Hi Naomi,

You're welcome to the group.
We will very much like to see the python community grow here and are
grateful for your availability to help.
Right now there are a number of python developers here but we have not
organised any kind of event (none that I know of).
So holding the djangogirls thingy will be a very good start to getting
people together.
BTW there is this meetup that we are starting (will send the link in a bit).

Regards

Hi Naomi,

We will are grateful for your availability to help.
Right now there are a number of python developers here but we have not
organised any kind of event (none that I know of).
DjangoGirls will be great.

Hi everyone,
I am Olabayo Onile-Ere and I am one of the admins that manage this awesome mailing list, I will start with an informal introduction.
I am the lead developer at Hotels & Perks: www.hotelsnperks.com. I have been programming for a while but I recently picked up python ( about 1.5 years) and? I must say it has been joy all through.
I implemented our api/backend in python, must say I have been having a lovely experience, If I had to choose all over again I would definitely make the same choice.
I hope to be able to contribute in anyway I can to the collective building of our vibrant community. I am encouraging everyone to also send an informal introduction so we can get to know a bit about us the python way (smiley..).
Going forward I would love for us to maximize this mailing list by using it as a tool to drop feedback, comments or suggestions, events, news, anything python that you want the community to access.
Again I say welcome to everyone, it is a real pleasure being a part of something as refreshing, creative and productive as this python community.?
A big thank you to Naomi, Aisha and every python enthusiast here and everywhere.
Have a beautiful day everyone and stay awesome.

am off and on in python but I know with motivation from pythonistas here I
will reach my desired goal and which am hoping to use in building
application for my project.
Also I welcome anyone that will love to be part of the project which focus
on Disaster Management, Crime and Threat Quick Alert and Respond. Thanks to
Aisha and Naomi cos their posts are what make me still on and appreciate

 DjangoGirls Lagos and the Python-Nigeria Community
Message-ID: <CABsUhZdeT8rCHrjgspFGvDj=GOW0qRGhkF0mudEd7OhRRWvHgQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Pythonistas,

My name is Aisha Bello. I am currently studying for a master's in
Information Technology. I have been a DjangoGirl since July this year which
was my first ever encounter to the beautiful world of Python. I am also
doing my dissertation in the field of Data Minning and Machine learning and
trying to predict future customer's profile of a hotel using Open source
data mining tools and definitely implementing in Python :D. Among other
things I am a Tech and Python community enthusiast and I am also helping to
co-organize a DjangoGirls event in Windhoek at the PyCon Namibia happening
in January, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you all.

DjangoGirls which is a global not for profit organization is focused on
teaching women the basics of programming by learning how to build a website
in #Html #CSS #Python and #Django. Since Inception in 2014 it has been held
by volunteers all over the world in 51 countries, and I am excited that we
would be hosting our first workshop in Lagos on the 20th of February with a
pre-install party on the 19th.

I would love to say thank you for all the positive feedback and support I
have gotten from everyone here and I look forward to further
correspondence. If you would like to be a mentor or knows a company who
would like to sponsor the event find more details at
www.djangogirls.org/lagos

On Community, I am really passionate about growing the community and
promoting python in Nigeria. Because I have your support; on the footer of
the website, and also on the sponsorship proposal I have added that we have
the support of the Nigerian Python community, and put a link to the mailing
list on the website, hopefully that would provide more publicity for the
list, so all passionate Nigerian Pythonistas can converge in one place and
we can share ideas on how to move the community forward. After the
DjangoGirls event we would have a thank you dinner for the coaches, I was
thinking we could make it into the first meet and greet of the Nigerian
Python Community and even if you can't be there to coach you can join us
afterwards for the dinner. A round table discussion on everything community
would be a very good way to startup. If you all are interested then we
could talk more about it. I also plan on using all DjangoGirls platform to
promote the Nigerian Python community via social media and to more groups I
intend to reach out to.
I am making other plans to submit a proposal at the PyCon Namibia
conference about the Nigerian Python Community and DjangoGirls
*fingersCrossed*. You all would agree that we have a beautiful story to
tell as to how this came, about and I am more than happy to tell it,
reaching out to other Nigerian pythonistas and garnering support and
awareness from the Python community in other parts of Africa and in the
globe as a whole. And who knows we might just be hosting the newest Python
conference in Nigeria in a not too distant future. More importantly is to
come up with ways on how to promote Python in Nigeria from the ground level
up and using the power of code to change Nigeria as a whole, like what code
for Nigeria is doing for primary and secondary school students among others.

