Partially by me. A venue has been generously offered for the evening of August 20th (see below, emails from the Europython mailing list) I'm mad keen on the idea. However, I can't be present that night because I'm out of town Aug 18th to 23rd. Does anyone else feel up to leading the charge? I'd love to pass on what I know, but be warned that I know almost nothing, having gleaned the entirety of my experience of the subject from discussion and examples from Emily Bache at EuroPython last month. As I understand it, the word 'dojo' is a figurative reference to a martial arts training meetup, to improve one's skills. A coding dojo consists of a hands-on programming exercise, performed as a group. The intent is to choose a problem which is simple enough to allow participants to focus on the process of arriving at the solution, without being overly distracted by the unknowns of the problem domain or any inherent complexities of the resulting code. This makes it an ideal format to learn or hone skills such as: + choosing one design over another + test-driven development + egoless programming + evidence-driven debugging + no doubt many more The best one-page description of a coding dojo I have found to date is here: http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice/Dojo.html Your thoughts, objections, and expressions of curiosity are all much appreciated, Jonathan Jonathan Hartley wrote: > Sounds like a fantastic idea, thanks for the prod Nicholas. > > Does it make sense to migrate the discussion to the Python UK mailing > list? > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk > > I'm not well qualified to explain Dojos, but I'll give it a shot.

Also, if we're to make this work, we'll need to organise ourselves - I've been involved in this sort of thing before (LUGs and the like) and the most successful ones have had talks pre-arranged and a general "programme" for each evening (usually featured talk -> lightning talks -> pub). Perhaps we could put in a short Dojo as a preliminary "warm- up" for such meetings..? ... er, a Kata..? ;-) Comments, suggestions..? Nicholas.

Just throwing ideas up in the air. Please shoot them down. Also, I live about 20mins from BP and I know there are others close by - should this idea have wings I'd be more than happy to be a body on the ground before the event. Nicholas.

I'm sure there's many others interested not on the mailing lists. I've made a blog post, and put it on the pygame.org website. There doesn't seem to have been many mentions of pyconuk recently(only 7 results in the last week)... : http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pyconuk&hl=en&hs=VTL&tbo=1&tbs=qdr:w So it seems getting the word out is the main problem. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am 90% sure that I will attend (if it's one day trip from London). I think that the problem is that we don't have a finally schedule and I guess that lot of people is waiting for it to say "yes I go". I know that this could be the wrong approach and people going should say what they want... but sometimes is not happening this way. Also, I could talk about something that I did 2 years ago aprox. with Python and OpenOffice: http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2007/programme/thursday_111.pdf If someone is interested on it. Basically uses OpenOffice as a frontend to show some data from Mysql.

I could have offered a venue in Manchester which was essentially free at the weekend (and recently used by Drupal Camp) if anyone had spoken to me before booking and announcing the venue in Birmingham. (Struck me as a rather odd, given I'd suggested such a beast a couple of years ago before it being sidelined in favour of pycon uk which as then being organised behind closed doors, and I'd looked into venues before, and also things moved on) (I've got only intermittent connectivity since I'm on holiday and not "back" for another week) If the september unconference doesn't go ahead (as mentioned to John when he announced the date, I don't even know if I can make it because it's been arranged for the one weekend I find really awkward being the same weekend as my daughter's birthday), I'll arrange a pycamp later in the year.

I just came across a thread post where you were seeking a junior python developer. Of course this was posted in May so it's a bit old at this point but I thought that it couldn't do any harm to ask about it. I am located in the United States and recently graduated in May with a B.S. in Computer Science. I am seeking to start my career as a software developer / engineer. If this position is still available and you would be willing to bring in people from out of country I'd like to talk with you about joining your team. Otherwise, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know about any other junior positions within the Python community. I have attached me resume for your review as well.

That's why we're meeting this evening to try and work out how we can make it work (we're using the Code Dojo that was organised at EuroPython as a starting point). If you want to contribute, you know where we'll be this evening... (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/72/728/George/Temple ) All the best, Nicholas.

Sorry for the late reminder, and for the fact I've not got anything to announce about subsequent meetings. If I can get away with it, I'll blame school holidays and other assorted business. As mentioned elsewhere on the group, don't forget that Saturday 5th September is the Python Unconference, in Birmingham (http:// pyconuk.org/). Start time is 9.30am, and the planned end is 7pm. The CamPUG meeting after that should then be Tue 6th October, and should be talks...
