Re: [python-uk] Don't be afraid to commit - a free Python/Django workshop (Cardiff)
I would be interested in this. craig
A hands-on workshop for Python/Django developers who would like to contribute more to the projects they use, but need more grounding in some of the tools required.
What's in it for you ====================
As well as helping to put you in a position to commit successfully to collaborative projects, the workshop's emphasis on using virtualenv/pip and git will help you manage your own work in a more streamlined and efficient way.
The automate testing tutorial - the most substantial component of the workshop - will help you develop your software faster, better and more easily.
What we'll cover ================
The workshop will take participants through the complete cycle of identifying a simple issue in a Django or Python project, writing a patch with tests and documentation, and submitting it.
The workshop will take you through the use of:
* virtualenv and pip * git (and GitHub) * running and writing tests for Python applications * writing and building documentation using Sphinx * submitting a pull request
A workbook and reference guide will be provided to support the workshop.
What you need to know =====================
The workshop is open to anyone, but places will be limited.
Date: a weekday morning or afternoon in February or March 2012 Venue: Cardiff University Attendance fee: none
Let me know if you'd like to attend!

Hi fellow Python fans, I'm looking for contract work and immediately available. My CV is here: www.grazebrook.com/cv Briefly: I've been contracting for nearly 3 decades. I've only a few years Python experience but it's my favourite language. I'm weak at web skills, strong on analysis, design, software engineering. I mostly work in the City. If anyone is active in an open source Python project, I'm open to suggestions for good uses for my time while I look for work. Michael Grazebrook.
