Hi all!

In the last 48 hours both of our confirmed speakers for Monday have asked to cancel.

Does anyone have a talk they'd like to present on Monday (7 Nov), and save the day?! There should be a good turnout according to the Meetup page numbers!

Cheers,
    Ed

I have recently read a short book, of good general interest to Python
programmers.

I could present essentially by talking about its content.

    How to Make Mistakes in Python
    book by Mike Pirnat
    presented by Ben Finney

Thanks Ben! Whew!

IF no one else has a talk to volunteer, I'll do a "live hacking" of putting
up a package on PyPI *and* conda-forge. This is not a live demo, but a live
*hack*, meaning I won't have something prepared. We'll figure it out
together. It's my second time doing this, so at least I know I *can* do it.
Could be potentially instructive. =)

I hope to see you all soon!

Hi everyone!

Good news :-) ... One of our cancelled speakers has now come back with a generous offer to give his talk anyway (in slightly abbreviated form). Even better, we now also have three other inspired souls who have volunteered to give short talks (about 10-15 minutes each). So it should be a lively night!

The program is:

	? Brad Nguyen: Applying Data Science to build MVP products for artwork recommendation
	? Ben Finney: How to Make Mistakes in Python: book review 
	? Robert Layton: New features and gotchas in Pandas v0.19 
	? Kristine Howard: Lightning talk: Ways to encode data in knitting

When: 5.45pm for 6pm, Monday 7th November

Where: VLSCI Seminar Room, Ground Floor, 700 Swanston Street, Carlton

How to get there: Take a tram 5-10 mins north from Melbourne Central station.

Dinner afterwards: pizza, or maybe dinner & drinks on Lygon

I'll be overseas until Friday, so I'll unfortunately miss the event, but Sam will host the night and introduce the speakers.

Have a great night! :-)

Cheers,
    Ed

For those who enjoyed the presentation, ?How to Make Mistakes in Python?
<URL:http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/how-to-make-mistakes-in-python.csp>
by Mike Pirnat is worth getting from O'Reilly Press.

It is one of a large number of short-form books they make available at
no charge, only the cost of registering on their site.

Message-ID: <a004383c-43ca-e004-cb14-e3fe8f952c56@jump.careers>

Hello everybody,

Not long ago, we posted here for a back end developer. Jason has joined 
us, and now... we are seeking an experienced developer to add to our 
team. Currently, we are more than two-thirds complete in building our 
career and education planning web platform. We looking for an 
experienced developer in the Melbourne-region who has worked on past 
Python web application projects, and also willing to be a co-founder.

Some info about what we do... our platform matches users looking for 
study opportunities or jobs with education providers, recruiters, and 
role models. Our technology uses algorithms to plan out potential career 
paths for our users. Our concept is already validated by partnerships 
with education providers locally and abroad, including Deakin 
University, Navitas, and The University of California - Irvine.

On the back end, you will be working with Jason, and Bianca, who's 
currently in Brazil. We're particularly interested in people keen on 
collaboration, providing quick feedback and code reviews to other 
teammates, and giving suggestions and guidance. We're also currently 
developing an algorithm for our career planning platform, so if you have 
an interest in algorithms, data science, and machine learning, that 
would be a plus. If you are interested, send me your resume.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Tan

 Events

Hi all,

PyCon AU 2017 will run from August 3-8, 2017, in Melbourne! Woohoo!

We are calling for expressions of interest in running special events.
(Also, since the original tweet went out on 8 November, we have updated the
PDF to provide some more clarity.)

Types of events that could be included (other ideas are welcome!):
  -- Up to 4 Specialist Day tracks held on Friday 4 August (e.g. DjangoCon
AU, Python in Education seminar)
  -- Workshops running in parallel with the sprints (e.g. DjangoGirls,
Young Coders)
  -- Associated events run independently, but taking advantage of the
presence of a large contingent of Pythonistas in Melbourne (e.g. Software
Carpentry workshops)
  -- Icebreaker events for the opening evening or other social events

For more information grab our Call for Special Events document:
http://2017.pycon-au.org/special-events-2017.pdf.

You have until the 3rd of December to get your submissions in. If you have
an idea, we'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us at
contact at pycon?au.org to make your submission or if you have any questions.

Also, please feel free to (aka please please please) re-post this in other
mailing lists :)

Thanks all! :)

Regards,

Tennessee Leeuwenburg

Hi everyone!

We are looking forward to the next monthly Python meeting on Monday evening.

The main presentation will be given by Linus Chang, a veteran tech entrepreneur in Melbourne. He will be demonstrating the Scram encrypted filesystem (written in Python) for his new Melbourne-based startup, Scram Software, including a demo of real-time streaming video decryption. He will also describe the journey he has gone through with Python in addition to the actual crypto experience -- topics such as Cythonising code to create redistributable objects, code obfuscation, continuous builds, and PyQt.

We still have time for another short talk (20 minutes) and a couple of lightning talks. If you would like to give a talk, please email me or the mailing list.

When: 5.45pm for 6pm, Monday 5th December

Where: VLSCI Seminar Room, Ground Floor, 700 Swanston Street, Carlton

How to get there: Take a tram 5-10 mins north from Melbourne Central station.

Dinner afterwards: pizza, or maybe dinner & drinks on Lygon

We look forward to seeing you there for a great night! :-)

Cheers,
    Ed
