who couldn't attend. The consensus was that it was a pretty big
success, so hopefully we'll be doing something similar, bigger and better
next year!

Hopefully see you all at the next pub meetup on *Tuesday the 31st May*, in
just over a week...

Hi all,

Thanks very much Mark, Dougal and all those that contributed, for organising a fully awesome conference. I enjoyed my day there a lot, and sorry I couldn't attend Sunday, but I had my Mum's birthday lunch to go to...

Cheers, Ed.

Ed,

Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did and hopefully you were able to take something away from the weekend.

My main take-away is a new nemesis (http://django.me/t15117) ;)

Hello All!

I shall be sitting in Berts Bar[1] from around 6pm tomorrow evening
for the monthly Pub Meetup. Care to join me for a beer and some
Python-related banter?

The plan, as usual, is to eat in Berts and then head across the road
to Teuchters at around 7 - 7:30pm.

Let me know if you plan to come and I'll book a table of approximately
the correct size.

Hi All,

I just discovered we have 47 list subscribers! But it looks like
attendance of the pub meetup is going to be around 4-5 this month,
which I think is the third month in a row that attendance is a bit
short.

I want to find out what you think, so I've put a 2 QUESTION survey up
here: http://goo.gl/44JOf

It should take 30 seconds. Click click click click done. Then we can
work out if something needs to be done about it!

Many thanks - your input is much appreciated!
