Exercism.io ( https://exercism.io ) is a platform designed to help people improve their coding skills through practice and mentorship. Recently it re-launched with a new mentoring feature. All the students there are guaranteed to receive feedback from a mentor. This greatly helps students with learning many languages, including Python. Python is well-represented on Exercism when it comes to student interest. (Un)fortunately, it is disproportionately more popular to learn Python than to teach it, thus we are asking for your help! If you would want to help a bunch of enthusiastic learners improve their Python skill, go to https://mentoring.exercism.io for details. There are actually many languages on Exercism that could use additional mentors. If you are not comfortable mentoring Python, it would be possible to mentor another language. If you need more encouragement, someone wrote a blog post about what they personally enjoyed about being a mentor: https://angelika.me/2018/08/12/5-reasons-to-become-a-mentor-on-exercism/ Thank you so much, cheers Credits: I've re-used the text from this post on Reddit which was related to Scala https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/9tgh6c/exercismio_needs_scala_mentors/ -- Andrea Grandi - Software Engineer Website: https://www.andreagrandi.it Twitter: https://twitter.com/andreagrandi GitHub: https://github.com/andreagrandi PGP: https://www.andreagrandi.it/2240402E.asc From daniele at vurt.org Thu Nov 8 14:00:00 2018 From: daniele at vurt.org (Daniele Procida) Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2018 19:00:00 +0000 Subject: [python-uk] An opportunity: to develop a membership/nomination system for the DJjango Software Foundation Message-ID: <20181108190000.1000682330@mail.gandi.net> The DSF is offering US$5000-8000 to develop an automated membership and nomination system.
