[Python-africa] Is the mailing list still active ?

[Farell Folly]

I am from Benin not Nigeria, however; this is actually my mother's language
yoruba (most spoken in Nigeria and less in Benin), but I don't speak.
Instead, I speak my father's language  which is mina or ewe (Ghana Togo and
Benin).

October 6th is my birthday, so I will definitely be in Cape Town, it will
be my first Pybirth-D !!! 😀

BTW, let's wait for more people to join us in planning for a Pycon at the
next Africa Internet Summit.



Best Regards
