From peter.inglesby at uk.python.org Wed Aug 1 07:54:32 2018 From: peter.inglesby at uk.python.org (Peter Inglesby) Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 12:54:32 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] John Pinner Award 2018 Message-ID: Hi folks, Nominations for the 2018 John Pinner Award are open. The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in the UK, and recognises those who freely contribute their time and effort for the good of the community. Perhaps you can think of that person who quietly organises your local user group, runs workshops, mentors others online, or creates educational resources for others to re-use. It is the contributions of people like this who we'd like to celebrate through this award. Nominations close on 1st September, and recipients of the award will be announced at PyCon UK in September. You can nominate any number of people and the nomination process is very simple. Full details can be found here . If you have any questions, let me know. Peter. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Does anyone know of any PSF approved training or certifications for Python developers? There is this 10 year old page https://wiki.python.org/psf/Certification%20Proposal but I dont see any evidence that this was ever progressed past the discussion of it. Assuming there is no such thing as PSF approval, are there any certifications / training course that people would recommend, or would recognise for someone seeking employment with them? thanks Patrick From rgammans at gammascience.co.uk Thu Aug 9 09:16:23 2018 From: rgammans at gammascience.co.uk (Roger Gammans) Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2018 14:16:23 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Developers available Message-ID: <1533820583.29137.23.camel@gammascience.co.uk> Hi folks, In change from our regular diet of recruitment ads, I'm posting just the opposite. I've got a small team of python developers here, and we have a some space in our schedule over the next couple of months for an additional project.
