Aargh, I was so proud of my management skills, and I managed to get it wrong!

Sorry about that, and a big thank you to ekit.

Free pizza, folks!

Tonight was a great success.

Thanks everyone who gave a talk and everyone who attended. I counted
24 people at peak, including a couple of the Inspire9ers.

Thanks also Inspire9 for being so awesome, and Richard and ekit for
the yummy and abundant pizza. And beer!

See you all next month!

	deadlines fast approaching!
Message-ID: <CABRwemn_H9OCSMOQMca_Pka=DhukuysWdjT1pSopmqrVSRo2LA@mail.gmail.com>

With little over one month remaining before PyCon Australia 2012 kicks
off in Hobart, Tasmania, there are some important conference deadlines
fast approaching.  There's just one week left to book conference
accommodation at the conference venue, and only registrations
completed before the end of July will include a conference T-shirt.


== Accommodation -- Book by Tuesday 17 July ==

Our conference venue, Wrest Point, has a number of hotel rooms
reserved for PyCon Australia delegates, at guaranteed prices.  These
are good value-for-money, and are all very close to the conference
rooms.

These rates will only be guaranteed for delegates who reserve their
rooms on or before Tuesday 17 July 2012.  For details of prices, room
types, and how to book, see our website at
http://2012.pycon-au.org/register/accommodation

To reserve your room, one night's (refundable) deposit must be paid on
reservation.


== Conference Registration -- Register by Tuesday 31 July to guarantee
your t-shirt ==

Conference registrations will be open until just before the conference
kicks off, unless we sell out earlier.  However, we need final numbers
for our t-shirt supplier at the start of August.  So, if you want your
conference t-shirt, please register before Tuesday 31 July!


If you've got any queries about the conference, registration or
accommodation, please don't hesitate to get in contact with us through
e-mail at contact at pycon-au.org


See you here in August!

	Meetup!
Message-ID: <CADt_azYD5tM7cRwK+5Eq-7XnupMhrw5GHb53n0CyR_BaA9sfTg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

 Forgive me if you receive this multiple times (sending it to a few
mailing lists that may find it interesting).

 Next month on the 21st of August is the first meeting of a new meetup
group I'm starting, relating specifically to Maths and Science. The
idea is to bring together researchers/students/interested parties from
all fields of maths, science, engineering, etc, to have short
15-minute talks on their particular areas of topics of interest.
Hopefully we can learn some interesting things from each other!

 The meetup group, with info on the first meet, is here:
  - http://www.meetup.com/The-Melbourne-Maths-and-Science-Meetup/

 There is also a google sites website, and mailing list (though the
meetup group will probably be the primary spot to know about):
  - https://sites.google.com/site/melbmasm/

 I'm still looking for talks for the first night, or into the future,
so please propose one (on the meetup website or to me directly, etc),
or send this email to anyone who may be interested!

 Hope to see you there!

Message-ID: <CAPp7duN=jt4RrcD+1XWrbx8i2gR245rp_WqEGtmHaxvU6yKwoA@mail.gmail.com>

Hey all
We're looking for two junior-intermediate devs.
We're working in online film + tv, though experience with this isn't
required.
We currently have a small team, haven't launched, have an awesome business
model, are a project of an (existing!) reputable company, and are dealing
with important guys.

Culture is casual; we don't have serious job titles and wear ties - but we
also do not have nerf fights and massages. We have an industrial coffee
machine and a Red Bull fridge.
We get good hardware and monitors because the boss is a tech guy who values
our time.
We're based 7km east of Melbourne.

Ideally we're after devs who can also do ops/infrastructure or business
doco - but I'm interested in talking to anyone and see where it
goes. Things we're working with include:

   - Python, Django, HTML+CSS+Javascript
   - Apache, Nginx, Varnish
   - Node.js
   - CentOS & Ubuntu
   - Big storage, Virtualization
   - Mobile - iOS (objective c) + Android (java)
   - Smart TVs (currently Samsung and Android)
   - Game Consoles

If you're interested I look forward to hearing from you,
Nick

Hi, I'd like to apply for this. I'm currently working as a php dev
developing e-commerce sites for a fashion company on Magento(least
documented software ever written).
I'd much rather be writing python at a tech company. I've attached my resume.

