Don't be afraid to commit - a free Python/Django workshop (Cardiff, UK)

I have made a combined talk/workshop proposal for DjangoCon Europe in May (all proposals at <http://2013.djangocon.eu/vote/>).

I want to run the workshop part a couple of times before taking it to Warsaw (assuming the proposal is accepted, but it's worth doing anyway).

The workshop is free and open to anyone - so if you're interested and within reach, let me know.

=========================
Don't be afraid to commit
=========================

A hands-on workshop for Python/Django developers who would like to contribute
more to the projects they use, but need more grounding in some of the tools
required.

What's in it for you
====================

As well as helping to put you in a position to commit successfully to
collaborative projects, the workshop's emphasis on using virtualenv/pip and
git will help you manage your own work in a more streamlined and efficient
way.

The automated testing tutorial - the most substantial component of the workshop
- will help you develop your software faster, better and more easily.

What we'll cover
================

The workshop will take participants through the complete cycle of identifying
a simple issue in a Django or Python project, writing a patch with tests and
documentation, and submitting it.

The workshop will take you through the use of:

* virtualenv and pip
* git (and GitHub)
* running and writing tests for Python applications
* writing and building documentation using Sphinx
* submitting a pull request

A workbook and reference guide will be provided to support the workshop.

What you need to know
=====================

The workshop is open to anyone, but places will be limited.

Date: a weekday morning or afternoon in February or March 2012
Venue: Cardiff University
Attendance fee: none

Let me know if you'd like to attend!
