Reviewing third-party packages
by PyUK＠getaroundtoit.co.uk July 29, 2017

July 29, 2017

Are you able to recommend materials which deal with the *management precautions* one should take in reviewing a third-party package before use/inclusion in a wider system, please? There are plenty of resources available which deal with the coding-technical side of things, eg dir(), help(), PSL's inspect.py, etc. This enquiry encompasses those, but am particularly interested in security: back-doors, phoning-home, and other 'nasties'; license management; any costs; citation; etc. Will welcome references to articles, tutorials, check-lists, etc... -- Regards, =dn

Re: [python-uk] Discount code for PyCon PL to Python community in UK
by Peter Inglesby July 27, 2017

July 27, 2017

Hi all, Here's a message from our friends in the Polish Python community about a discount code for PyCon PL <https://pl.pycon.org/2017/index_en.html> at the end of August. I've been to PyCon PL a couple of times and have had a very enjoyable experience. If you get the chance to go, you should! Cheers, Peter ~~~~ Hi I would be grateful if you could pass the below code to Python community in UK. The discount code is: UKPYC7 You enter it in "Discount code" field and then when you click PAYMENT button it will subtract 60 EUR (or 240 PLN) for each of the attendees you are registering (incorrect code won't allow you to pass to the next screen). If you encounter any problems just feel free to contact us - we'll do the best we can to help you. The registration system is our own Python webapp and under development, so there might still be some bugs ;-) Best regards, Filip PS. The above code applies only to people from United Kingdom, so you shouldn't pass it to people from other countries - they will have their own discount codes.

The UK Python Association
by Peter Inglesby July 26, 2017

July 26, 2017

Hi all, The PyCon UK committee have recently registered the the UK Python Association <http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/Charit…> as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 <http://2017.pyconuk.org/tickets/>, or if you already have a ticket, when you fill out your profile <https://hq.pyconuk.org/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 <https://hq.pyconuk.org/ukpa/nominations/new/> by Thursday 12th October. You can read more about the decision-making behind the formation of the UKPA here <http://2017.pyconuk.org/ukpa/>. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the trustees: trustees(a)uk.python.org. I'd like to thank Owen Campbell for the hard work to make this happen. All the best, Peter

London Python Dojo venues - planning ahead
by Tim Golden July 19, 2017

July 19, 2017

The London Python Dojo team is trying to put together a plan for the coming year, starting from September. We'd like to line up, in advance, hosting venues and, in certain months, specific themes. If you've never come across the London Python Dojo, you can read a little about it here: http://ldnpydojo.org.uk/ and see us on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/ldnpydojo https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ldnpydojo This, then, is a call for companies prepared to host the Dojo over the coming months. Usually the hosting company provides office space and food & drink. But maybe you can provide the space but have no budget for refreshments; or you're willing to pay for beer & pizza but have no space suitable for 30 people. Perhaps you're willing to pay for space elsewhere for an evening (eg in a shared working space). Over the years quite a few companies have generously provided space and food, and we hope they can again. For other companies, it's not only a chance to give back to the Python community, it's also gets you a bit of advertising and goodwill, and a chance to scout for talent! Aside from whatever space you're providing, you're looking at something like 12 pizzas and beer/soft drinks for 30 people. So, is your company willing, on one or more months, to: * Host the Dojo in your offices and provide food? * Sponsor a hosting venue (eg a shared space)? * Sponsor food & drink at someone else's venue? If you are -- or if you think you can get help in some other way -- please contact the London Python Dojo team: team(a)ldnpydojo.org.uk Thanks TJG

by Nicholas H.Tollervey July 13, 2017

Hi Folks, You may not realise, but our very own Carrie Anne Philbin has been nominated for this year's award as an inspiring woman in tech. We all know she's an inspiring woman in tech *anyway* but if you believe her contributions to our community, education and diversity in technology deserve celebration and recognition you can vote for her here: http://www.computerweekly.com/news/450422519/Voting-open-vote-now-for-t he-most-influential-woman-in-UK-tech-2017 It's very easy to vote, they don't require you to sign up or anything and it'd be wonderful if Carrie Anne was recognised! Please spread the word and vote! :-) Best wishes, N.
