PROPOSAL: PyCons in Africa

[D.M. Procida]

[reposted; the previous one didn't seem to make it out!]

I have a written a first draft outlining a proposal for a PyCon in a
sub-Saharan African nation where there has never been one.

<http://pycons-in-africa.readthedocs.org>

There's an email list for people interested in becoming involved in the
idea: <http://groups.google.com/group/pycons-in-africa>.

I'm seeking support for the proposal, from all parties who'd need to be
involved, from Python user groups in African cities where a PyCon might
be viable, to people who'd want to take part and the wider Python
community.

If anyone would like to add themselves to the list of potential
collaborators on this, please do so using GitHub:
<https://github.com/evildmp/pycons-in-africa/blob/master/docs/collaborat
ors.rst>. If you can't do that, just ask me to add the information.

There's a wiki on GitHub too:
<https://github.com/evildmp/pycons-in-africa/wiki>.

I'm also seeking critical opinions on this, so if you think it's a poor
idea, or poorly conceived, or that there would be better ways to achieve
the aims in the proposal, or something key that's missing from it, I
would like to hear why you think that, so I can address any problems.

Thanks,

Daniele
