[python-uk] Planet London Python

At his request, I've just added Harry Percival's "Obey the Testing Goat" blog to the London Python aggregator at http://londonpython.org.uk. So those of you who felt you weren't getting enough of Harry's shameless self-promotion (his words) can now feed your need even further. Joking aside, if any

Going by the PyConUK site (which I randomly glanced at just now) there appear to be early bird tickets for sale already, but I don't remember seeing any announcements. Can I go in and book? Or is it just a placeholder for now? TJG ___ python-uk mailing l