There's more to be said but I should stop here, apologies for the really
long email *bad habit*. Many thanks for your time and I am looking forward
to further talking and meeting all of you in person really soon :)

Dear Nigerian Pythonistas,

It's been really quiet here and I was wondering where all the Nigerian
python community supporters and enthusiasts were.

This past week has been awesome needless to say. First of My proposal to
PyCon Namibia was accepted and I would be telling our story to an audience
of global community of Pythonistas in Windhoek, Namibia about DjangoGirls
Lagos and the Nigerian Python community.

Git Hub is proudly sponsoring our event and are giving our 30 attendees and
10 coaches(40) free 1 year coupons to GitHub micro plan which includes 5
private repositories which is valued at $84/year. I guess I don't need to
emphasize what tremendous value this is. Also sending e-hugs and a shout
out to Naomi Ceder who is backup admin of this list and PSF board member
for all her support. She is DjangoGirls Lagos official cupcakes
sponsor.....*yaaay*

The final awesome news. So I attended the TEDxEuston conference and met
Mark Essien C.E.O of hotels.ng after his inspirational talk at the
conference. I spoke to him about the Django Girls event and the Nigerian
Python community (I didn't even know before he was a pythonista :D) I told
him about the community conversations and how we intend for DjangoGirls
Lagos coach's dinner to also be the first gathering of the Nigerian Python
community. There and then he expressed interest in attending and added the
date of the event to his Calendar. This is awesome news as asides being an
awesome networking event for Nigerian Pythonistas it will also be a source
of inspiration to the women who would just be beginning their journey with
learning how to code

For everyone who has indicated their passion to support to DjangoGirls in
Lagos please register as a coach here https://djangogirls.org/lagos/#coach
and be one of 10 mentors to 3 women during the workshop. Also if you would
like your company to sponsor us please shoot me an email or forward your
inquiries to lagos at djangogirl.org

I would close with this few words "Do you want to be a participant or a
spectator in the growth of our community as a tool to better Nigeria" "The
world needs dreamers and the world need doers but what the world really
needs is Dreamers who Do". I want to encourage everyone already hereto take
time out of their very busy schedule to introduce themselves, drop comments
and suggestions for the community and let's get the ball rolling. It would
really be sad to see *the Nigerian factor* come to play here.

Wishing you all a great week ahead.

Hi,

I am Tosin Animashaun, a Pythonista, computer programming enthusiast, a
student at NIIT, and a budding entrepreneur.

Through the year, I have worked mostly in Python, using the Flask web
framework, which I consider more beginner friendly. So I would be glad to
contribute my little quota towards helping build a Pythonic community here
in Nigeria, in my spare time.


You can find me on IRC:

   - server:        irc.freenode.net
   - channels:    #pocoo, #python, #dgplug
   - nick:           acetakwas

Or follow me on Quora:
https://www.quora.com/profile/Tosin-Damilare-James-Animashaun?share=1


Regards,

Tosin Animashaun

Subject: [python-nigeria] Can we have an active IRC channel and host
 sessions?
Message-ID: <CALnZ9TJ8CtOsy-UxAoRMWkeCc9sLsWxjWJH4OZHEP5oS5QCj8g@mail.gmail.com>

In the summer of 2014, I was opportune to learn about the on-line
(IRC-based) sessions being organized by a local community of Python
programmers in the Durgapur area of India, the Durgapur Linux Users Group
<https://dgplug.org/>

Being an enthusiast, I immediately filled out the registration form, and
joined the classes as scheduled. It was a really profound and rewarding
experience for me, as it truly deepened my knowledge in the Python
programming language.

