developerjackHappy morning-coffee to you everyone!
I hope your #GDPR day was as entertaining as mine! Living in the future, I managed to get a retroactive privacy policy update from Zoho!
Last week was crazy busy in Melbourne where I was a lucky recipient of Virgin Australia’s plane-flu! As a result, I’m now very well acquainted with my couch and Netflix’s latest releases 🤒.
Today’s weekly comes just days before the PyConAU 2018 CFP closes – you should totally apply to speak! I’m totally thrilled to be one of the open mentors who can help you put together your talk proposal (before the deadline).
And onto the interesting reads for the week ahead.

Read the post.That’s it from me! A bit under 48 hours left to go to submit your PyConAU proposals!
Happy CFP’ing!
