The UK Python Association (UKPA) is a Charity registered in England and Wales. It was created in 2017 and its aims are:
+ +++ +To advance education for the public benefit in the use and understanding of the Python programming language within the UK by organising, presenting and promoting Python related conferences, meetings and events at venues in the UK
+
Anyone attending the PyCon UK conference is entitled to annual membership of the UKPA. It is expected that membership will be opened to the wider community soon.
+ +Up to and including 2015, PyCon UK was run by the PyCon UK Society. This was an unincorporated membership organisation that was set up early in the history of PyCon UK.
+ +Because it was unincorporated, it was unclear who would have liability should something go wrong; the likelihood being that individuals concerned with organising and running the event would have personal liability.
+ +As such, those of us at a planning meeting for the 2016 conference agreed to commission an investigation into the formation of a suitable incorporated entity.
+ +That investigation recommended the formation of a not-for-profit structure known as a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), since (among other things) it is simple to establish, and PyCon UK Society Ltd (PUKSL) was registered in early 2016. Its directors are Peter Inglesby, Kristian Glass and Zeth Green. The assets of the original PyCon UK Society were transferred to the PUKSL and its bank account was closed.
+ +The 2016 and 2017 conferences were formally run by PyCon UK Society Ltd; PUKSL entered all the relevant contracts and was liable for any debt.
+ +Although forming the CLG was the correct decision in 2016, it has a number of drawbacks:
+ +Following several discussions at the 2016 conference, it was decided that we should investigate whether we could improve matters further and a decision was made to form a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the UK Charity Commission.
+ +The UK Python Association was thus registered in June 2017 as Charity No. 1173471 with a constitution based upon a combination of a model document produced by the Charity Commission and the original constitution of the PyCon UK Society.
+ +The elected trustees of the UKPA were decided at the first AGM of the UK Python Association, held at PyCon UK 2017. They were:
+ +One further trustee, the Conference Director, is appointed by the elected trustees and, at their first trustees meeting on 29th October 2017, they appointed Daniele Procida who thus became the seventh Trustee.
+ +In May 2018, Nicholas Tollervey resigned as a UKPA Trustee.
+ +The 2018 conference will once again be run by PUKSL.
+ +Although we intend to transfer the assets of PUSKL to the UKPA and for the UKPA to run the conference in future, there are VAT implications which will take some time to resolve before we can do so. The UKPA trustees felt that there was not enough time to be confident of completing that process before the 2018 tickets had to go on sale and did not want to put the conference at risk by not having completed all that's required.
+ +At PyCon UK 2018, we will hold the second AGM of the UK Python association.
+ +Anyone attending the 2018 conference is entitled to membership of the UKPA and is thus entitled to vote at the AGM. Membership will expire after 12 months or at the 2019 conference - whichever is sooner.
+ +We have a trustee vacancy due to the resignation and the constitution specifies that a further two trustees must retire at each AGM (but may then put themselves forward for re-election).
+ + +You can get in touch with the UKPA trustees via trustees@uk.python.org.
+ +If you would like to publicise an event or group via UK Python News, please send an email to news@uk.python.org.

+The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in the UK.
+ +During PyCon UK, the following members of our community were presented with a medal by Sheila Pinner:
+ +Congratulations to the recipients!
+ + +From Mario Corchero:
+ +Join Bloomberg's engineering team and PyPA core developers +for a weekend of hacking on the Python packaging tools (setuptools, +pip, venv, warehouse, and more). +We'll provide mentors, food, beverages, and a great environment for learning.
+ +The event will happen in London and New York, with PyPA mentors +present on both locations.
+ +The event is Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of October, you can register +for an individual day if preferred.
+ +Registration links:
+ + + + +From the PyCon UK committee:
+ +We have now published the full schedule for PyCon UK 2018.

+The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in +the UK.
+ +It is awarded annually at PyCon UK to those who freely contribute their time +and effort for the good of the community. Recipients are given a Pythonic +medal and a free ticket to the next year's conference.
+ +Nominations are made by members of the community, and recipients are chosen +based on these nominations by a small panel of previous recipients, chaired by +a UKPA trustee.
+ +The following were presented with awards at PyCon UK 2018:
+ +John Pinner founded PyCon UK in 2007, and organised the conference until his +death in 2015. He was the personification of a Pythonista who gave his time, +code and effort to the community. He was a role model, mentor and teacher who +is sorely missed.
