Hi Paul
We should be able to arrange at least 15 celcius. And beer!
Cheers
Mike

Sounds like a great program. A couple of my colleagues, Cooper Lees
and Jason Fried will be in town so put on some warmish weather and check
out stuff we use Python for at Facebook, from network management to data
pipelines and machine learning.
cheers

It's PyCon Australia week! We trust you are as excited as we are! ðŸ˜
There are a few events happening this week in close association with
PyCon AU. Check out the details below:
On Wednesday and Thursday, there will be a *Data Carpentry Workshop
<https://alistairwalsh.github.io/2016-08-10-Pre-Pycon_Data_Carpentry_Workshop/>*
at VLSCI (University of Melbourne). This is a hands-on workshop
teaching basic concepts, skills and tools for working more effectively
with data. It's well suited to researchers and scientists, but open to
anyone (including people not attending the conference). Topics covered
will include OpenRefine, SQL, and Pandas. It's free to attend but see
the web page to register.
Data Carpentry is a sibling organization of Software Carpentry. Where
Software Carpentry teaches best practices in software development, the
Data Carpentry focus is on the introductory computational skills
needed for data management and analysis in all domains of research.
We are big fans of Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry at PyCon
Australia; last year a Software Carpentry workshop was held alongside
PyCon AU in Brisbane, so we are happy to see this tradition continue.
Let's pythonify ALL the scientists!
On Thursday evening, there will be the *MelbDjango birthday party
<https://www.meetup.com/MelbDjango/events/232774067/>* to celebrate
MelbDjango turning three! That's a huge achievement for any meetup to
sustain, let alone the other things they have also done - organising
MelbDjango Camp, and MelbDjango Schools to share their knowledge and
love for Django to new audiences. Congratulations to Brenton and the
Common Code crew -- here's to another three years. 🎂
Finally, on Saturday morning, the *PyLadies breakfast
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pyladies-breakfast-with-pycon-australia-tickets-26914129887>*
will be happening at Left Bank Melbourne, just up the road on
Southbank. This is also a free event, but please register by Friday
for catering.
The PyLadies Melbourne <http://melbourne.pyladies.com/> chapter just
formed this year, and it's an exciting and rare chance for women and
genderqueer/non-binary Pythonistas from around the country to meet in
person and make connections. *We are looking for a sponsor for this
event.* As the conference is sold out we unfortunately can't offer any
free tickets, but we would be heartened to see financial support
forthcoming for diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. *If you
or your company is interested, please contact us
<mailto:[email protected]>.*
On the days of the conference, there will be a *Running group
<https://2016.pycon-au.org/wiki/Running>*. There are some great runs
planned and it's the best way to prepare for a day of sitting down
watching presentations, so pack your sneakers!