Seeing as the program benefited quite a number of burgeoning developers, I
would like to suggest that we organize something of that sort here in
Nigeria as well.

Some benefits of doing this on IRC include:

   - Savings on data usage as IRC is text-based, and obviously quicker
   communication time.
   - Everyone can be connected using almost any device, since there are
   also IRC clients on smartphones.
   - People learn how to use IRC in the process. IRC is essential for
   getting on-demand help on lots of topic areas.

*Link to DGPLUG's summer training website:*
https://dgplug.org/summertraining15.html

Following this, two questions stand out:

   1. *Can we have an IRC Channel?*
   2. *Can we organize such an IRC-based class?*

Tosin Animashaun

I'm Chukwudi Nwachukwu, iChux for short. I started coding in Python in 2004 and have never looked back since then.

I once helped in the review of wxPython Application Development Cookbook by Packt Publishing in 2010. I would have also been involved in the next revision but for tight schedules which made me drop out of it.

My daytime job involves working with Flask framework to produce wonderful cloud-based applications.

I have had to work with APIs, both third party and in-house built ones to develop my applications, and I develop APIs too.

At present, I'm working on a multitenant, one user one DB, application that will integrate all major payment APIs in Nigeria. It will also have cloud-based APIs to connect to it.

I love tinkering with open source codes to known how I can squeeze the best out of it, and thanks to my IDEs.

I am able to deploy to both Nginx (Ubuntu) and Apache (Windows and Ubuntu) and have them talk with each other in a seamless manner. All my applications can scale out based on my deployment scenarios.

I look forward to meeting the admins of this list to push this group and Python development to greater heights in Nigeria. I want Nigeria to also organize PyCon Nigeria.

I got to know of this list through Naomi Ceder. Thanks

Dear All,

With permission vested on me by @Bayo (
http://radar.techcabal.com/users/Bayo/activity) I am sending out this email
to help us get acquainted with what we have discussed so far: about meeting
up to chat the way forward for Pythonistas in this clime.

If you have the opportunity of reading this email, please go through this
link
http://radar.techcabal.com/t/python-the-community-and-my-first-post/3346/14
and let us know what you think about a meetup in Ikeja, Lagos.

@Bayo would love for at most 50 people to be involved in this meetup, and
he has generously supported it too. He has promised to help out in some
ways however there are other things involved like "date & time, session
theme/agenda as well as refreshments".

Please let us start discussing these things to make it come to past.

Hi Tosin, I think the IRC channel is a good idea we should look into,
including another IRC channel for python based classes. I think we would
definitely need to start with creating a working PSF group to promote
python in Nigeria, then there would be a group of people working to
implement good ideas like this. I am sure Naomi can help us with getting
started. But that would definitely be something that could be discussed
further at the meetup of Nigerian Pythonistas coming soon. Bayo is planning
a lite meetup really soon.

@Humphery it's a pleasure to virtually meet you. Thanks for reaching out. I
think I speak on behalf on the soon to be launched *Nigeria Python User
Group* that we would love to establish links too, work together, and
support each other in promoting Python in Africa as a whole on common
ground. I look forward to seeing you and @Loek at PyCon Namibia

@Adewale thanks, our dreams sure is valid. Welcome to the community and if
you can feel free to register as a volounteer to mentor at DjangoGirls

Warm Regards,
Aisha Bello

Hello Pythonistas,

Hope you are all having a great weekend?. This past week we got featured by
a popular Nigerian blogger's
http://www.stelladimokokorkus.com/2015/12/applications-to-first-free-djangogirls.html#more
and
there was an announcement on Inspiration FM 92.3 by OAP Rufai Oseni during
their empowerment series program :). We've had lots of amazing applications
since then, from really enthusiastic, passionate women and girls wanting to
get into the Tech sphere.

