[Python-africa] International Data Week – IDW2018 & SCIDataCon-IDW2018 , 5th - 8th Gaborone, 2018

[Jessica Upani]

Dear Tshiamo,

It is an honor to receive your invitation. Thanks for the great work that
you are all doing on behalf of all of us. I know how time consuming it can
be.

I will let the Namibian Python Community know and see how we can be
involved.

Kind Regards,
Jessica
