Technically, we use a wide range of actual code stuff (see the ad) and there is the chance to get involved in and shape our code working practices.

PyLondinium 2019
by Marc Garcia March 26, 2019

March 26, 2019

Hi there! In case you haven't heard, PyLondinium 2019 has been announced, tickets are on sale, and CFP is open: https://pylondinium.org/ PyLondinium this year is organised to finance the CPython core developer sprint (like flights of core devs that otherwise would have to pay them by themselves). So, the ridiculously cheap tickets (£45 the individual ticket for two days) are a great contribution to the community. The program last year was outstanding (including core devs of CPython, Django, Jupyter., the chair of the PSF...). And this year will probably be even better (you can see last edition videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHh7vOesookNhYvupCCcJxA/videos). Last year the event sold out, and this year early bird tickets sold out in few hours, so I'd say better don't wait until last minute. Cheers!
