Subject: [python-uk] Thursday evening's Dojo - PYGAME ZERO (not to be missed)
Message-ID: <556C2C93.7040404@ntoll.org>

Hi Folks,

We only have six tickets left for Thursday's dojo at Fry-IT (details
here:
https://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/london-python-code-dojo-season-6-episode-10).

This month is not to be missed. Our very own Dan Pope (intergalactic
champion of Pythonic game making) has created a new module called PyGame
Zero. It's a version of Pygame for kids and teachers but written in such
a way that it's easy to get going but also simple to "look behind the
curtain" to get to the more advanced stuff.

We've invited Dan to introduce the module after which we're going to use
it as the basis for coding something fun and educational.

If you're coming along (or if you're just curious and can't make it),
all the information you need to install it can be found here (it's
Python 3 only):

https://pygame-zero.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

We'll stick our code on GitHub and point the RaspberryPi Foundation at it.

Looking forward to it!

Nicholas.

Hi Folks,

In case you've not heard, two UK based Pythonistas have been elected as
directors of the Python Software Foundation board.

Congratulations to and celebrations for Naomi Ceder and Carrie Anne
Philbin.

It's also rather wonderful that 7 of the 12 directors are women.

Just thought people would want to know.

11, I believe, to make tied votes less likely. But I echo your sentiments entirely on both points.

Aha... I got confused by the, "In short we had 12 people win (by vote
count)" - and should have remembered the bit about the tie.

My mistake. I should actually read *and understand* my bloody email. ;-)

I don't see how having 11 positions makes ties less likely. In this case 
it *caused* the tie :-)

 still have a little time...
Message-ID: <CAM6oqK--eyOekN_8ayeSKQzY-_DRZcgGJAyshpeoWBk28nKv2w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all!

If you, or your company, is thinking about sponsoring EuroPython in Bilbao
this year - it's not too late!

The list of sessions has been announced and there are more than 200
<http://blog.europython.eu/post/120361697072/europython-2015-more-than-200-sessions-waiting>
.

We're particularly interested in finding a dedicated financial aid sponsor.
One of the goals of this year's EuroPython is to be the most diverse and
inclusive event possible. Helping people attend, who normally couldn't
afford to, is just one of the ways we'll be able to make that possible.

All the information for sponsors can be found here
<https://ep2015.europython.eu/en/sponsor/>. And here's a direct link to our
rather spiffy sponsors brochure (PDF)
<https://ep2015.europython.eu/media/conference/sponsor/brochure/ep2015_sponsor_brochure.pdf>
.

Cheers

Hi Rizwan,

Click on the link at the bottom of every email sent via this list (i.e.
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk) and follow the
instructions at the bottom of the page to un-subscribe. It's basically
the same page you used when you first subscribed to the list.

Put simply, you can do this yourself. ;-)

Hope this helps,

N.

Hi,

I just wanted to get the word out that I'll be leading some hangout
sessions for people who might be considering proposing a talk for PyCon UK.

If you're at all interested, but aren't sure about your topic, want to get
feedback on your idea, want to know more about the poster session option,
or just have questions about presenting at a PyCon, please feel free to
join us.

The proposed dates/times are 11 June at 8 pm BST, 14 June at 3 PM BST, and
16 June at 8 PM BST. If there is interest in other times, you can indicate
this and we'll see what we can do.

To sign up/express interest, please visit the following form -
http://goo.gl/forms/oh47zyvktU

And please, please, please... feel free to share this and spread the word.

Thanks,
Naomi

Subject: [python-uk] And now for something completely different - the PyCon
	UK Poster Session!
Message-ID: <CAKvj0qRxRLsm5oCGjkFd47N6L=BxQspgxN58roT9WCN=sPP62g@mail.gmail.com>

And now for something completely different - the PyCon UK Poster Session!

We are pleased to announce the very first PyCon UK poster session. Poster
sessions, which are popular at scientific and academic conferences, give
the presenter a chance to stand in front of a one meter square "poster"
illustrating their topic, and interact with attendees as they pass by -
answering questions, trading ideas, etc. in a much more "up close and
personal" setting.

Poster sessions are a good way for people to get started presenting at a
conference, since one is only talking to a few people at a time. They are
also a good venue for niche projects that might not get on a talk program,
or for testing the waters with very new ideas.

This year PyCon UK will be holding its first poster session, accepting up
to 20 posters. For more information, and to find out how to submit a
poster, please visit our poster session page at

This is going to be a wonderful thing. I've always enjoyed the poster
sessions at PyCon (US/NorthAmerica) and EuroPython. Glad to see it make
an appearance at PyCon UK. Many thanks to Naomi for making this happen.