My Dilemma :( ? We are still looking for passionate pythonistas like
yourselves to volunteer their time to mentor these women who are really
eager to get into technology. So this is a subtle appeal to anyone who
would like to coach on the day of the workshop #BeAHero. Do fill in the
form here https://djangogirls.org/lagos/#coach
And for everyone who has indicated interest in mentoring and have taken the
time out of their very busy schedule to fill the form and commit to
mentoring. A massive thank you and E-hugs.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.....

Hi Everyone,
This is a reminder to our beautiful community of two splendid events ahead, first is the upcoming Django Girls Workshop and second is the lite meetup we are in the process of setting up.
For our Django Girls Workshop we are in need of coaches who will give support to attending participants by way of taking them through the setup/installation of python plus one or two other requirements (Django etc), to the support and mentoring needed to take the participants through one or more tutorials. Who knows as coaches we might learn one or two things from our participants/workshop that will help us in writing our next killer app.
Secondly I want to appreciate everyone for their commitment and support for the community, in light of the planned meetup we suggested that we come up with a date, agenda and mode of refreshment.?
I will go ahead and drop my first contribution which is in relation to the agenda for the meetup.?- I would love for us to discuss on creating an open source project which the whole community can build/contribute to, off the top of my head I have messaging in mind. This is just an exercise to encourage collaboration, it could be something one of us is already working on and we could all work on it together.
More suggestions from me soon.
Thank you all and have a grand evening.

Hello Everyone,
I hope you all do have a wonderful weekend?
First of all concerning Django Girls Workshop I think Aisha should let us
know how many coaches we have that had sign on and to possibly see how we
can organize a brush up or familiarization lecture before the main Workshop
and or maybe if our lite meetup will be held before the workshop we can use
the opportunity also to discuss that.
Secondly I have a project that we can use to wet our Feet in making
our first killer app that will assist the populace and it's a not for
profit project whereby using open source will be better as Olabayo
Onile-Ere suggested though we are waiting for more suggestions but just
making mine.
Lastly I appreciate every one of us for the Support, Commitment and the
Upliftment we wish for the Community which I know we'll see the fruits in
couple of months to now.
Thanks once again for helping me rekindle the love I have for Python
Programming and the Open Source Communities Generally.
I wish us a blessed and fulfilled week ahead.

Dear All,

My name is Loek van Gent. I'm from The Netherlands. I signed up for this
mailng list a few months ago. I was looking for Python communities across
Africa. This was one of the few groups around. Months passed by without any
post to this list.
I'm very excited to see how things are now starting to blossom.

The projects I run use Django. The Django (and Python) community in The
Netherlands and Europe is a very awsome one. Everyone is always trying to
help each other and to share the knowledge.

Because of this I joined Python Namibia this year and will do so next
January. I am eager to help out fireing up the Python community in Nigeria
in any way I can.

I currently work for 1%Club https://onepercentclub.com/en/. We're a
crowdfunding platform for small projects all over the world. Next year we
want to set up a website targeted at Nigeria too. That involves connecting
to Nigerian payment systems.

I will meet Aisha in Namibia next month, but I'm sure I'll meet some of you
in the coming year be it online or in person!

Good luck to you all and know that you have lots of support, not only from
me but from Pythonists around the world!

Kind regards & keep coding!

Loek

Hello,
I appreciate the good work Aisha and co are doing trying to promote the use
of Python in Nigeria but i have some reservations about the means being
used i.e. Django.

In a world long long ago, as a newbie trying to get into web development
without using PHP I settled on Python and decided to try Django because of
all the hype. As a newbie it was terribly hard to understand and confusing.
I ran away with so much speed that my feet touched the back of my head.

Aisha, have you considered having the newbies take up either Flask or even
web.py as a first framework before moving onto something more complex like
Django? I know my advice might sound contrarian but not everyone is smart
enough to understand Django as a first web framework of choice.

Just my 2 cents, you dont have to take it because its really small.