+ +With the blessing of the Pinner family, the UKPA is initiating the award to +honour and remember John's extraordinary contribution to our community.
+ + +If you were sad not to get a free t-shirt and mug at PyCon UK this year, be sad no longer! We're now selling conference swag, with proceeds going towards the 2017 financial assistance budget. Next year we'll try to make these available before the conference!
+ + +A date for your diary: PyCon UK 2017 will (provisionally!) take place in Cardiff from Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October.
+ + +There will be a Django Girls workshop in Manchester on 11th February. Applications are open until 3rd January.
+ + +From the PyData London team:
+ +"PyData London's Call for Proposals is open, +and we're seeking talks on data science and data engineering from all levels +(first-timers super welcome through to those with many years of experience). +The conference will run during May 5-7th in central London with 330 attendees.
+ +Topics we'd like to see proposed include data pipelines and storage to solve +data engineering tasks, machine learning and statistics to answer questions, +visualisation to explain results and everything around these topics. For +inspiration see our schedule from last year + and the talks that we have at our monthly meetup.
+ +The Call for Proposals runs until mid-to-late February (closing date to be +confirmed), the earlier you submit the more feedback you'll get and the more +likely you are to be accepted."
+ + +There will be a Django Girls workshop in London on Saturday 18th March. Applications are open until 3rd March.
+ + +EuroPython 2017 will take place in Rimini, Italy, from 9th to 16th July. More details are on the EuroPython website, and in particular, the Call for Proposals is now open.
+ + +UK Python News now has a sign-up form on the PyCon UK website. Please tell your friends and colleagues!
+ + +A new Meetup group has been formed in London for teachers, learners, and makers interested in programming the BBC micro:bit or other small computers in MicroPython.
+ +They plan to meet monthly and their first meeting is on Monday May 8th.
+ + +Tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will go on sale on June 25th, +and the Call for Participation will be launched on the same day.
+ +The conference will take place at Cardiff City Hall from Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October. +If you've never been to a PyCon before, +you can take a look at what we did last year, +or catch up with videos of talks on YouTube.
+ + +Following a slight holiday-related hitch, +tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will now go on sale slightly later than planned +on July 2nd on the conference website.
+ +We'll also open the Call for Participation then, +and we'd like to see proposals of all sorts for talks, workshops, posters — or anything else — +from all parts of the community. +We're especially interested in proposals from first-time speakers, +and we'll be able to provide mentorship and advice to all speakers who request it.
+ +On the same day, we'll be opening applications for financial assistance, +and we have allocated a significant proportion of our conference budget towards +ensuring that attending the conference is as affordable as possible.
+ +Finally, we're also looking for conference sponsors. +Sponsoring the conference is the best way for your company to engage with the UK Python community, +whether you want to recruit Python engineers, +promote your products, +or raise your profile. +Sponsors get free conference tickets, +a space to exhibit during the conference, +promotion online and in this newsletter, +and (for higher-level sponsors) guaranteed space on the programme. +If you're interested, please take a look at our sponsorship prospectus.

+ + + + +The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in the UK.
+ +During PyCon UK, the following members of our community were presented with a medal by Sheila Pinner:
+ +Congratulations to the recipients!
+ + +We are delighted to announce the full schedule for PyCon UK 2017!
+ +We're hosting a huge number of talks, workshops, and other sessions. +Speakers are coming from all over the world to share their experiments, discoveries, probelms, solutions, achievements, failures, and other adventures.
+ +There are lots of sessions aimed at beginners and people new to Python, as well as lots more advanced content.
+ +And we're particularly pleased to have whole tracks dedicated to education and to data science.
+ +If you don't have your ticket yet, you'll need to get one now! +Ticket sales close at the end of Monday 9th October.
+ + +We will be closing ticket sales for PyCon UK (except for the children's day) at 23:59 BST on Monday 9th October.
+ + +Following confirmation that a world title heavyweight boxing match is taking place in Cardiff over the weekend of the conference, we have made reservations for around 200 beds for conference delegates in hostels in Cardiff.
+ +If you are coming to the conference and have not yet reserved accommodation, please do so as soon as possible! Ticketholders can book accommodation through the ticketing website.
+ +For more information, see the accommodation page on the conference website.

+ +"Formula Pi is a racing competition for software +developers to compete against each other to see how good their code is at +controlling a small autonomously vehicle.