Get submitting! :-)

Hmmm... that means you can buy a television for the price of three
posters....

presenter - we only set the size limit. I've seen successful posters for
PyCon US that cost over $100 to print, but I've also seen equally
successful posters that were put together out of  several B&W printed
sheets and cost nothing more than toner and a few sheets of A4 printer
paper.

If anyone has experience and suggestions for UK poster printing options,
I'd be happy to add those to the poster session page.

Cheers,
Naomi

Hi,

Here's my take... please feel free to ignore it as the mad ramblings of
a fruitcake. Nevertheless...

Don't let the word "poster" guide your thoughts.

Some of the best "posters" at this year's PyCon in Montreal were
actually a hardware device or laptop sat on a small table with several
print outs, post it notes, old drawings and so on that were stuck to the
wall behind the presenter. The presenter for the poster would show off
the device/software 1-1 to people while others could just browse the
info on the wall.

Perhaps better to think of the "poster" as a short cut or synonym for "a
space on the wall" - to which you can stick anything (within reason).

Perhaps all you need is a cheap whiteboard and some felt tips..? Maybe
you can think of something more artistic. Perhaps "art installation" is
the way to go (pictures at an exhibition)?

Get creative! Use your imagination! Surprise us! Delight us! Make us
smile at your imaginative interpretation of poster!

Lateral thinking = good. Maybe ask yourself, what would a poster session
at Hogwarts look like..? How about choosing a currently popular concept
and bringing it to life: Internet of Things the poster session!

Don't just write stuff down and print it on a poster (which, as you
point out, could get quite expensive). For some projects that's perhaps
the most appropriate thing to do - but personally, it strikes me as
being to poster sessions as Powerpoint karaoke with bullet-points is to
a conference talk. Pictures, sketches, stuff to press, things to do,
ways to engage - that's what *I* would love to see. Tell us your story!

It's an opportunity to present something that you're passionate about to
the wider Python UK community. Let that passion shine through..! PyCon
UK is a friendly and supportive place. You're among friends - be brave,
take risks and have fun. If things go wrong, people will help and
support you.

Our conference can only be improved by such contributions.

Subject: [python-uk] PyGame Zero: I tried to install but I failed :/
Message-ID: <CAEfxiG1vXYjkrY2CcCdLjR--HC6rM+P3oEVUJ5jY3bXd6PTxPw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

after the amazing evening at last Python Dojo, I decided to try to use
PyGame Zero by myself, but I wasn't able to install it :/

I tried on a Mac (OSX Yosemite). I first installed Python 3 using brew
(I normally use Python 2.7) and I created a venv with this command:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.4 pgz
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3.4
Using base prefix
'/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4'
New python executable in pgz/bin/python3.4
Also creating executable in pgz/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
(pgz)?  ~

until here... everything ok.

When I try to install pygame zero from pip I get this error:

(pgz)?  ~  pip3 install pgzero
DEPRECATION: --download-cache has been deprecated and will be removed
in the future. Pip now automatically uses and configures its cache.
Collecting pgzero
  Downloading pgzero-1.0.2.tar.gz (326kB)
    100% |????????????????????????????????| 327kB 955kB/s
Collecting pygame>=1.9 (from pgzero)
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygame>=1.9
(from pgzero) (from versions: )
  Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be
unreliable (use --allow-external pygame to allow).
No matching distribution found for pygame>=1.9 (from pgzero)

even using pip instead of pip3 doesn't help.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong but I'm not able to figure
out what. Has anyone any idea about what's wrong with my setup?

Thank you so much for your help!

Cheers.

You need the Python 3 version of PyGame installed. Instructions for how
to do this are in the PyGame Zero docs:

https://pygame-zero.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#on-osx

Hope this helps and glad you enjoyed the dojo!

Yay! It worked now :)
Thank you so much!

p.s: where can I find the code we wrote last night?

Cheers.

Good question. I was wondering how to contact the members of team 5 so I can credit them in the code and let them know where the github repo for our code lives.

We have the code from two teams (1 & 4) linked here:
https://github.com/ldnpydojo/ldnpydojo-game-zero

Laptop owners on teams 2, 3 and 5 do get in contact so your team mates and
others can view and improve on your team's code.

Hi Tom,

I thought I had done what was requested by raising this issue on behalf of team 5 (whose other members I should very much like to identify) by raising this issue: https://bitbucket.org/lordmauve/pgzero/issue/13/holdenwebs-game-ready-for-incorporation#comment-None

If there's anything else I need to do please let me know.

