Hi Tony,

I can make this after all.  Are there any speaking slots to be filled?

Peter.

I haven't yet had any explicit volunteers (people don't always), so you're very welcome to talk!

Subject: [python-uk] Hackathon for Disaster Response
Message-ID: <6D02156E-5E7D-4F5A-A2C1-2F79D6781A90@gmail.com>

Please join us for the Hackthon for Disaster Response - 21-23 September in Birmingham.
The hackathon includes projects involving python, linked data and semantic technologies.

-------
As witnessed during recent disasters such as the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, social media and Web 2.0 technologies?as well as the expanding availability of publicly available structured data?are beginning to dramatically affect all aspects of disaster management. Such technologies permit communication and coordination in ways that were not possible even a few years ago.  Geographically dispersed volunteers now participate in large-scale online collective activities. Official organizations have new channels through which to interact with the public, and they have access to new (and large-scale) providers of both information and services.

Aston University and the University of Warwick are happy to announce the Hackathon for Disaster Response, a 2-day event to bring together software developers and emergency management experts to hack out solutions to disaster-related problems. We will focus specifically on data available via social media, and on structured data (open data, linked data) available from a variety of sources. This event is sponsored as part of the Disaster 2.0 project

Hi everyone,

The monthly Django pub meetup will be running on Tuesday 18th of
September at Counting House this time. We have a function room booked.
Details are here
http://www.meetup.com/The-London-Django-Meetup-Group/events/82548312/.

Pycon UK is just round the corner so it would be great to chance catch
up before the event. We'll also have A/V equipment in order to host
some lightning talks. If anyone is interested in giving a short 5
minute talk please email me or Kevin, also make sure you make the
slides available before 7pm. Talks would preferably be short and
light. Some ideas are: apps you found useful, tips/techniques that you
use in your Django/Python development, interesting/useful web
services.

We have the venue booked from 6pm and we'll be starting the talks at 7pm.

Will look forward to meet everyone!

Regards,
James

I'd like to, but I can't generally do Tuesdays. Can you put me down

Subject: [python-uk] PyCon 2013 Ticket Sales Have Begun!
Message-ID: <mailman.12.1348176246.27094.python-uk@python.org>

Hi UK Python Users!

The PyCon organizers are happy to announce that ticket sales for the March 2013 conference have opened at https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/ ! Early bird rates are available for the first 1000 purchases, which is a departure from previous time-based systems. With PyCon 2012 having been a quick sell out, we're expecting this one to be the same. Keep in mind that attendance is strictly limited to 2500.

PyCon 2013 is going back to Santa Clara, CA before heading up north for two years in Montreal, Quebec for 2014-15. The event starts with two days of tutorials on March 13, followed by three days of talks starting March 15, and ends with four days of sprints starting March 18.

Individual and corporate ticket prices remain the same as they have been for the last few years, with early bird rates of $300 and $450 respectively. The regular rates of $350 and $600 for individual and corporate are still an incredible deal.

For 2013 we've reduced the cost to students by 50%, bringing the early bird rate to $100 with a regular rate of $125. Providing a more affordable conference experience for students is a priority for the organizers and the Python Software Foundation, and we're hoping the decrease helps bring more of them out.

We've also increased our financial aid program, and hope to assist more attendees for PyCon 2013! You can apply for financial aid through the new consolidated form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dGt4Z0dsY052VERJem4xUUFVQW9uQVE6MQ

We're still accepting proposals for talks and tutorials, with a deadline of September 28. Poster proposals are accepted through January 15, 2013. For more information, see https://us.pycon.org/2013/speaking/cfp/

If your company is interested in sponsorship, we need you. Sponsors are what make PyCon a possibility, and sponsorship offers some great values to the generous organizations who support the conference. Check out https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ to find out what you get out of sponsorship, with a prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/prospectus/. Contact Jesse Noller at jnoller at python.org with any sponsorship inquiries.

Hello,

I'm a software developer at ApplianSys Ltd in Coventry and this is a
quick email to tell you that we are looking for at least two
Python programmers to join our development team ASAP.

Location: Coventry, UK.

Salary: We are looking for both junior and senior candidates so salary
        will be based on your skills and experience.

ApplianSys is a fast growing UK based company, selling a range of
network server appliances worldwide.
The product range includes DNS/DHCP/IPAM ("DDI"), web cache and VoIP
acceleration products.
All the products run on a Linux operating system with a Python based
web interface and various Python based backend systems.

ApplianSys is a fun place to work. The work is interesting and varied
and because we are a small team, you will have a significant influence
on the direction of the products and opportunities to work closely
with other parts of the business and with customers.
We all use Linux on our development workstations and we code primarily
in Python, but use JavaScript, shell scripts, C and more.

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate some or all the
following skills:
 * Sound working knowledge of Python, or be able to demonstrate the
   generic skills to learn Python quickly.
 * Fluent with *nix (Linux), including configuring and building
   packages from source and writing shell scripts.
 * Experienced with networking infrastructure technologies and
   protocols, and familiarity with command line network diagnostic
   tools.
 * Solid web development skills, including HTML, JavaScript, CSS.

For senior developers, your levels of knowledge and expertise should
be deeper than those indicated above.

Don't be shy if you don't fit the bill exactly. No one does. Most of
all, we are looking for enthusiastic people who learn quickly.

If you're interested, please email your CV and covering letter to
recruitment at appliansys.com.

If we like the look of you, we'll arrange a preliminary telephone
interview followed by a technical interview in Coventry.
During the interview you will be asked to do some Python programming,
database design work and we will ask you some networking questions to
assess the depth of your knowledge.
Be prepared to talk about and demonstrate some of the things you put
in your CV!

We look forward to hearing from you and don't hesitate to contact me
directly if you want to discuss things informally.

-RichardW.