+ +The hardware is provided and maintained by the organisers so the vehicles are +identical removing that expense and complexity from competitors. This results +in a series that allows software engineers to compete purely on the +capabilities of their code. Competitors upload their code to vehicles via the +Formula Pi website and the races are streamed live on YouTube.
+ +When competitors register they get access to a simulator for testing their code +as well as some example Python code to get started.
+ +Registration for the third +series of Formula Pi is open until 30th Septmber."
+ + +We are pleased to announce that nominations for the first ever +John Pinner Award are open.
+ +We want YOU to nominate people who freely contribute time and effort for the +good of the UK Python community but who generally don't get the sort of +recognition others may enjoy. To be clear, this award celebrates community +rather than technical endeavours.
+ +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.
+ +You can nominate any number of people and the nomination process is very +simple. Full details can be found here.
+ +Get nominating!
+ + +We're pleased to share a provisional day-by-day schedule for PyCon UK 2017.
+ +You can find more details on our website.
+ + +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 +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 on our website for more details.
+ + +We're excited to announce the keynote speakers for PyCon UK 2017.
+ +Tickets for the Children's Day at PyCon +UK 2017 are now on sale.
+ +We'll be hosting a Code Club, suitable for +children under 13, and a Raspberry Jam for +older children, or those looking to take on more advanced projects.
+ +Tickets are just £5 and include +a picnic lunch. Parents and guardians accompanying children do not require a +conference ticket.
+ + +The PyCon UK CFP has closed, and we're bowled over by the number of excellent submissions we've had.
+ +The conference committee will be mulling over the programme over the next couple of weeks, and we'll have some very difficult decisions to make. In the meantime, we'd like to thank everybody who's submitted a proposal.
+ + +From the organisers of Django Girls at PyCon UK:
+ +"Are you female and want to learn how to make websites? Don’t know where to start? We have good news for you! We are holding a one-day workshop at PyCon UK 2017 for beginners. We believe the IT industry will benefit greatly from encouraging more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us - female programmers!
+ +Learning how to code can seem like an impossible task, so a Django Girls workshop at PyCon UK will show 30 programming beginners how it can be done and get them excited about the world of technology.
+ +The Django Girls workshop is a crash course aimed at total beginners. You don’t need to know anything about programming, just bring your own laptop, have a sufficient understanding of English so you’re able to follow our English tutorial and be able to commit to the all-day workshop. You will work through the tutorial in a small group of three attendees and one coach so you’ll be able to do it at your own pace.
+ +Django Girls was born in July 2014 in Berlin and today, Django Girls is a volunteer run organisation with hundreds of people contributing to bring more women to the Python and Django communities. Our goal is to bring more amazing women into the world of technology and increase the diversity in the Django community."
+ +To register your interest in attending, please fill in the application form.
+ + +The Call for Participation for PyCon UK closes on 10th August. +The committee will aim to publish a list of selected events by 24th August.

+ + +PyCon UK and PyData London are joining forces +to deliver a track of talks, workshops, and other events about data science +at PyCon UK in October.
+ +Access to the PyData track is included in the ticket price for PyCon UK, +and the track's organisers are still looking for proposals for talks and workshops.
+ + +The PyCon UK committee have recently registered the the +UK Python Association +as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation +with the Charity Commission.
+ +The UKPA is a membership organisation, and in the first instance, anybody who attends PyCon UK 2017 is entitled to membership. +For now, membership entitles you to vote to elect the organisation's trustees. +You can indicate that you would like to join the UKPA when you buy a ticket for the conference, +or if you already have a ticket, when you fill out your profile.
+ +We are looking to elect up to six trustees for the UKPA at the first AGM on the Saturday of the conference. +The trustees will be responsible for the charity's management and administration, +and will be responsible for appointing a chair for PyCon UK 2018.
+ +If you would like to put yourself forward for election as trustee, +please complete the nomination form +by Thursday 12th October.
+ +You can read more about the decision-making behind the formation of the UKPA +here.
+ + +We're delighted to announce that tickets for PyCon UK 2017 are now on sale from our website. +Our Call for Participation is also open, + and we've started taking applications for financial assistance.
+ +The conference will be at Cardiff City Hall Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October, +and we hope that we'll see many of you there.

+ + +From Peter Inglesby, PyCon UK chair:
+ +"I've been producing UK Python News since last autumn, +and it's now in a state where I'd be happy to hand it over to somebody else.
