* **8pm UTC** – Speed your development with quickly.widgets – Rick Spencer
* **9pm UTC onwards** – Snippets Party – Join us in `#ubuntu-app-devel` and create Python snippets to share with other people – see [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PythonSnippets) for details of how to get involved!
It is recommended that you enjoy the week in [Lernid](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid). You can find out more details of how to install Lernid [right here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid). Don’t want to use Lernid? No worries, just pop over to `#ubuntu-classroom` and `#ubuntu-classroom-chat` to join in the fun. Don’t forget that `#ubuntu-app-devel` is the place to ask questions about general development on Ubuntu. 🙂
## Join the snippets party!
Today is a special day this week: in addition to providing some great content to help people get started writing apps on Ubuntu, we are also keen to continue growing our [wonderful library of python-snippets](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PythonSnippets) which is viewed with a program I wrote called *Acire*. This library of snippets provides a range of examples that you can run, play with, modify and merge into your programs. So many of us learn by doing, and the more snippets we have the easier it is the learn from a diverse range of topics!
We have two events today I am keen to encourage you to join. First I will be delivering a session on the python snippets project:
* **6pm UTC** – Learning through examples with Acire and Python-Snippets – Jono Bacon
In the session I will explain how the project came about, it’s current progress and where we are going. We will then have a fun snippets party a little later:
* **9pm UTC onwards** – Snippets Party – Join us in `#ubuntu-app-devel` and create Python snippets to share with other people – see [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PythonSnippets) for details of how to get involved!
The snippets party is simple: just join `#ubuntu-app-devel` on freenode and join us to write a bunch of snippets and contribute them to python-snippets. Today we have 104 snippets already in the library: I would love to see us get that to over 150 today. Come and join us!
