And am I inferring correctly you want to start a general Python user group and not a PyLadies chapter focusing on women? For a mailing list you may contact postmaster at python.org for a new mailing list. Hope I can visit you in India someday! ?

As of pyladies, here[1] they mentioned "Anyone with an interest in Python is encouraged to participate!" So I can integrate the them as of now, later if size of group increase I can split it to conduct women-only events. > > > For a mailing list you may contact postmaster at python.org for a new mailing > list. > > Thanks, will do. > > Hope I can visit you in India someday! > > Sure, will be great to hear from you!

Participants I spoke with said they really liked the format and the quality of the coaches involved. Coaches even after meeting with 15 people one-on-one in an hour and a half really liked it. Carlos Guestrin addressed our 30 students with a personal keynote that included the history of how he stared in machine learning. We learned that Graphlab was for named for his Labrador Retriever. He also covered the courses and shared with students what to expect as they progress with each course in the Machine Learning specialization. Now General Assembly plans to host study sessions for our students every two weeks. Members of Dato's team have expressed an interest in dropping-in to help students. I'll also make a call to PuPPy members for tutor volunteers. ?
