[Python-africa] Python-africa Digest, Vol 1, Issue 4

[Farell Folly]

Hello Ibrahim,

That is a very good idea. Can you help us setup a PyCon in Benin? What are
the requirements/constraints ?

Meilleures salutations,

> Just a few words about this list...
>
> At PyCon Namibia Aisha, Ibrahim and myself shared similar feelings about
> the need to create software (amongst other things) in Africa. We were
> delighted to have met a number of people from several different
> countries in Africa since we feel that we can do more if we help one
> another.
>
> There was a realisation that we may be distributed further apart than
> (for example) Europeans are and perhaps also have fewer opportunities to
> meet. Moreover, it came to light that people in different countries are
> not always aware of events, such as PyCon Namibia or PyConZA that could
> bring us together.
>
> That is why we felt a mailing list would be a good idea, and with the
> kind help of Naomi Ceder on the PSF board, here we are!
>
> Now that it is there, there is a question of what to do with it :-) We
> honestly did not think much further... Perhaps that is a good thing: now
> that several people have joined up you all can probably make that decision.
>
> Here are some thoughts we had:
>   - This would be a good place to announce events, such as PyCon
> Zimbabwe and PyCon Nigeria (which we know some people are thinking of
> organising). There is also an upcoming DjangoGirls in Nigeria and in
> Zimbabwe if I am not mistaken.
>   - We can also promote open source projects that happen in Africa, or
> find someone to help.
>   - Even Python questions could be a good idea - some may be more
> comfortable asking those within our own "Pan-African community"
>
> In general we just want to keep in touch, know what's going on and
> stimulate a more coherent Python community in Africa.
>
> We hope you have similar aims and feel welcome to join in.

> Kind regards
