hexagonal Django
by Jonathan Hartley Sept. 11, 2014

Sept. 11, 2014

The last few weeks I've been thinking about the architectural pattern known as Clean, Onion, Hexagonal, or Ports'n'Adaptors <http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html> (http://blog.8thlight.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html). I'm curious if many people are applying it in the Django world? I haven't, yet, but I'm thinking of refactoring a vertical slice of our monster Django app into this style, and I'd love to hear if you think it's crazy / brilliant / obvious / old-hat, etc. Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com http://tartley.com Made of meat. +44 7737 062 225 twitter/skype: tartley

Django Weekend Cardiff
by Daniele Procida Nov. 26, 2013

Nov. 26, 2013

(With apologies if you have already seen this on another email list or newsgroup.) The UK's first-ever Django conference will take place on the 7th-9th February 2014 in Cardiff, Wales. <http://djangoweekend.org> The programme for the event: Friday: tutorials and demonstrations (also open to the public) Saturday: talks Sunday: code sprints and clinics The conference is Django-focused, but all of all aspects of Python fall within its remit - particularly in the tutorials and workshops. A venue has been booked at Cardiff University. Registration and ticket sales will open soon, as well as a call for papers. To be a success, the conference needs the support of: * people in Wales, the UK and beyond who will participate as attendees or volunteers * speakers who'd like to give talks or conduct tutorials * organisations locally and internationally willing to provide sponsorship or other support If you can offer support in any of these capacities, please get in touch. One of the aims of the conference is to establish it as an annual event that will raise the profile in Wales of open-source software in general and Python in particular, and also bolster the local open-source software community here. Above all, however, the intention is to establish the Django Weekend in Cardiff as a meaningful and enjoyable date in the Django/Python calendar. We'll publish updates on our website, our Twitter account <https://twitter.com/DjangoWeekend> and elsewhere as appropriate. Daniele

by Daniele Procida Nov. 23, 2013

Nov. 23, 2013

[With apologies to those who will inevitably see this message in more than one group or list.] In 2014 Cardiff will hold the first-ever Django conference in the UK. <https://djangoweekend.org> Django Weekend Cardiff will take place at Cardiff University in Wales <http://cardiff.ac.uk>, from the 7th to the 9th February, for three days of talks, tutorials, code sprints and clinics. The conference is Django-focused, but all aspects of Python fall within its remit. Django Weekend Cardiff is a Django/Python non-profit community event, organised and run entirely by unpaid volunteers. The success of Python and Django community events relies upon the generosity of sponsors <https://djangoweekend.org/sponsors/>. Can you help? Every penny received will go directly towards making this a better conference and improving the experience enjoyed by attendees. Our sponsorship prospectus <https://djangoweekend.org/sponsorship-prospectus/> outlines some ways sponsors can get involved. If you'd like to be part of the event, please get in touch. With thanks, Daniele

Twisted Sprint in Bristol hosted by HybridCluster
by James Broadhead Nov. 18, 2013

Nov. 18, 2013

Forwarding this on in case there are other Twisted devs here who missed this on twisted-python. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <exarkun(a)twistedmatrix.com> Date: 5 November 2013 22:25 Subject: [Twisted-Python] Bristol (England!) sprint hosted by HybridCluster To: twisted-python(a)twistedmatrix.com Greetings all, I'm pleased to invite you to join Tom Prince (2013 Twisted Fellow), Luke Marsden (founder of HybridCluster), and the HybridCluster team (including myself!) for the first Twisted sprint hosted by HybridCluster! The sprint will take place on December 7th in central Bristol (exact location to be determined) from 11AM until no one remains capable of higher brain function(*). As usual sprint topics will surely be wide ranging - bring your favorite pet project, a personal loathing for unresolved bugs, or just find someone interesting to work with when you show up (personally, I'll probably be trying to add APIs to support more easily testing Agent- using applications). HybridCluster is a small Bristol-based company building high density web hosting platform using Twisted for all manner of tasks - from SSH, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4 to internal cluster coordination and asynchronous SQL access. Watch this space for a follow-up post giving details about the venue (and free food!). In the meantime feel free to contact me or post to the list with any other questions. Jean-Paul (*) Due to excessive hacking. Certainly not because of any kind of mind control technology deployed by the TSF. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python(a)twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python

Computing History museum
by Carles Pina i Estany Nov. 18, 2013

Nov. 18, 2013

Hello, Last Saturday I went to the Cambridge Centre for Computing History. I think that after Bletchley Park it's my favourite museum :-) I took some photos and wrote a quick write up: http://pintant.cat/2013/11/18/the-cambridge-centre-for-computing-history/ It's a quite new museum, so I thought that someone here could be interested in it but maybe someone doesn't know it. Apologies for the quite bad photos... Regards, -- Carles Pina i Estany Web: http://pinux.info || Blog: http://pintant.cat