@Olabayo thanks for the support and call to action. An open source
community project seems like a really cool way to start, I guess to make it
more interesting people can give pitches on the open source projects they
would like the community to work on and we could put it to a vote by show
of hands or e-voting.
For my suggestions as regards agenda I would like to add discussions about
the creation of an active psf group for promoting python in Nigeria, and
brainstorming on different ways to actively promote python in Nigeria. For
dates: Has any dates been selected for the meetup if not which dates is the
venue free. I suppose a good time might be either on a Saturday or in the
evening during the week after work. For Refreshments I am not sure how it
will work I guess there are two ways to it: 1) A kind hearted Individual or
company could sponsor refreshments 2) everyone brings a refreshment as a
contribution which could range from Wine/Juice, to plastic cups, crisps/
biscuits e.t.c If everyone chips in a refreshment I am sure it could be
covered. My suggestions though......

@Olamilekan Thanks for airing your concerns. Currently we have somewhat 8
coaches, somewhat because there is a 1 maybe, so technically 7 coaches. As
regards brushing up on Django there is the DjangoGirls tutorial
http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/index.html
while during the workshop the attendees will be going through the tutorial
you as their mentor will be there to explain things that are unclear and
help them if they run into errors. As for brushing up you can do so with
the tutorial, we're not asking you to be a Django expert, but the deal is
you know more about programming than any of the attendees under your mentor
ship and you can work with them in figuring it out. Usually how it works
is, even after 10 coaches there are usually about 2-3 meta coaches who have
more experience in Django and will be there to help out whatever problem
the coach's might not be able to handle. More so, we encourage DjangoGirls
attendees who have attended the workshops to volunteer as coaches because
they learn something new each time and while teaching others they get
better. I'll be happy to answer more questions.

mErgencyNG sounds like it will bring about the much needed social change
and looks like a possible interesting open source project.

@Loek I sure can testify to the awesomeness of the Python/Django community.
We will definitely appreciate and welcome your help in helping setup the
Nigerian python community. Looking forward to PyCon Namibia

@Eigie I do understand your concerns and I must confess it can be quite a
bit challenging at first. That's why among other things we stress
mentorship even after the workshop; also we take the pressure off and
simplify the learning process by creating a really friendly and vibrant
atmosphere for the attendees *No Pressure*. If you've gone through the
DjangoGirls tutorial you might see what am referring to. Among other things
we intend to equip our attendees with a community they can always turn to
for support in walking through the learning curve. Again, we will be
gathering amazing learning resources for attendees this is asides the
Djangogirls tutorial. For example, Tracy Osborn is sponsoring our attendees
with the 'hello web app' book written in a simplified easy to learn Django
even for someone with no technical background. I am also currently making
plans to create a meetup group so attendees if they choose to after the
workshop can continue learning with the community for example 2hrs a week
something like what Temi Adeoye is presently doing
http://www.meetup.com/lagos-python-meetup/events/226773912/
What I discovered in learning as a newbie myself is nothing beats having
people to learn with, and a mentor always willing to help you answer
questions or explain difficult concepts. With all of these and many more we
hope to really simplify learning for attendees and ensure they are having
fun in the process. And another thing I might add is, it is more really
about introducing them to the endless possibilities of the Python Language.
I for one although learnt Django and find it useful but I am diverting to
PyData for data mining & machine learning . The idea is using Python to
harness what you are already passionate about, so in learning the basics
during the workshop they can see and take advantage of the general purpose
nature of Python. Hopefully I answered your questions, do feel free to let
me know if I missed anything.

@Chukwudi cool I didn't know about the nairaland post...Yaay!!! for
publicity. We should probably write to Linda Ikeji too.

Hope everyone is having an awesome-tastic week so far?

Hello Aisha,

Keep up the good work. Have you considered creating a media kit for
publicity of DjangoGirlsLagos. I know that socially responsible media
platforms won't mind giving some coverage - just a matter of how you
ask.

I'm willing to help out if needed

Warm regards

@Aisha,

The nairaland post is the little I can do. Talking about Linda, who would
be assigned to send her a mail?