Quite right Steve. Teams may like to tidy up their code and create an issue
on Dan (lordmauve)'s bitbucket repo. The raspberry pi foundation will then
have a chance to use your code in lesson plans for kids round the country.

In our case (group 2) I think we were using Gautier (I hope the name
is correct!) laptop so he may still have the source code :)

Along those lines, I realized as I was tidying up that while the code is self-evident to me, and to any experienced programmer, it would probably be very helpful to our junior colleagues (a phrase I try to use in preference to "kids" or even "students" as being more inclusive) if we were to add simple comments.

In my README I also put a short description of the program's architecture and operation, along with hints for enhancements students might like to make. I left the program functional but deliberately incomplete, and some of the enhancements (e.g. add sound, improve the graphics) are easy enough for even non-programmers to undertake without dread. That's an easy way to get a sense of accomplishment.

I'm currently busy adding branches to show my approach to some of these enhancements, which I hope will be useful to teachers who aren't particularly experienced programmers themselves in helping students who undertake them.

I think it's perhaps as complex as it needs to get now, otherwise it will start to need a Teacher's Guide :-)

Subject: [python-uk] PyCon UK - full price tickets kick in 1st July.
Message-ID: <5576BB3E.7000703@ntoll.org>

Hi Folks,

Just a quick PyCon UK reminder that the regular (?165) tickets are only
available until July 1st. From then on FULL PRICE (?215) tickets go on
sale.

However, you can always help out at the conference and buy one of the
"community" tickets for ?135.

So far ticket sales have been strong, and we don't want people to miss
out on the better value tickets..!

YOU SHOULD BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.

http://www.pyconuk.org/register/

If you know any teachers, kids (see http://pyconuk.org/education) or
scientists (http://pyconuk.org/science) you should also encourage them
to attend using the appropriate ticket rates for their vocation
(supported via sponsorship).

Finally, if you know of students, un-waged or low-income Pythonistas
please ask them to fill in the application form linked from the
registration page for a reduced rate "supported" ticket.

Please remember that the price of the conference meal is not included.
To attend the meal you should book the separate meal ticket.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Best wishes,

Nicholas.

Message-ID: <55781C20.3050302@ntoll.org>

Hi Folks,

A quick heads up: today we're announcing the fourth annual PyCon UK
education track today. Details can be here:
http://www.pyconuk.org/education/ Register here:
http://www.pyconuk.org/register/

Are you a teacher? Do you know any teachers..? Teacher's continuing
professional development day is on Friday 18th September. Thanks to the
generous sponsorship of Bank of America (again) it only costs ?50 for a
teacher's conference ticket (not including conference meal).

Can't get time off school? Not a problem - we (literally) have you
covered: we have ?200 bursaries for schools who send teachers so they
can recover the cost of a supply teacher. We'll provide details for how
to obtain the bursary when you attend the conference.

Who's taking part? The Raspberry Pi Foundation education team, Jam
Packed, teaching colleagues and professional Python programmers will all
be contributing workshops. You'll also get a chance to mix and
collaborate with the wider conference attended by the UK's most talented
Python developers.

The kids' day will be on Saturday 19th September. We aim to run various
workshops aimed at young beginner Pythonistas throughout the day. These
will include web design, robotics, Minecraft and physical computing. Our
aim is to turn excited kids into exhausted but inspired
proto-programmers. :-)

The cost is only ?5 per child and parents/guardians get in for free.
Lunch will be provided. You only need to bring an open mind and a sense
of adventure!

Spread the word, tell your friends and book tickets here:

http://www.pyconuk.org/register/

I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have!

Best wishes,

Nicholas.

Hey Guys,

I am currently searching for Python developers to join me at YPlan on some
really exciting new work. We are constantly building new things and working
towards building the world's simplest, quickest and best way to buy tickets
both online and your mobile.

Our devs are great, I mean really great and so's the management. I would
love to have a chat with anyone who is interested in potentially joining.

We are also looking at holding a Python event in our offices so anyone who
has any ideas on some exciting subject matter or would even like to do a
presentation for us that would be super!

Recommendations also warmly welcomed.


Thanks Guys.

Subject: [python-uk] PGDay UK - July 7th, London
Message-ID: <009c01d0a450$f3452bc0$d9cf8340$@gmail.com>

Dear Pythonistas

Thought some of you might be interested in the above mentioned conference.
There you will not only learn about the latest developments in PostgreSQL
but also have a look at the future of PostgreSQL - its use in banks,
government departments etc. Don't miss Tony Locke's talk - The Elephan & the
Snake: PostgreSQL & Python.

