The Keynote: The Encounter: Python’s adventures in Africa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A genuine encounter changes both parties. In this talk Daniele and Aisha will report 
on the dialogue opened up by recent PyCons and other Python events in Africa. 

They’ll discuss Python’s impact in countries including Namibia, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, 
and what open-source software means for Africa at large 
- and what the encounter means for Python too.


Enjoy,
