I am looking for a new Python contract but alas, although I've been using Python for a decade, I've never used Django.

Hey Peter,

Hope the run up to PyCon is going OK!

I was just getting in touch to say I'm leaving Velindre to start a new life
as a developer for a startup based out of Welsh ICE called Signum Health.
Sadly they don't use Python (it's ASP.NET - travesty!) but I thought I'd
let you know that the training you gave us in Django helped me get off the
ground in web development which, in turn, led to this job! I actually got
another job offer before this one for these guys <http://devinit.org/> which
was a Python role, but it was in Bristol which was a bit far out for me.

I'd also like to say I've tried as hard possible to get you booked in to
give us those training sessions in Velindre, but the resistance has been
scary and disappointing. They genuinely made the excuse that because we had
a new technologist starting the same month as your training was due to go
ahead we'd have to delay the training.... Genuinely makes no sense. I think
it's cos you were going to recommend us using git instead of SVN and it
pushed them over the edge : ). I've asked them to make sure they book you
in once I've gone but the likelihood of that happening is basically zero -
they seem intent on making their own ropey system instead of just
implementing tried and tested industry standards. We're no further ahead
with it than we were a year ago. As you might have guessed this lack of
drive and focus is in part why I'm leaving!

If I could justify coming to PyCon I definitely would... I will see if I
can persuade my new employer to send me. My wife is considering going to
Django Girls too - and I've shared it to my friends. The creche is a genius
idea - childcare is such a barrier to entry for stuff like this.

Anyway, I hope our paths cross again - if you're out in Cardiff for drinks
during the conference let me know!

Best wishes to you and the family,

Leo

Subject: [python-uk] PyCon UK accommodation
Message-ID: <CAENJrPnOXcsg7GNTGcafSWTk3Swjq2ZRFNMcWT34ZMNtoa+Tig@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

There are rumours that a heavyweight boxing match may be taking place in
Cardiff on the Saturday of PyCon UK, and so accommodation in the city has
been snapped up much more quickly this year than usual.

If you're coming to the conference, *you should book your accommodation now*.
Don?t delay any further!  If you leave it too late, you may find that there
is no more affordable accommodation available.

We have set up a wiki
<http://pyconukaccommodation.wikia.com/wiki/PyConUKAccommodation_Wiki> for
people to arrange sharing of rooms or rentals, or for anybody in Cardiff to
offer a room in their home.  (We can offer a free conference ticket to
anybody in Cardiff who can put up visitors in their home.)

Please see the accommodation page <http://2017.pyconuk.org/accommodation/> on
our website for more details.

To help you plan when to come to the conference, we have also released
a provisional
list <http://2017.pyconuk.org/schedule/> of the talks and workshops that
are happening each day.

All the best

~ The PyCon UK Committee

Dear all,

The London Python Code Dojo is coming back on the 7th September 2017 at
6:30pm.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch will host us again, but please note we are
now near Saint Paul's at 2 King Edward Street, main entrance behind the
Christchurch Greyfriars Church Garden. The nearest tube stations are Saint
Paul's, Barbican and Chancery Lane. You'll need to bring a photo ID to get
past security.

Assuming good weather, food and drinks will be provided on the rooftop
terrace. The views are astounding up there!

We will have our usual mixture of socialising, lightning talks, hacking on
silly problems. For those who wish, there will be post-Dojo socialising in
a nearby pub.

So book now for a free ticket at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/
e/london-python-code-dojo-season-9-episode-1-tickets-37479098994 !

The address again :
Bank of America Merrill Lynch
Financial Centre
2 King Edward Street
EC1A 1HQ

All the best,
Gautier