+ +There are number of different aspects to the work:
+ +If you'd like to chat more about what taking on any of this would involve, +please drop me a line at peter.inglesby@gmail.com."
+ + +Following a slight holiday-related hitch, +tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will now go on sale slightly later than planned +on July 2nd on the conference website.
+ +We'll also open the Call for Participation then, +and we'd like to see proposals of all sorts for talks, workshops, posters — or anything else — +from all parts of the community. +We're especially interested in proposals from first-time speakers, +and we'll be able to provide mentorship and advice to all speakers who request it.
+ +On the same day, we'll be opening applications for financial assistance, +and we have allocated a significant proportion of our conference budget towards +ensuring that attending the conference is as affordable as possible.
+ +Finally, we're also looking for conference sponsors. +Sponsoring the conference is the best way for your company to engage with the UK Python community, +whether you want to recruit Python engineers, +promote your products, +or raise your profile. +Sponsors get free conference tickets, +a space to exhibit during the conference, +promotion online and in this newsletter, +and (for higher-level sponsors) guaranteed space on the programme. +If you're interested, please take a look at our sponsorship prospectus.
+ + +Tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will go on sale on June 25th, +and the Call for Participation will be launched on the same day.
+ +The conference will take place at Cardiff City Hall from Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October. +If you've never been to a PyCon before, +you can take a look at what we did last year, +or catch up with videos of talks on YouTube.

+ + +From the organisers of Django Girls at PyCon UK:
+ +"Are you female and want to learn how to make websites? Don’t know where to start? We have good news for you! We are holding a one-day workshop at PyCon UK 2017 for beginners. We believe the IT industry will benefit greatly from encouraging more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us - female programmers!
+ +Learning how to code can seem like an impossible task, so a Django Girls workshop at PyCon UK will show 30 programming beginners how it can be done and get them excited about the world of technology.
+ +The Django Girls workshop is a crash course aimed at total beginners. You don’t need to know anything about programming, just bring your own laptop, have a sufficient understanding of English so you’re able to follow our English tutorial and be able to commit to the all-day workshop. You will work through the tutorial in a small group of three attendees and one coach so you’ll be able to do it at your own pace.
+ +Django Girls was born in July 2014 in Berlin and today, Django Girls is a volunteer run organisation with hundreds of people contributing to bring more women to the Python and Django communities. Our goal is to bring more amazing women into the world of technology and increase the diversity in the Django community."
+ +To register your interest in attending, please fill in the application form.
+ + +The PyCon UK CFP has closed, and we're bowled over by the number of excellent submissions we've had.

+ +We want YOU to nominate people who freely contribute time and effort for the +good of the UK Python community but who generally don't get the sort of +recognition others may enjoy. To be clear, this award celebrates community +rather than technical endeavours.
+ +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.
+ +You can nominate any number of people and the nomination process is very +simple. Full details can be found here.
+ +Get nominating!
+ + +From Barry Byford:
+ +"Formula Pi is a racing competition for software +developers to compete against each other to see how good their code is at +controlling a small autonomously vehicle.
+ +The hardware is provided and maintained by the organisers so the vehicles are +identical removing that expense and complexity from competitors. This results +in a series that allows software engineers to compete purely on the +capabilities of their code. Competitors upload their code to vehicles via the +Formula Pi website and the races are streamed live on YouTube.
+ +When competitors register they get access to a simulator for testing their code +as well as some example Python code to get started.
+ +Registration for the third +series of Formula Pi is open until 30th Septmber."

A jobs email is sent every 2 weeks containing 7-10 jobs, there's a +focus towards London and the jobs reach across the UK and into Western Europe. +Currently there are over 900 people on the list and a set have found new roles +via this list. Advertising companies range from start-ups to the BBC, Cambridge +University and Last.fm. Your email is never shared with anyone else, the list +is controlled by mailchimp so you can unsubscribe at any time.
+ +Here's a quote from one of the list members (Frank is a co-founder of +PyDataBristol).
+ +++ +I’m very grateful for Ian’s job list as it enabled me to find a Data Science + job in an interesting and meaningful domain, and furthermore connected me with + likeminded folk. Strongly recommend. – Frank Kelly, Senior Data Scientist + @HAL24K

+ +Alumni include companies like Docker and Lambda Foundry."
+ + + + +The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in the UK.