 

Top speakers at PostgreSQL user conference

The UK's only dedicated Postgres user event has announced an impressive line
up of technology and database software experts to inform and educate
delegates.

PGDay takes place on 7th July at 30 Euston Square in London and is being
organized by the UK PostgreSQL User Group.

HM Government's Chief Technology Officer, Liam Maxwell, tops the bill and
will be speaking about how awareness of Postgres is growing in the UK,
predicting what the future will hold. Database technologist David Kennaway
will talk about how Postgres is being used at investment bank Goldman Sachs,
while 2ndQuadrant's CTO Simon Riggs will be tackling PostgreSQL Futures. 

Other topics covered on the day by more global experts include a look the
next version of PostgreSQL (9.5), the AXLE Project, and backup and recovery.


Simon Riggs commented: "PGDay UK is the must attend event for PostgreSQL
users, developers, fans or even if you're simply investigating the best open
source database for the first time. Delegates will learn about features
added to version 9.4, projects under development and the future direction of
the world's most advanced open source database."

For more information about PGDay UK 2015 please see
www.postgresqlusergroup.org.uk.  

 

Would love to see you there.

Josette

When I used to do these in academia, I used an A4 printer and blue
tacked them together, used highlighters and crayons to add colour. The
poster is just the conversation opener really, the interactions with
the presenters is the interesting bit.

Hi Everybody,

The second session of London Python Project Nights will be at Skimlinks on
Thursday 18th of June - for details please see
london-python-project-nights.github.io/events.

This is an informal event. The format is likely to be much the same as the
last - people turn up between 18:30 and 19:00, feel free to bring your own
food, or order some in when you get there - if you're working on something
at the moment bring it along, work on it, and share ideas and problems with
others - if you're not working on anything, just bring yourself and maybe a
laptop, and get stuck in on someone else's project. See here for a map of
nearby transport links and food
<https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zs4gRFoXWtck.k9vlsDLKufdg&usp=sharing>
,

I hope to see some of you there!

Hi,

Just a public service announcement. See the subject of this email.

Get your papers submitted..! Also, Naomi (cc'd) has organised some
online hangouts for people who would like advice about the proposal
process, how to write a proposal and what makes a good presentation.
I'll let her step in with the details.

Best of luck,

N.

Indeed, last night we had the first of those online discussions, where we
discussed topics, what makes a proposal and talk attractive/interesting,
etc. and answered questions about the process. Some great Ideas were
discussed that I hope are selected.

There are two more chances - Sunday at 3 pm and Tuesday at 8pm. To express
interest just pop over to the form at http://goo.gl/forms/kl3Z3tAyYL and
let me know when you'd like to join.

Cheers,
Naomi

Message-ID: <00b101d0a83e$8cf130c0$a6d39240$@gmail.com>

Hi all

I thought you might want to know that the tickets for the Dynamic Languages
event are now selling at ?15 or 50% discount.

We already have some great keynotes from Lorna Mitchell (Open Source
Journey) and Dr Gianni Ciolli (Postgres for
any Language), talks by Matt S. Trout on OO in different languages, James
Laver will do a whistle stop tour of Dynamic Languages and David Jones
speaking about Go.

Please visit:http://www.dynamiclanguages.co.uk/

Tickets are on sale for the event (to cover room hire and a light
lunch/drinks) but speakers will get free entry and lunch (naturally).
There is a reduced ticket price for those that are students, unemployed
etc. Tickets are priced at ?15 and ?5 for concessions and can be purchased
at:

http://bit.ly/dl2015tickets

We look forward to seeing you there.

Josette

Subject: [python-uk] Two weeks until full price tickets kick in...
Message-ID: <55812134.1030503@ntoll.org>

Hi Folks,

Just a quick heads up...

You have a fortnight until the full price tickets come into force.

You currently have a choice of the following tickets:

Community (?135) - for helping to run the conference
(http://www.pyconuk.org/volunteer/). There are only 17 of these left.

Regular (?165) - there are only 29 of these left.

This year the conference meal is NOT included in the price of the
ticket. If you want to come along to that event you'll need the ?30
Conference Meal ticket.

Register here:

http://www.pyconuk.org/register/

The full price ticket will cost ?215.

Happy to answer questions.

Best wishes,

Nicholas.

