repurposing python-uk artwork
by Jonathan Hartley Jan. 31, 2016

Jan. 31, 2016

Is the fantastic PyCon UK artwork of recent years licensed such that I could re-use it for my own purposes? I've set up a new Python meetup group in my new homeland of Rochester, Minnesota, USA. I'm going to distribute flyers to promote the group in local colleges and the like. Since the very best Python related artwork I've ever seen is the PyCon UK graphics of the last few years, I'd love to re-use that and just plaster my own text on top, along the lines of "come to our local Python meetup!" If this is allowed, where could I get it? Jonathan -- Jonathan Hartley tartley(a)tartley.com +1 507-513-1101

Next CamPUG meeting: Tue 1st Feb 2016
by Tony Ibbs Jan. 28, 2016

Jan. 28, 2016

The next Cambridge Python User Group meeting will be on Tuesday 1st February at 7pm Geoffrey French will talk about Deep Learning, which he has used to recognise dead fish (for money) and facial expressions (for fun): "In the last few years, deep neural networks have been used to generate state of the art results in image classification, segmentation and object detection. They have also successfully been used for speech recognition. In this talk, I will give an introduction to deep neural networks. I will cover how they work, how they are trained, and how to get going. The talk will primarily focus on image processing." About himself, Geoffrey says: "I am a researcher at Kings College London working in the area of developing new kinds of programming tools. I have also worked on two computer vision projects in the past, aimed at processing microscope images and quantifying surveillance videos from fishing trawlers. I tend to use Python out of choice for almost anything I can!" This meeting will be held at the Department of Engineering (that should link to a map). For those who came to the January meeting, we should be in a room two floors up from that room. Come in at reception, and the stairs are on the right. If the reception doors are shut and locked, then there may be a porter to let you in, and otherwise I shall have left a notice on one of the doors with my mobile number, so you can ring to be let in. There may be lots of other people around the ground floor, as there is another event on. Meetings after that will be: • Tuesday 1st March 2016 - Come and play with Anvil (http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/events/227697910/) • Tuesday 5th April 2016 - Compiling B with Python (http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/events/227894378/) • Tuesday 3rd May - to be determined Please note that we are also now on meetup.com, at http://www.meetup.com/CamPUG/. If possible, please RSVP there for meetings so we have an idea of numbers. As an incentive, there's much more detail about each meeting there.

A MicroPython kickstarter
by Nicholas H.Tollervey Jan. 28, 2016

Jan. 28, 2016

Folks, Damien is at it again... :-) He's created a version of MicroPython that runs on the ubiquitous ESP8266 WiFi chip (so Pythonic IoT a doddle). If you want to support Python as a first class IoT language then please consider backing this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micropython-on-the-esp8266-b… From the blurb: "We want to make MicroPython run like clockwork on the bare metal of the ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip. MicroPython gives you the benefits of a well-known high-level programming language - simple and powerful code, and rapid development - all in the constraints of a microcontroller. Using MicroPython on the ESP8266 will allow you to create beautiful Internet of Things devices with ease, much quicker than with C or similar compiled languages, and using Python is a lot of fun!"