+ +During PyCon UK, the following members of our community were presented with a medal by Sheila Pinner:
+ +Congratulations to the recipients!
+ + +We are delighted to announce the full schedule for PyCon UK 2017!
+ +We're hosting a huge number of talks, workshops, and other sessions. +Speakers are coming from all over the world to share their experiments, discoveries, probelms, solutions, achievements, failures, and other adventures.
+ +There are lots of sessions aimed at beginners and people new to Python, as well as lots more advanced content.
+ +And we're particularly pleased to have whole tracks dedicated to education and to data science.
+ +If you don't have your ticket yet, you'll need to get one now! +Ticket sales close at the end of Monday 9th October.
+ + +We will be closing ticket sales for PyCon UK (except for the children's day) at 23:59 BST on Monday 9th October.
+ + +Following confirmation that a world title heavyweight boxing match is taking place in Cardiff over the weekend of the conference, we have made reservations for around 200 beds for conference delegates in hostels in Cardiff.
+ +If you are coming to the conference and have not yet reserved accommodation, please do so as soon as possible! Ticketholders can book accommodation through the ticketing website.
+ +For more information, see the accommodation page on the conference website.
+ + +From Barry Byford:
+ +"Formula Pi is a racing competition for software +developers to compete against each other to see how good their code is at +controlling a small autonomously vehicle.
+ +The hardware is provided and maintained by the organisers so the vehicles are +identical removing that expense and complexity from competitors. This results +in a series that allows software engineers to compete purely on the +capabilities of their code. Competitors upload their code to vehicles via the +Formula Pi website and the races are streamed live on YouTube.
+ +When competitors register they get access to a simulator for testing their code +as well as some example Python code to get started.
+ +Registration for the third +series of Formula Pi is open until 30th Septmber."
+ + +We are pleased to announce that nominations for the first ever +John Pinner Award are open.
+ +We want YOU to nominate people who freely contribute time and effort for the +good of the UK Python community but who generally don't get the sort of +recognition others may enjoy. To be clear, this award celebrates community +rather than technical endeavours.
+ +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.
+ +You can nominate any number of people and the nomination process is very +simple. Full details can be found here.
+ +Get nominating!
+ + +We're pleased to share a provisional day-by-day schedule for PyCon UK 2017.
+ +You can find more details on our website.
+ + +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 +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 on our website for more details.
+ + +We're excited to announce the keynote speakers for PyCon UK 2017.
+ +Tickets for the Children's Day at PyCon +UK 2017 are now on sale.
+ +We'll be hosting a Code Club, suitable for +children under 13, and a Raspberry Jam for +older children, or those looking to take on more advanced projects.
+ +Tickets are just £5 and include +a picnic lunch. Parents and guardians accompanying children do not require a +conference ticket.
+ + +The PyCon UK CFP has closed, and we're bowled over by the number of excellent submissions we've had.
+ +The conference committee will be mulling over the programme over the next couple of weeks, and we'll have some very difficult decisions to make. In the meantime, we'd like to thank everybody who's submitted a proposal.
+ + +From the organisers of Django Girls at PyCon UK:
+ +"Are you female and want to learn how to make websites? Don’t know where to start? We have good news for you! We are holding a one-day workshop at PyCon UK 2017 for beginners. We believe the IT industry will benefit greatly from encouraging more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us - female programmers!
+ +Learning how to code can seem like an impossible task, so a Django Girls workshop at PyCon UK will show 30 programming beginners how it can be done and get them excited about the world of technology.
+ +The Django Girls workshop is a crash course aimed at total beginners. You don’t need to know anything about programming, just bring your own laptop, have a sufficient understanding of English so you’re able to follow our English tutorial and be able to commit to the all-day workshop. You will work through the tutorial in a small group of three attendees and one coach so you’ll be able to do it at your own pace.
+ +Django Girls was born in July 2014 in Berlin and today, Django Girls is a volunteer run organisation with hundreds of people contributing to bring more women to the Python and Django communities. Our goal is to bring more amazing women into the world of technology and increase the diversity in the Django community."
+ +To register your interest in attending, please fill in the application form.
+ + +The Call for Participation for PyCon UK closes on 10th August. +The committee will aim to publish a list of selected events by 24th August.
+ +We always see a sharp rise in ticket sales immediately after the programme is announced. +To make sure you dont miss out, you should get your tickets now!
