I've only this website as reference http://python-fosdem.org/ and for example I would be interested in giving a ligthing talk but this format is not mentioned at all in the call for paper page.

Help teachers. Get a micro:bit. 4pm-ish Wednesday 9th December at the BCS in London. This is an opportunity for you to positively affect and contribute to how Python is taught in London's schools. Where London leads the rest of the UK often follows (in terms of teaching). Computing at School (CAS) are to IT teachers as the PSF are to Pythonistas. I've been working with them as part of the micro:bit project in order to get teachers up to speed with MicroPython etc. Next Wednesday (9th December) about half a dozen of London's CAS master teachers (basically, the most experienced teachers, leaders, movers and shakers) will be at the BCS off the Strand (from 4pm onwards) with a view to exploring and creating resources for MicroPython on the micro:bit. We need an equivalent number of Python developers to attend to partner up, help out, answer questions and have fun with micro:bits. We want the outcome to be lesson plans, code and a positive vibe. I realise people may only be able to get post-work (5pm). I can hold the fort from 4pm giving a quick run-down of MicroPython. I think I should be able to wangle it so that those developers who attend will be able to get their hands on (and keep for an extended period of time) a micro:bit for testing / development purposes. So, if you'd like to play with a micro:bit, this is how you get one. They're very cool and people have lots of fun with them: https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython/tree/neopixel Of course, this is an important collaboration. If there was ever a time to "be arsed" about something - this is it in terms of the amount of potential change and positive impact for Python vs. actual effort you have to put in. I'm always happy to answer questions, hear constructive critique and have ideas suggested. Best wishes, Nicholas. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Until January 22nd (when I get on the plane) I'm offering discounts on training courses and giving half of the proceeds to the travel fund for PyCon Namibia to help get people there (this will I believe mostly be going to speakers and/or people from other African countries, but I'm not specifically earmarking and leaving that up to the judgement of the organisers).

Ben says "It's got some really interesting concepts in the codebase I'd love to dive in to and explain. Some of the cleverest features have been implemented by a friend from Manchester, Dave Jones, who maintains the picamera library. He's done some brilliant work." Ben is the Education Developer Advocate at the Raspberry Pi Foundation (does anyone on this mailing list need to be told that?). If we have time after that, I'd like to ask people to Bring a Question - something that you could do with some help with, or an idea about how to approach, or just something you wonder about Python. We can then try, as a group, to figure out answers. This meeting will be held at the Department of Engineering (the map at http://map.cam.ac.uk/Department+of+Engineering#52.198333,0.120971,18 may be useful). This allows us to be flexible on numbers - it there aren't very many people, we can use a smaller room, and if we get a lot of RSVPs, we can scale up. There will not, however, be food provided - not because of the venue, but just because of it being near the New Year. Meetings after that will be: ? Tuesday 2nd February 2016 - Deep Learning with Python ? Tuesday 1st March 2016 - to be determined ? Tuesday 5th April 2016 - to be determined Please note that we are also now on meetup.com, at http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/. If possible, please RSVP there for meetings so we have an idea of numbers. As an incentive, there's much more detail about each meeting there.