@meetup things
I suggest that the date to be chosen not be first Friday or Saturday in a
month because of traffic issues that characterizes Ikeja/Secretariat axis.
These days, for those who do not know, are usually used by two religious
bodies as their days of special worship and it leads to a lot of traffic
issues on Lagos Ibadan expressway.

For refreshments, I suggest we give generously through a pledge that the
person who said it would be willing to fulfill. When we gather this, we
would know what type of meal that would be made available.

If we leave it to people coming with what they can afford, that is equally
OK, but the people involved should also indicate what they would bring so
that we can take stocks. How about a Google doc to collate the things for
the meetup?

I also would suggest, for our meetup, how about those of us who know
technologically driven companies that could be of help. We do not want to
be called bad names so we leave out those that are into politics and
concentrate others.

Does anyone know how to get across to Seun Osewa by mail? He used to
communicate with me in the past but has stopped. I know that nairaland.com
was developed with CherryPy. Seun is also a Pythonista but I do not know if
he would want to come out. I guess Mark Essien of hotels.ng might be able
to do that (@Aisha, can you handle this aspect?).

All I have said here are my personal opinion and can be corrected.

@Chukwudi I just sent a mail to Linda, so hopefully she posts it on her
blog *fingers crossed*

As regards refreshments since it's the first meetup I think it will
probably be a good idea not to rely heavily on a monetary pledge. I don't
know how responsive people might be. With my experience with events if
there isn't any company available then it might be worth asking people to
pledge what they might be able to afford to bring on the day  which could
range from a box of pizza to a pack of juice or even plastic cups. No
pressure and every little counts. The google doc might be a way for people
to drop what they will like to contribute not necessarily of monetary value
but in form of things. *but that's still my opinion*

I really don't know about Seun Osewa. I told Mark Essien about this mailing
list so hopefully he is aware of the conversation of the meetup. I guess I
could ping him to tell him about the lite meetup being planned just in
case.
But I guess a date still needs to be fixed and all planning needs to be
underway and followed through then inviting other pythonistas with a
specific date, time and agenda becomes easy *still my opinion*

@Wale forgive my ignorance about the media kit for publicity. All I have
going is a poster and a press release statement. I will definitely
appreciate your help in coming up with ways to get coverage.

Greetings,
Aisha Bello

Hello guys.
My name is Lekan.
Am a student of part one OAU and i host a Python Club on campus.
I saw the post and shared it in my club and quiet a number of people felt
it was a good idea and are ready to attend.
But i was wondering , dont you think it will be better to host a PyCon
first?

Hello Lekan,

Nice to have you on here. Kudos to you on setting up a Python Club in your
Uni, I will really like to hear more about it.

If you are referring to the meetup I think it's an awesome opportunity to
meet fellow Pythonistas in a less formal setting to hear about what great
works are already being done in Nigeria that some of us aren't aware of.
This will be a good way to garner support from others and we can all
harness our individual strengths. One of the things I definitely hope will
be spoken about in the meetup is hosting a PyCon, but that can only be done
by first having a subset of people who will be a part of the working PSF
group to promote python in Nigeria. If we just jump right at hosting a
PyCon then that might pose a big problem. At the moment nothing is being
coordinated and to host a pycon we need a number(not many) of people
willing to take full responsibility and actions to make it happen.

As per the lite meetup Bayo and Chukwudi were planning am not sure how the
preparations are going hopefully they will update us soon.
For DjangoGirls Coach's dinner it's going to happen on the 20th of February
immediately after the DjangoGirls event. it's also going to include the
gathering and meetup of Nigerian Pythonistas. You and your Pythonista
friends are also welcome to attend. I you've got any more questions do not
hesitate to ping me.

Happy holidays everyone,

Wishing our very young community greater works and higher heights in 2016
doing all things awesome with Python in Nigeria.

during the holidays. My sincere apologies to graphic designers in the house

Hi Everyone,

I missed you guys even if it sounds like a lambda (pun intended), I wish us the best in the remaining part of the year and more productivity in the year ahead, and on that note I want to drop some resources I feel might be useful to all web and mobile entrepreneurs in the house.
