MicroPython / BBC micro:bit at Python user groups in the UK
by Nicholas H.Tollervey Sept. 29, 2015

Sept. 29, 2015

Hi Folks, So the BBC have realised that MicroPython is really a thing that works. They've said they would be up for loaning us micro:bit devices for community events over the Autumn (heavy emphasis on the word *loan* here). :-) If you're interested in having your evening user group become a "hey let's play with MicroPython on the micro:bit" type affair please let me know via this list. I suspect I'll have to attend in person to chaperone the devices but that also means you get me to do a talk on MicroPython and the device itself. I may also be able to arrange some funky peripheral devices (a micro:bit robot car for example) to be included. My aim is two-fold: * Testing / feedback on MicroPython on the micro:bit * Idea / resource generation kickstart I'm based near Northampton so Oxford, Brum and Cambridge are easy to get to. My folks live in north Nottinghamshire so "oop north" is within striking distance if I combine that with a trip back home. Scotland is a totally different matter but I do have relatives in south Wales I could combine into a weekend trip to Cardiff if anyone is interested. These would need to be evening events since I actually do a "real job" during the day. :-) Also, I'd need to know potential dates ASAP. Any takers..? N.

[JOB] Full Stack Developer
by Paul Egan Sept. 28, 2015

Sept. 28, 2015

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a full-stack developer with a range experience across different platforms but especially Python. We're an incubator organisation where there's the opportunity to work on a wide variety of products and Python seems to me to be the best language choice in such an environment... but of course I'm biased. :-) I think we have a good setup, with the best of the startup world backed by the stability & support of a larger organisation. More information here: http://founders-factory.workable.com/jobs/115795. Feel free to email me if you'd like to know more or catch me at the next Python Dojo. Paul

Senior Developer/Technical Architect: Python, Django, AngularJS, and more; Oxford area.
by Duncan Booth Sept. 18, 2015

Sept. 18, 2015

Hi guys, Sorry I'm not going to be at PyCon UK this year (again!), but if anyone knows of any interesting jobs in the Oxford area I'd love to know about them as I'm leaving my current post soon. I have 15 years of Python experience including frameworks such as Django, Pyramid & Zope. I also have plenty front-end experience (with a current preference for AngularJS & Ionic Framework). Now I'm looking for some new challenge. I don't really want to relocate, so the Oxford/South Oxfordshire area is preferred though further afield with some telecommuting might also be considered. A version of my CV can be found at http://careers.stackoverflow.com/duncanb Duncan Booth

I couldn't find a better place to contact than this, so apologies if this is irrelevant to you. I think there is a problem with the pyconuk-adm(a)pyconuk.org email address. Yesterday was the final day for people to say if they would like to give up their ticket to PyCon UK this weekend by contacting this address. I am not able to go any more and sent an email to this address from this personal domain and also Gmail but both came back after 4 hours saying 'Connection times out'. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