Conversational python, some Django, Pylons, Turbogears.
HTML+CSS+Javascript since 1996.

I've installed and configured these more times than I can remember.

> Node.js
Fairly brief encounters with node.js.

> CentOS & Ubuntu
Linux on my desktop since 2003.

> Mobile - iOS (objective c) + Android (java)
I've spent a few days doing android dev, no iOS dev at all.

Subject: [melbourne-pug] Four weeks until PyCon Australia 2012: Have you
	registered yet?
Message-ID: <CABRwemknjPCd07e4zESK7Fd7mQ_BE2GNziLqtRpdJ=D333a+tg@mail.gmail.com>

Things have been very busy here at PyCon Australia 2012 headquarters
-- we've been busy putting the finishing touches on what we hope will
be an amazing conference for Python programmers from around Australia
and beyond.

=== T-shirt registration deadline: Tuesday 31 July. ===

Of course, a conference is nothing without people attending, and
there's still plenty of opportunity to join in the fun. Registrations
for the conference will remain open until the week of the conference,
or until we sell out; but if you want one of our fantastic conference
t-shirts, you'll need to have your registration finalised on Tuesday,
31 July.

Prices for reigstrations start at $44 for students, and $198 for
individuals. You can register at
http://2012.pycon-au.org/register/prices

=== More Events! ===

For those of you attending the conference, you'll be pleased to know
that we've confirmed a few more of our events for the conference. The
annual PyLadies breakfast is happening on the Saturday, before
conference festivities start, at Wrest Point's Pier One waterfront
restaurant. This event is open to all female delegates to the
conference, and is being sponsored by our good friends at Google
Australia.

We've also finalised details of our conference dinner -- we'll be
sharing details of these with you next week, but needless to say,
we're very excited about it, and can't wait to share this with you.

The next meeting, next Monday, is the last one before PyCon AU in Hobart!

We'll be meeting at Inspire9 in Richmond, from 6PM - details at http://j.mp/mpug

We can use this as an excuse to test-run some material for the
conference, or talk about anything else really. Feel free to step up
for a talk :-)

There won't be sponsored pizza for this meeting. I imagine we'll pass
the hat around (about $10 each for those who want some.)

Subject: [melbourne-pug] PyCon 2013 is under way! Now accepting proposals
Message-ID: <CAD+XWwqpX7NJrUqjCPmcMw_-XKTLd54FeREnq+_1cMZ=RYcsbA@mail.gmail.com>

It was only a few months ago when we wrapped up the hugely successful
PyCon 2012, and we started working on the 2013 conference right away.
PyCon 2013 will again be in Santa Clara, California, with tutorials
kicking off March 13, the conference March 15, and sprints beginning
March 18. Along with our site release at https://us.pycon.org/2013/,
we opened our Call for Proposals a month earlier than last year at
https://us.pycon.org/2013/speaking/cfp/.

We're looking to you, the community, to help us make PyCon 2013 even
better. We're accepting proposals through September 28, hoping to
break last year's record of 519 talk, tutorial, and poster proposals.
We're looking for all types of presentations from all types of people.
If you've got a topic to share, we hope you'll submit a proposal.
Create an account at https://us.pycon.org/2013/account/signup/, and
fill in your speaker profile and submit away!

With another record submission period expected, we're also rounding up
volunteers for our Program Committee, the team tasked with evaluating
the proposals and coming up with the conference schedule. If you're
interested in volunteering, join the PyCon Program Committee mailing
list and introduce yourself at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-pc.

Without sponsors, PyCon wouldn't be possible. They're what keep the
conference prices low and values high, and we share the same deal with
our sponsorship packages. Especially after you factor in the price of
tickets that all packages include, we think our sponsorship packages
are second to none. We even have a 50% discount for small businesses!
Check out https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ for more
info.

We've also made changes in how we're doing ticketing, specifically for
early bird rates. We even cut our student ticket prices in half,
starting at $100! We'll announce more details as we get closer, but
know that ticket sales will be opening up in the fall. Be sure to plan
accordingly because we anticipate another quick sell out!

Be sure to follow us at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and
