It's first time to post here, and hope you don't mind advertising an hack day event. I am organising a satellite event for hack4japan hackathon on 22nd May This is a UK satellite event of hack4japan which is held in several cities in Japan including disaster affected areas such as Miyagi and Fukushima. One of the open source disaster management tools we are currently planning to deploy to Japan is developed in Python, so we would appreciate a lot for some pythonista participations. Please register at lanyrd if you are interested to join. http://lanyrd.com/2011/hack4jp-uk-may The venue is not finalised but tentatively set at New Bamboo (http:// new-bamboo.co.uk). It's 10 min walk from Farrington station. Here is the bit more detail about the event. https://gist.github.com/963717 Thank you and regards, Makoto -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of the moderators (Andy R?) suggested that he would keep an eye on posts and would be willing to moderate in the face of apparent abuse of the list. With Rene, I see no issue with focused UK Python jobs on this list.

I know a lot of people hate Recruitment Agencies and see us as a waste of space? however I would like to stick my neck out, considering I have (un-intentionally) started this discussion. I read and took note of the last correspondence on the mailing list, which is why I now put my jobs on the jobs forum at http://www.python.org/community/jobs/ rather than in the mailing list. However, this morning I sent it to the wrong email and it came to the mailing list, which has revived the discussions. I appreciate you must get sick and tired of spamming, un-related job emails and job emails that don?t contain relevant information (i.e. location / salary / details). Which is why I try to include all the relevant information I can within the job description, that way you can make an informed decision on whether the position is right for you or not. I appreciate wading through masses of emails are no fun for anyone. However I also think, IMHO, that there should be somewhere were well-targeted, informed jobs can be posted so you all know what is going on in the market and what roles are available if you are looking for a new adventure. I hope you don?t mind me adding my two-pennies worth and I hope this comes across in the friendly manner it is meant. Hope you all have a good Tuesday.

Ah, right -- that rings a bell, sounds sensible. So Sally's email was actually fine, even if she sent it here accidentally. > Go on Giles, tell us about your job! Heh, am I that transparent? ;-) So: Resolver are hiring, we're looking for a junior/mid-level developer to work mostly on PythonAnywhere, our new online Python IDE/console environment (). The role's in London, near Farringdon tube. Everyone works on every bit of the system, and we do XP/pair programming, so training/ramping up is generally very fast, and there's loads of knowledge transfer all the time. The stack is Linux/Python/Django/Apache/Tornado/JavaScript, with most of the fun stuff happening in Python but some interesting JS too. We're using git for the VCS and Selenium (driven by Python) for functional testing, which we do a lot of. Deployment uses Fabric and Boto to drive Amazon EC2. No prior knowledge of any of the toolchain is required, though: we find that people pick it up pretty quickly (thanks to the pair programming). We're currently seeking another round of angel funding, and it's looking positive, but if you need a role with total stability/safety then it's probably not for you. OTOH we are offering a share options package, so there's a good upside potential. Some more details here: Drop me a line off-list if you're interested!

I know there has been some discussion about if job offers are available in this distribution list or not. Hope is relevant for everyone. There are currently two available positions in the development team, a lead Flash developer and a senior Python developer. The links are the official job descriptions, but I would like to tell a bit more about the tools we use everyday and the company, and about my experience working here. First of all, basic info about the company. *Jolt Online Gaming* is a games company based in Dublin, Ireland. Specifically, online free-to-play games, with social elements on them. Our latest releases are Playboy Party (in Facebook) and Utopia Kingdoms (available in Facebook and Kongregate ). We are just about to release a new football management game, Championship Manager on Facebook. On the technical side of things, we try to find the right tool for each problem, so a lot of innovation is not only expected, but encouraged. We build our systems thinking of millions of players, which is always challenging. Scalability and performance are always important when making choices. Learning new things and being up-to-date is important. Some of the cool technologies and tools that we currently are using are: - *Languages*: Recently, the focus is mainly *Python* for backend and Flash (*ActionScript*) for frontend, but there are also develops in Ruby, JavaScript and other languages. - *Frameworks*: Several Python ones, including *Pylons, CherryPy, Django* and *web.py*. In the past we have used also Ruby on Rails. - *Databases*: *NoSQL databases* like MongoDB and Cassandra are being more and more important, but we also make good use of *MySQL* when fits. - *Amazon services*: Our infrastructure is based on *Linux* servers living in Amazon cloud services, making extensive use of *Ec2*, *S3* and others. - *DVCS*: We use *git* in all our projects. Another important detail about my work here, is that I am able to see almost immediately that a change on the code is reflected in the gameplay of thousands. It's good (and sometimes a little scary) to know that lots of people are using the software you're developing, and they are having fun with it. About the experience working here, I have to say that is absolutely fantastic. Not only do we work making games, but, of course, we love to play them. We often play boardgames and console games in the office, and we have a great time together. It's hard to imagine a nicer and friendlier place to work. I also learn something new everyday from my coworkers. A great environment of cooperation, with lots of freedom to do the things your way. The developers work closely with game designers and artists, which is also rewarding and leads to better understanding of the needs of the final game.

Message-ID: <1306149646.4862.4.camel@ntoll-ubuntu> Hi Folks, This is just the monthly announcement of details for the next London Python Code Dojo. Details and sign-up here: https://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/london-python-code-dojo-season-2-episode-10-wormcon In this dojo we?re not going to do the usual practical work. Instead we?ve organised 5 speakers to give talks of varying lengths. We?re calling this ?Wormcon? ? it?s just like Pycon but smaller. Here?s details of the talks (in no particular order): * John Chandler ? how I used Python and the DOT graphing DSL to visualise a nasty legacy PHP codebase. * Michael Foord ? Recent work on mock/unittest. Michael can?t make Europython so this talk will be based upon the material he would have presented in Florence. * Dr Tim Couper ? a lightning talk on Strengthsfinder. * Robert Rees ? a description of a real world project that uses a Python wrapper sitting on top of Neo4J. * Guy Burton ? the Airplay SDK, and a description of early stage work on creating a Python wrapper (so people can get Python projects running on mobile devices). The speakers understand that this is a dojo ? so people will want to code along, ask questions, point out problems and generally interact with the speaker during their presentations. Think of it more in the style of a seminar rather than lecture. Pizza and beer start at 6:30pm and talks will start at 7-7:30ish. We aim to finish 10ish. Free pizza and beer will be provided. (Thanks Fry-IT) All the best, Nicholas.
