Re: [python-uk] Hotel details and deal

2015-06-24 Thread Tim Golden
The PDF form which the special rate requires has hard-crashed my machine
twice now. Caveat Lector!

As I write, the Ibis on their website is offering me the three nights of
the conference (staying Fri 18th - Mon 21st) for £143.50 while the
Premier Inn (Earlsdon Park) where I stayed last year is offering £132.
Both of those are the cheapest possible no-cancellation / no-change deals.

[python-uk] Hotel details and deal

2015-06-24 Thread Nicholas H.Tollervey
Hi Folks,

If you're coming to PyCon UK you'll need a place to stay. All the
details can be found here:

http://www.pyconuk.org/hotels/

(Also, PyCon UK does not deal with help requests about specific
bookings, that's between you and the hotel concerned.)

Also, you only have one more week of the regular priced tickets (£165)
being on sale before full price (£215) begin on July 1st. There are
still some community (£135) tickets left too.

See you in September!

Nicholas.

[python-uk] Back atcha Naomi Ceder (newly minted Vice Chair of the PSF)

2015-06-24 Thread Nicholas H.Tollervey
Hi Folks,

Naomi has been too self-effacing to mention that the PSF board resolved
to appoint her a vice-chair of the PSF.

From the minutes of the meeting
(https://www.python.org/psf/records/board/minutes/2015-06-08/):

RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation appoint Naomi Ceder as
Vice Chair for the 2015/16 term

Congratulations Naomi!

Today is a hugs all round sort of a day...

:-)

[python-uk] Nicholas Tollervey winner of PSF Community Service Award

2015-06-24 Thread Naomi Ceder
As a member of the PSF board of directors it gives me great pleasure to
report that our own Nicholas Tollervey has been awarded the PSF's Community
Service Award for Q2, 2015 in recognition of his work in promoting Python
in education in the UK.

Please join me in congratulating Nicholas for this recognition of all that
he has been doing for our community.

Look for a more formal announcement on the PSF blog in the coming days.

(Getting to make this announcement is definitely my favourite thing about
being a director so far :-) )

Cheers,

 Hi Folks,
 
 Many thanks..! I'm feeling rather chuffed and a little embarrassed.
 
Chuffed I can understand, but the embarrassment is completely inappropriate. 
Oh, wait, you're English. I've clearly spent too long in America.

 I'm going to make a cup of tea in celebration.
 
And perhaps something stronger in due course, I hope.

 Will raise a toast and dunk a biscuit to everyone who has and continues
 to help with Python in education in the UK.
 
Toast AND biscuits?

 You all deserve an award!
 
While that is true, I think the general feeling will be that your work with the 
BBC to ensure that Python is a programming choice for their new educational 
device plus your leadership role in the PyCon UK team plus makes you stand out 
from the crowd. The PSF initiated the Community Service Awards (not an easy 
development at the time, by the way) precisely to give public recognition to 
outstanding efforts on Python's behalf, so despite your embarrassment you truly 
are a worthy recipient.

regards
 Steve

This is fabulous news, and very well deserved. 

As a teacher working in Computing education in the UK, I have found Nicholas’ 
support and encouragement to be exemplary. 

I really cannot think of a better recipient for this award.
