[python-uk] robotics, software & devices hackathon 11-12 April, London

[Dave Snowdon]

Hi folks

Registration is now open for the NAO interfaces
 2015
hackathon which will take place over the weekend of 11-12 April at Queen
Mary University London (near Mile End tube).

The basic aim is to get as much cool stuff together in one place for a
weekend and see what amazing things people like you can do with it.

Since the event is being organised by UKNAO , there
will be NAO robots there.

We've also had confirmation from Thlamic Labs that they will be providing myo
gesture control armbands  for use during
the hackathon.

We should be announcing more sponsors and more devices nearer the event,
but you're welcome to bring & build your own devices too.
If this sounds at all interesting you can find more information and sign up
on eventbrite
.

cheers

Dave

It's very interesting and I really would like to attend, but I've tried
in the past to attent other hackatons and I really can't work all those
hours in a row with no rest. I don't want to come, join a team and risk to
leave the team in the middle of the project because I can't keep working on
it.

Am I the only one with this problem? Is it possible to attend the event
without being in a team, just hacking on something without any delivery on
time constraint?

Cheers.

I like hackathons because there you can meet people, code quietly, make
experiments, learn playing  even if concurrence is bloody :D ... all
the rules (written or not) are respected ... each time I attend a new one I
learn more (technically and humanly ) ... I attended also this :)

erika

P.S.
I forgot ... there you can also eat the best pizza you have never eaten :)
 also tesco sadwiches ... but anyway none is perfect ;)

[Dave Snowdon]

Hi Andrea

In my experience most people take a break at night and get some rest - it's
simply more effective to get some rest than try and code solidly for a
couple of days. I tried that once and I was so tired the second day I might
as well have not been there.

No one will stop you from attending and working on your own. Likewise no
one is going to force you to demo anything if you don't want to.

Erika is right: hackathons are a great way to meet other developers and
learn new stuff.

It's just more fun (IMHO) working in a team.

Dave

[python-uk] Trans*Code call for volunteers, mentors, particpants

[Naomi Ceder]

Speaking of  hackathons, I'd like to make a brief announcement of a
hackday  (yes, just one day - I get tired, too) I'm putting together
focussing on the transgender community. Trans*Code will be beginner
friendly with the goals of bringing new people into the tech community and
building connections as well as hacking on solutions to issues facing trans
and non-binary people.

While it's open to all languages, we're offering a Python tutorial to start
it, and I'd love to have a few Pythonistas on hand to coach and mentor.
Everyone says that the Python community is one of the most inclusive
around, it would be great to show it.

And non-trans allies are most welcome to participate as well - we need all
the allies we can get. :-)

Trans*Code will begin with an install and social event the evening of 27
March, with a day of hacking 28 March. The event will be at GoCardless,
Angel House, 3rd floor, 338-346 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7LQ

For more information go to http://trans-code.org and to register visit our
Eventbrite page at
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/transcode-tickets-15831761224

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. And please feel free to
share.

Cheers,
Naomi Ceder

[Erika Pellegrino]

sure I'll make it also ;)
I'd be happy if I could help ... Unfortunately I'm not a guru, but I'll do
my best :)
Let's hack!

erika

P.S.
furthermore ... I'm sure that there won't be sadwiches ;)

Ok, you convinced me :)

I've just registered. I will probably come with other 2 friends and will
make a team with them so we will work at our peace.
See you there!

Cheers.

Unfortunately I won't be in the UK - that is PyCon weekend in Montreal - but 
I'd love to attend one of these events.
