If you are you a developer planning on or already working with researchers, or are you a researcher who develops own software, then come to the Software Sustainability Institute's Collaboration Workshop 21-22 March 2013 at Merton College in Oxford. Software Sustainability Collaborations Workshop 2013 ============================== 21-22 March 2013, Merton College, Oxford The Software Sustainability Institute is running its annual Collaborations Workshop (CW13) at Merton College, Oxford. This workshop brings together researchers, software developers, managers, funders and more to explore ideas in software pertinent to their research and exploit any synergies that may lead to interdisciplinary collaborations. Last year's workshop (CW12), also held in Oxford, was attended by researchers, developers, managers, funders and some independent developers was a great success. An article on the workshop can be found in the Ariadne magazine: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue68/cw12-rpt This workshop will give you an opportunity to meet and network with fellow researchers, learn more about the Software Sustainability Institute and how they may be of help to make you more productive in your research. It will give you an opportunity to network with other researchers and developers that may lead to new collaborations being established. Amongst the attendees will be some of the new Institute Fellows: http://www.software.ac.uk/fellowship-programme/fellow-profiles.

Python Group - Thurs 14 March - Coding Session Message-ID: == West Yorkshire Python User Group Meeting - Thurs. 14 March == = Coding Session - Porting Restish to Python 3 = This month we have decided to do some good for the world, by porting Matt Goodall's web framework Restish to Python 3. Matt is a member of the group, so we'll have all the context we could hope for. You can find the source for Restish here[1] and the early work on porting it to Python 3 here[2]. Don't worry if you're new to Python 3 (a lot of us are), or even to Python, we'll muddle through and figure it out! You should probably bring a laptop with Python 2.6 or higher and Python 3.3 installed if you have one available. [1] https://github.com/ish/restish [2] https://github.com/warsaw/restish/tree/py33 = Date and Time = Thursday 14 March, from 6:30pm. We're starting earlier this month to give us a little more time. Don't worry about turning up after the start, it's fully expected that some people will be later. = Location = We will be meeting at the offices of The Test People: Floor 3 Albion Court Albion Place Leeds West Yorkshire, LS1 6JL You will need to call Peter on 07763570860 for access, as we can't hear the buzzer at the door. = About the Group = The West Yorkshire Python User Group (WYPy) have been meeting monthly since 2007. Our meetings are free, and usually include at least one talk, as well as a trip to the pub. Our website is at http://wypy.org.uk . We discuss our meetings on the Python Yorkshire and Humberside Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/python-yorks-humber/ and you can also follow us on Twitter at @WYPython.

That's the 25th this month. Then next month we are going be moving to the second Tuesday and to kick it off we will start with running our first dojo! Twig have kindly offered to host us in their office and will be providing some pizza and beer. Their offices are fairly central, a few minutes walk from Charing Cross. Also, by the way, Twig are hiring: https://gist.github.com/aaronbassett/4768919 For those of you that don't know, a dojo is a fun coding event where we split into teams and hack on a problem for about 90 minutes. The focus is on getting something working and making progress rather than on code quality, so feel free to take on the problem any way you wish! Then at the end we will share what we found. It's great fun and great for learning too. All levels of Python are welcome as you can contribute to your team with ideas and discussion. We will be following the format of the London Python Dojo - to read more about what to expect look here: http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo Tickets are available now at https://pythonglasgow.eventwax.com/dojo-april-2013 I'm really looking forward to it and hoping to see you there!

The Workstation is located opposite Sheffield train station and behind the Showroom cinema: http://www.showroomworkstation.org.uk/location/ This month is a coding session on dealing with legacy code. I've obtained an example of messy legacy Python code with no tests, so we're going to spend the two hours working in pairs to firstly understand what this code is actually doing, then safely refactor it to something cleaner whilst adding tests. Bring along a laptop with Python installed, either Python 2 or Python 3. No registration is required for this event and attendance is free. We're always looking for future speakers, so if you'd like to talk on anything Python-related and fancy a trip over to Sheffield, please get in touch.