+ + +PyCon UK and PyData London are joining forces +to deliver a track of talks, workshops, and other events about data science +at PyCon UK in October.
+ +Access to the PyData track is included in the ticket price for PyCon UK, +and the track's organisers are still looking for proposals for talks and workshops.
+ + +The PyCon UK committee have recently registered the the +UK Python Association +as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation +with the Charity Commission.
+ +The UKPA is a membership organisation, and in the first instance, anybody who attends PyCon UK 2017 is entitled to membership. +For now, membership entitles you to vote to elect the organisation's trustees. +You can indicate that you would like to join the UKPA when you buy a ticket for the conference, +or if you already have a ticket, when you fill out your profile.
+ +We are looking to elect up to six trustees for the UKPA at the first AGM on the Saturday of the conference. +The trustees will be responsible for the charity's management and administration, +and will be responsible for appointing a chair for PyCon UK 2018.
+ +If you would like to put yourself forward for election as trustee, +please complete the nomination form +by Thursday 12th October.
+ +You can read more about the decision-making behind the formation of the UKPA +here.
+ + +We're delighted to announce that tickets for PyCon UK 2017 are now on sale from our website. +Our Call for Participation is also open, + and we've started taking applications for financial assistance.
+ +The conference will be at Cardiff City Hall Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October, +and we hope that we'll see many of you there.
+ +There'll be plenty more announcements over the coming weeks, +so keep an eye out on the mailing list.
+ +Please share this with your friends and colleagues, +and if you have any questions, get in touch.
+ + +From Peter Inglesby, PyCon UK chair:
+ +"I've been producing UK Python News since last autumn, +and it's now in a state where I'd be happy to hand it over to somebody else.
+ +There are number of different aspects to the work:
+ +If you'd like to chat more about what taking on any of this would involve, +please drop me a line at peter.inglesby@gmail.com."
+ + +Following a slight holiday-related hitch, +tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will now go on sale slightly later than planned +on July 2nd on the conference website.
+ +We'll also open the Call for Participation then, +and we'd like to see proposals of all sorts for talks, workshops, posters — or anything else — +from all parts of the community. +We're especially interested in proposals from first-time speakers, +and we'll be able to provide mentorship and advice to all speakers who request it.
+ +On the same day, we'll be opening applications for financial assistance, +and we have allocated a significant proportion of our conference budget towards +ensuring that attending the conference is as affordable as possible.
+ +Finally, we're also looking for conference sponsors. +Sponsoring the conference is the best way for your company to engage with the UK Python community, +whether you want to recruit Python engineers, +promote your products, +or raise your profile. +Sponsors get free conference tickets, +a space to exhibit during the conference, +promotion online and in this newsletter, +and (for higher-level sponsors) guaranteed space on the programme. +If you're interested, please take a look at our sponsorship prospectus.
+ + +Tickets for PyCon UK 2017 will go on sale on June 25th, +and the Call for Participation will be launched on the same day.
+ +The conference will take place at Cardiff City Hall from Thursday 26th to Monday 30th October. +If you've never been to a PyCon before, +you can take a look at what we did last year, +or catch up with videos of talks on YouTube.
+ + +A new Meetup group has been formed in London for teachers, learners, and makers interested in programming the BBC micro:bit or other small computers in MicroPython.
+ +They plan to meet monthly and their first meeting is on Monday May 8th.
+ + +UK Python News now has a sign-up form on the PyCon UK website. Please tell your friends and colleagues!
+ + +EuroPython 2017 will take place in Rimini, Italy, from 9th to 16th July. More details are on the EuroPython website, and in particular, the Call for Proposals is now open.
+ + +There will be a Django Girls workshop in London on Saturday 18th March. Applications are open until 3rd March.
+ + +From the PyData London team:
+ +"PyData London's Call for Proposals is open, +and we're seeking talks on data science and data engineering from all levels +(first-timers super welcome through to those with many years of experience). +The conference will run during May 5-7th in central London with 330 attendees.
+ +Topics we'd like to see proposed include data pipelines and storage to solve +data engineering tasks, machine learning and statistics to answer questions, +visualisation to explain results and everything around these topics. For +inspiration see our schedule from last year + and the talks that we have at our monthly meetup.
+ +The Call for Proposals runs until mid-to-late February (closing date to be +confirmed), the earlier you submit the more feedback you'll get and the more +likely you are to be accepted."
