	week?
Message-ID: <aa0dfd860705030720v3479890dk4a6bb19e0fdffb06@mail.gmail.com>

As you may or may not know, there's going to be a sprint on the Bazaar
version control system in London in the week 14-18 May:

http://bazaar-vcs.org/SprintLondonMay07

Is there any interest in a talk on Bazaar amongst the London-based
Python types?  If that's too much effort, we should at least all meet
up and drink some beer together.

Cheers,
mwh

Great news, Mr Grazebrook. I couldn't actually find
any meaningful attachments in your email (despite ploughing
through the 3 levels of nested attachments which Thunderbird
offered me!) so either it was *just* the green light, or
you're going to have to send a separate plain email with
dates / times etc. if they're available.

For those who haven't followed the plot so far, a very
brief summary: Michael Grazebrook, Pete Ryland and I went
to the IET (http://www.theiet.org/) a few weeks back to
suss the place out and talk to their London organizer.

The idea mooted was an introductory Python session there
at one of their evenings (probably in parallel with
something else which would basically pay for the use of
the place). Depending on the take-up for that, there's
scope for possible workshops, more talks etc.

It's a fantastic building, one of those impressive
things along the Embankment, next to Waterloo Bridge,
and has loads of space for event formal and informal.
Don't know yet what kind of arrangement might be made,
but at the very least I'd like to see this as the first
of some more structured London Python meetups maybe with
demos, guest-speakers, etc., firmly allied to the
informal London Python drinkups :)

	the Web
Message-ID: <463B9EC5.2060605@voidspace.org.uk>

Hello all,

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I thought it would be the sort of 
thing that interests people like us. :-)

http://www.terryburton.co.uk/blog/2007/05/sign-my-petition.html
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Free-TV-listings/

Currently anyone publishing television listings in the UK is required by 
law under Schedule 17 of the Broadcasting Act 1990 to pay a royalty, 
which BDS (Broadcasting Data Services) collects on behalf of the 
broadcasters.

By releasing television schedule details into the public domain many web 
sites will be able to integrate this information into their content, 
creating a tighter convergence between the web and television which will 
benefit advertisers, broadcasters, webmasters and importantly, the 
consuming public.

And my motivation for creating it is explained in this extract from a 
mailing list post:

There are several voluntary projects that wish to combine a database
of extensive program information with an XML feed of the non-free
official channel listings to create an uberfeed that can be used to
schedule recordings, etc. Unfortunately they are prohibited from doing
so.

Interestingly, the radiotimes website has free (computer-parsable)
information available at xmltv.radiotimes.com.  BBC3, for example, is
available here:

http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/45.dat

I wrote a program to convert this to actual xmltv format, which is here:

I'm reposting this, as following a change of isp, the list server
bounced my original mail, but took a week to do it...

Hello All,

Last week we issued the official call for papers here:

http://www.pyconuk.org/submit.html

PyCon UK is the first UK Python community conference and takes place in
Birmingham on the weekend of 8th-9th September 2007.

PyCon UK has generated lots of interest and already we have some
fantastic talks and tutorials planned, so please book your place now at
the extra early bird rate of ?50 (includes conference dinner). This
extra low rate only applies until 19th May, so get it while you can!

Please help make this conference by submitting your talks as soon as you
can: the closing date is July 14th, but the sooner you do it the easier
it is for us to plan.

Best wishes,

John

Likewise, I'd be very interested in either.  Has anyone planned
anything so far?  I know it's short notice, but perhaps we could
arrange a GLLUG talk at Westminster Uni on bzr?

Nothing has been planned.  We (the sprinters) are committed on
Thursday and tonight seems excessively short notice, but how about
tomorrow or Friday?

Tideway Systems Ltd is looking to hire experienced Python developers for
our office in Chelsea, London.

 

Tideway is a leading provider of application dependency mapping
solutions - that is marketing-speak for saying that our software
explores large enterprise networks and maps both the hardware and the
software running on it.

 

Most of our software is written in Python, with a smattering of C++ and
Java.  We are looking for software engineers with Python experience, and
ideally experience of agile development, web technologies and CORBA.
Experience of both Windows and UNIX would also be an advantage.  We are
also looking for user interface developers with experience of using web
technologies in a Python environment.

 

For full details see our website http://www.tideway.com/company/careers.
Email your CV to careers at tideway.com and tell them I sent you, or send
me your CV and I will pass it on.

Hi,

First of all, apologies for the cross-posting.

As we are blessed with the presence of a number of bazaar developers
in London this week, it seems fitting that we celebrate their work and
welcome them to London with a few pints with the UK Python community
and the Greater London Linux User Group.  I'm sure there'll be no
shortage of discussion to be had.

The pub I have in mind to meet at is the Hamilton Hall[1], just
outside Liverpool Street Station in the City.  It's a big pub and if
the weather is good, we can meet outside.  Depending on numbers, we
can then move on to another pub and/or a meal in Brick Lane, renowned
for it's subcontinental-style curries.

The proposed timing will be Friday 18 May at 8pm, that's *this*
Friday!  Feel free to come earlier, but it may be a little crowded
with city workers on their way home.  If you need directions or can't
find the group, please call me on 07757315087.

See you there!

Pete

The plan, as I understand it at present, is indeed for us to meet up
somewhere on Friday night.  For venues, I suggested somewhere in the
square mile area on they theory that they tend to be large and
everyone who drinks there buggers off home nice and early on Fridays
and leaves space for us.  Plus, it's close to Brick Lane...

I don't know enough to actually name somewhere though, I was hoping
Pete would be able to that...

Cheers,
mwh
