A Python Sprint is a fantastic idea as well. I've double checked our facilities and we can easily accomodate 35 in the theater and can squeeze in another 7 chairs up front (might be a little cramped though) and there's a little bit of standing room off the side. I think 40-45 people would be the

Hi Nick, Absolutely, is there a system in place somewhere to help coordinate these or is it on an ad-hoc basis? Do you just check Lanyard or something? On 31 January 2012 12:41, Nicholas H.Tollervey wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi Ed, > > > > > Still early days.

I like the idea of a hackathon and the venue would lend itself well to this. I've been told that we won't have budget for food or drink but I have other contacts that I may able to convince to help sponsor the events. As I said, it's early days yet and I've only just started the formal process for

There's no reason we couldn't host two events a month at the Global office (Leicester Square). I have to get sign off but it seems possible. We have a theatre that will seat around 40 people for presentations. I'll wait until I get final approval before moving forward. On 31 January 2012 11:00, Jo

I'd be up for hosting something on Sunday (maybe Saturday) at the office (Global Radio) in Liecester Square on Sundays if anyone is interested. It's likely I could get something sorted once a month. We have a proper theater along with breakout 6 rooms and other large spaces. On Jan 30, 2012 9:56 P

I say we ease the discussion and just write it in Perl. While not everyone will know Django it is fairly simple to get your head around. Beyond that the time to release should be minimal with something like Pinax, which I'm guessing would give us ~80% of our core functionality for a site like this
