Sorry, I should have explained that you don't have to commit for the 
full week! You can do some days and not others.

So I've just had to pull out of being a mentor for Young Rewired State's 
Festival of Code (a hackathon, based around the idea of open data, for 
kids) on the 6th-12th August. Debbie from YRS tells me that they 
currently have *zero* mentors in Scotland, which means they'll probably 
have to cancel the Edinburgh and Glasgow centres.

Can any of you help? More info at http://youngrewiredstate.org/, or call 
Debbie (ping me off-list for her mobile number). If so, please sign up 
soon, for values of "soon" being roughly "today".

Please feel free to spread this more widely!

I would be interested, but given the short notice I don't think I could
commit more than a day or two. I take it would require a few mentors in
order for the event to go ahead on that basis?

Incidentally, the lack of mentors could be down to the lack of exposure.
I've never heard of the event though I know it would appeal to quite a few
people to help out.

Dunno, but it sounds plausible. Ask Debbie Wicks - 
debbie at rewiredstate.org. One of my colleagues says he can provide some 
coverage for the Edinburgh centre, so I don't think you'd be on your own.

Yeah - if I'd realised how hard-up they were for mentors I'd have 
shouted about it louder and earlier :-(

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Pub Meetup - Next Week
Message-ID: <CA+7Edn=SdxHdHW+MZdAdLZ7H_oGWpDtL3kgLdtV+haSceU1TbA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm very sorry everyone - I've dropped the ball this week, and failed to
organise the meetup. Instead of belatedly attempting to cobble it together,
I propose we move the Pub Meetup to next Tuesday (which is the last Tuesday
of the month), with all other details the same as usual.

If anyone has any strong opinions about this, feel free to mail the list,
and I'm sure we can organise something!

--Mark

Subject: [Python Edinburgh] PyCon 2013 is under way! Now accepting proposals
Message-ID: <CAD+XWwp-h213PyXnZeEiZ9buNQZz+63LJEb0+_syqoN=upaHRg@mail.gmail.com>

It was only a few months ago when we wrapped up the hugely successful
PyCon 2012, and we started working on the 2013 conference right away.
PyCon 2013 will again be in Santa Clara, California, with tutorials
kicking off March 13, the conference March 15, and sprints beginning
March 18. Along with our site release at https://us.pycon.org/2013/,
we opened our Call for Proposals a month earlier than last year at
https://us.pycon.org/2013/speaking/cfp/.

We're looking to you, the community, to help us make PyCon 2013 even
better. We're accepting proposals through September 28, hoping to
break last year's record of 519 talk, tutorial, and poster proposals.
We're looking for all types of presentations from all types of people.
If you've got a topic to share, we hope you'll submit a proposal.
Create an account at https://us.pycon.org/2013/account/signup/, and
fill in your speaker profile and submit away!

With another record submission period expected, we're also rounding up
volunteers for our Program Committee, the team tasked with evaluating
the proposals and coming up with the conference schedule. If you're
interested in volunteering, join the PyCon Program Committee mailing
list and introduce yourself at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-pc.

Without sponsors, PyCon wouldn't be possible. They're what keep the
conference prices low and values high, and we share the same deal with
our sponsorship packages. Especially after you factor in the price of
tickets that all packages include, we think our sponsorship packages
are second to none. We even have a 50% discount for small businesses!
Check out https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ for more
info.

We've also made changes in how we're doing ticketing, specifically for
early bird rates. We even cut our student ticket prices in half,
starting at $100! We'll announce more details as we get closer, but
know that ticket sales will be opening up in the fall. Be sure to plan
accordingly because we anticipate another quick sell out!

Be sure to follow us at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and
