Dear Naija Pythonistas,

In case you missed it on twitter and on the Slack channel The dates for
PyCon Nigeria has been finalised September 15 and 16, and would hold in
University of Lagos.
You can find the full announcement here https://pycon.ng/blog/

The 2 days will be packed with various topics from introductory Python
workshops, to more intermediate sessions that will cover topics in areas
like web development frameworks, Data Science, Internet of Things, Data
Centers, Community and more. Come and learn amazing and interesting things
about the Python language that you haven?t learned before. It promises to
be an enlightening conference.

Call for proposals are also open and you can sign up and submit a talk on
the pycon.ng website

Would bring more updates to the community as things unfold.

Pythonic Hugs,
Aisha

Hi Wale,

The only plans for media we presently have is to contact some bloggers and
use twitter. Do you have any suggestions or would you like to help in
getting the word out :)

Cheers,

Subject: [python-nigeria] Finally We are now Officially Registered
Message-ID: <CABsUhZcN4obOLMU4WCaHbheLXGzWbGsZo2AC1oa8hJ46PrK=-Q@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Naija Pythonistas,

It is with great delight I bring you good news that Python Nigeria has now
been registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with RC
Number : 96572
You can find the registration via public search on their portal
http://publicsearch.cac.gov.ng:8080/comsearch/test.php

Many of us that are familiar with how complicated this process can be,
especially dealing with the government authorities can attest and
understand the difficulties we have had. We decided to share with you some
of these challenges upon the successful registration. Many times CAC
rejected our community name suggestions like (Python Users Nigeria Group,
python Nigeria, and a host of many others) They even went ahead to reject
our first application after publishing in the newspaper because they
believed we wanted to start a community of Python(the actual snakes)
rearers, and even with our documentation on the communities aims and goals
it was a lot of back and forth issue. It took a lot of convincing thanks to
the consistent fight by our Chair person Chukwudi to explain to them via
our Lawyers that we are just as scared of snakes as they were and our
community wasn't about the actual Snake or some sort of cult. lol

Many of you when we started this process thankfully donated  to pay for the
registrations and I just want to say without your help this would not have
been possible. This couldn't have come at a better time ; just in time as
PyConNG draws near. As a registered community we can now send invitation
letters to international attendees to facilitate the visa process and
official letters to organisations. *shines teeth*

I would personally like to thank collectively everyone who made this
possible, Friends and members of the community who donated funds, the
members of the Board for making this possible and especially Chuks for
being the front runner in this feat.

Signing out Shoki style :D .....
Aisha

On Behalf of the General Secretary.

Congratulations to us.

It is not an easy feat doing CAC registration for an NGO like of this
nature.
The system could be frustrating.

The journey has just begun.

Message-ID: <CAKvj0qSAXXDrhw9emfp3aJUgLsFZ19cLsZqP0_XJW9A5FfuDmw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I wanted to invite all of you to become members of the Python Software
Foundation. It is free to join just by visiting
https://www.python.org/accounts/login/ and creating an account. Also you
can learn more about the PSF and membership here -
https://www.python.org/psf/membership/

Nigeria has one of the fastest growing Python communities in the world -
you all have done so much in the past year! That means that many of you are
eligible to be contributing (and VOTING) members of the PSF.

To qualify to vote as a contributing member you need to spend 5 hours a
month, or 60 hours a year, working to benefit the PSF community. Note, if
you organise a meetup, this includes the time you spend at the meetup. It's
nearly impossible to organise a monthly meetup and not spend that amount of
time.

So if you are spending the time to help the Python community in organising,
tutoring, mentoring, etc please become a voting member of the PSF and cast
your vote in selecting the directors you feel with best represent you and
serve the wider Python community. To do that please apply here:
https://goo.gl/forms/bjPOtSU6D5TwKZVh1 before May 1.

Here is the election calendar of the PSF Board of Directors:

Call for nominations (or self-nominations) for the Board of Directors: May
1, 2017 AoE [1]
Date nominations close: May 25, 2017 AoE
Voting request [2] deadline: May 25, 2017 AoE
Date of beginning of the vote: 1 June 2017
Date of close of voting: 10 June 2017

All people who have organized or volunteered in the Python community for at
least 5 hours per month can vote in the election. I know that many of you
have contributed a lot and I hope you will participate in the PSF elections.

If you have questions / concerns, please feel free to ask me.

Cheers,
Naomi Ceder

[1] AoE: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe
[2] If you are not yet a voting member, please apply here:
https://goo.gl/forms/bjPOtSU6D5TwKZVh1. If unsure, send an email to
ejodlowska @ python.org.
