Issue #67 — Moon
Friday 26 September 2014
Hi all
This weekend Ben is in Spain for Python San Sebastián 2014, a new Python conference based at the University of Navarra where he gave a keynote. Ryan has been busy volunteering at both the Raspberry Pi club and Code Clubs that he runs.
Picademy #4 is coming up at the beginning of this week so Carrie Anne and the education team will be hosting a group of keen teachers at Pi Towers.
Next weekend is Oggcamp – this year hosted in Oxford.