Hey Guys,

I've had a really interesting contract role come in for a server side
Python developer. It's greenfield development of a real-time bidding engine
and routing solution using Python as the primary delivery language. c?350
per day (6 month contract) Hertfordshire (would suit a Cambridge or London
commute if not local)

*You will need most of the following skills:*

   - Advanced Python programming skills (Python 2.6 minimum, ideally Python
   3+)
   - Experience with a Python numeric computing package such as Numpy or
   Pandas
   - High performance messaging such as ZeroMQ, nanomsg, LBM, or similar
   - Performance profiling and tuning
   - Event-driven system designs

If you are interested please send me an updated CV and I will give you call.

Kind regards,

Sophie

Hi Folks,

If you're coming to PyCon UK you'll need a place to stay. All the
details can be found here:

http://www.pyconuk.org/hotels/

(Also, PyCon UK does not deal with help requests about specific
bookings, that's between you and the hotel concerned.)

Also, you only have one more week of the regular priced tickets (?165)
being on sale before full price (?215) begin on July 1st. There are
still some community (?135) tickets left too.

See you in September!

Nicholas.

The PDF form which the special rate requires has hard-crashed my machine
twice now. Caveat Lector!

As I write, the Ibis on their website is offering me the three nights of
the conference (staying Fri 18th - Mon 21st) for ?143.50 while the
Premier Inn (Earlsdon Park) where I stayed last year is offering ?132.
Both of those are the cheapest possible no-cancellation / no-change deals.

Hi Tim,

Microsoft miserere mei :-P

The PDF works for me (and others). Anyone else having problems with
Windows (apologies Tim if I'm being presumptuous here)..?

You're right. YMMV. I'm guessing that the room rates are algorithmically
generated and they're trying to drum up support. Our "deal" remains the
same until all the rooms are booked.

Does this make sense..?

(FWIW I booked my Ibis room months ago at a cheap rate.)

Might be Windows in general or just my particular setup. Thought I'd
warn people just in case.

(I looked at the hotels back at the time but wasn't sure if the
Conference would be able to come in cheaper).

Thanks in any case to whoever's had the, presumably onerous, task of
negotiating a Conference booking & rate.

As a member of the PSF board of directors it gives me great pleasure to
report that our own Nicholas Tollervey has been awarded the PSF's Community
Service Award for Q2, 2015 in recognition of his work in promoting Python
in education in the UK.

Please join me in congratulating Nicholas for this recognition of all that
he has been doing for our community.

Look for a more formal announcement on the PSF blog in the coming days.

(Getting to make this announcement is definitely my favourite thing about
being a director so far :-) )

Hi Folks,

Many thanks..! I'm feeling rather chuffed and a little embarrassed.

I'm going to make a cup of tea in celebration.

Will raise a toast and dunk a biscuit to everyone who has and continues
to help with Python in education in the UK.

You all deserve an award!

Chuffed I can understand, but the embarrassment is completely inappropriate. Oh, wait, you're English. I've clearly spent too long in America.

And perhaps something stronger in due course, I hope.

Toast AND biscuits?

While that is true, I think the general feeling will be that your work with the BBC to ensure that Python is a programming choice for their new educational device plus your leadership role in the PyCon UK team plus makes you stand out from the crowd. The PSF initiated the Community Service Awards (not an easy development at the time, by the way) precisely to give public recognition to outstanding efforts on Python's behalf, so despite your embarrassment you truly are a worthy recipient.

regards
 Steve

This is fabulous news, and very well deserved. 

As a teacher working in Computing education in the UK, I have found Nicholas? support and encouragement to be exemplary. 

I really cannot think of a better recipient for this award.

Hi Folks,

Naomi has been too self-effacing to mention that the PSF board resolved
to appoint her a vice-chair of the PSF.

From the minutes of the meeting
(https://www.python.org/psf/records/board/minutes/2015-06-08/):

RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation appoint Naomi Ceder as
Vice Chair for the 2015/16 term

Congratulations Naomi!

Today is a hugs all round sort of a day...

From our Google group:

Neither Tom nor I will be at the next meeting, which was scheduled for Tuesday 7th July.
Therefore I intend to cancel it.

The next meeting will thus be Tuesday 4th August, 2015, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://goo.gl/maps/ktqpS). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub.

Meetings after that will be:

	? Tuesday 1st September
	? Tuesday 6th October

Note that PyConUK 2015 is Friday 18th - Monday 21st September 2015, in Coventry as normal. Details are at http://www.pyconuk.org/.

Hi,

Just a friendly reminder that if you want to take advantage of the
cheaper "regular" tickets (?165) then you have until 23:59:59 tomorrow.
From July 1st they will be replaced by the full priced tickets (?215).

Of course, community, science, kids and teachers' tickets will still be
available after 1st July.

BOOK NOW to avoid the price increase.
