We are well aware of the role that the Python Software Foundation plays in the development and diffusion of the Language. As such we would like to have the PSF support and recognition of this event in the official page. Is this possible? Do you need anything from us? Your collaboration is really important. This is the first step we are taking in order to consolidate the Python community in Mexico not only locally but internationally. We are also aiming to do a PyCon Mexico 2018 so there is a lot we have yet to do. Thank you for your time and attention. Best Erika Alejandra Pelaez Coyotl, PhD candidate in Biomedical Sciences and Machine Learning ---- Organizer of Mexico City Pyladies chapter. Maricela Sanchez Miranda, Backend Python developer---- Organizer of Django Girls Puebla Gloria Palma Gonzales, IT engineer ---- Organizer of Openstack events in Mexico City. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
