[Inpycon] [THREAD] PyCon India Weekly Update - Week 9

[Sukanya Mandal]

Hello everyone,


For this week there is no new update from the Diversity and Inclusion Work
Group.


We are working on our previously stated agenda -

   1. Experience sharing sessions. Here is what we did last year [1]
   2. Panel discussions (topics are yet to be decided; but mostly on
   non-tech topics; could be an extension of the above experience sharing
   sessions)
   3. PyLadies (bring your own) Lunch; we are evaluating if this is
   possible for both days.
   4. Virtual happy hour - on the second day of the conference with women
   and people from other diverse communities.
   5. Women in STEM; Technical Workshops (both hardware and software) for
   college and school (possibly) students.
   6. Conducting a week long competitions / hackathons for diverse
   communities in STEM



Blockers
- None


If you would like to help us in this initiative, please join us on zulip
here <https://pyconindia.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/247766-wg.2Fdiversity>.
We post our meeting timings on the zulip channel.

Regarding conducting workshops for women in STEM - if anyone has any idea
or would like to help out in execution or would like to conduct one, please
reach out through email or zulip.

Please note: The above events list are just a draft as of now. The final
outcome would vary.

P.S.: We have scaled down our (D&I WG) efforts a bit for now due to the
current pandemic situation. We hope to regain back our pace in a week or
two depending on the situation.



Regards,
Sukanya Mandal.
