[Microbit-Python] PyCon UK zbit:connect proposal

[Nevil Hunt]

Thanks Nicholas,


I suspect you are right that they are probably snowed under.


Hopefully they can find me some space and if so I look forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks!


Nevil

Hi Nevil,

I'm sorry to hear PyCon UK have not got back to you. I was one of the
organisers last year and so I know those running this year's conference.
I know from experience that volunteer led conferences are logistical
nightmares that take up a huge amount of personal time and effort and I
can only but surmise that they're a bit snowed under.

I'll ping some of the people I know and hopefully you'll get some sort
of a response soon.

I look forward to catching up at PyCon UK!
