>> If you would like to know more you can check the hashtag #PyConNa on

>>
>> Secondly, my talk amidst my personal journey also centered on getting

>> <https://speakerdeck.com/aishab/my-journey-through-python-1>. After the

Dear Lekan,

I am afraid you have misunderstood the concept of DjangoGirls and the role
the Lagos workshop hopes to play in the Python Nigeria meetup.

For clarity purposes: The workshop itself is meant for girls/women
attendees that would be learning how to code in python, our coaches are a
mix of both male and female mentors. This workshop ends on the 20th of
February 4:30pm.
After the workshop ends, the coach's thank you dinner would start around
6:00pm.

The coach's dinner is intended to double up with the Nigerian Python meetup
where all Nigerian pythonistas are welcome to attend regardless of their
gender, as it is a separate agenda from the DjangoGirls Lagos workshop.

I hope I have cleared the air. If you have any more questions don't
hesitate to ask. More details will suffice when blanks like the venue &
other logistics has been sorted.

On a final note congratulations on the plan to host a DjangoGirls workshop
in OAU which would take place in April. If you need any advice or help with
organizing don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Aisha Bello

Dear Lekan, Aishia and others,

Wow! Two DjangoGirls workshops in Nigeria within 3 months. This is good
news!
Good to here the 'boys' are welcome too after the workshops.
I found that at PyCon the combination with the DjangoGirls worked pretty
well!

Keep up the good work you all. Know that many of the people involved in
PyCon Namibia are willing to help out with a major Python event in Nigeria.

Cheers,
Loek

Dear Pythonistas,

I hope this meets everyone well. Here's bringing more news from the stables
of LasGidi :)

The Python- Africa mailing list I earlier spoke about that was born out of
PyCon Namibia is up and running. To subscribe to the list:
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-africa "African Python
Users group -- Linking African Python Efforts, because We are Stronger
Together" The plan is to connect all pythonistas in various African
countries passionate about driving growth in Africa through Open source.

DjangoGirls Lagos: We unveiled our Mentors for the workshop, and here's an
official and massive shout out in honor of our mentors
<https://djangogirls.org/lagos/#coach> who will take the whole day out of
their very busy schedules and other commitments to mentor over 30 girls/
women. Thank you still to everyone who have contributed in one way or the
other to making the workshop a success. For all our collective efforts our
first DjangoGirls workshop will be #Awesome thanks to everyone in our
community.
On a lighter note I got featured in the International DjangoGirls blog in my
Django story
<http://blog.djangogirls.org/post//your-django-story-meet-aisha-bello> where
I mentioned our community :D *a few times*

Just the way everyone came out here and lent a voice and helping hand to
the Lagos event let's replicate the same for te DjangoGirls workshop in
Ile-Ife. I am sure Lekan Wahab would update us here when he needs our help.

Python Nigeria meetup: I am trying to finalize a venue for the meetup
before the week runs out and I would be in touch on how to register for the
meetup.

On the Agenda for the Meetup I had a brief meeting with Bayo and we came up
with a few pointers for the agenda and he would be posting soon the
schedule so we could agree add or subtract if need be. Among other items on
the agenda mentioned was PyNigeria, 5 minutes lightening talk/Pitch on open
source projects anyone would like the community to collaborate on, setting
up a committee for the Python Users group, A website et.al.....

On a completely un-related to python note I came across this article by OONwoye
on an open source project Nigeria needs
<http://oonwoye.com/2016/01/16/postcode/> I found myself agreeing with the
fact that there is a need for a postcode system that would be implemented
in Nigeria. Any thoughts? Maybe I could ask if they were implementing in
Python we could join in :D

Thoughts, Ideas e.t.c are highly welcome. Until I come your way with more
news have a pythonic week ;) and I look forward to meeting a lot of you in
our meetup next Saturday.


Kind Regards,

Aisha Bello

Its really nice Aisha is doing everything possible to keep this mailing
list active.

Concerning the location/postcode api, I suggest we look at how fedex came
up with their internal code system for the different states in the country.
I happen to come across their excel doc containing their code system. I
just uploaded the csv containing this information.

The implementation / coding process won't really be an issue because a
framework like geodjango is very suitable for this kind of project. The
main hurdle to cross is getting the shapefiles for all the different
vicinities/postcodes/areas in the country. The current publicly available
shapefile for the country is grouped by administrative regions (LGA) which
I think is too broad.  These are my thoughts and suggestion.

@Aisha,

Well done for the wonderful job of organizing a meetup and a tutorial for
the teeming women population that have registered. I would also like to
welcome you back from your trip. I read your interview link and all I can
say is "Keep moving", you'll get to your destination in no distant time.

The postcode idea is a good one and I would love to contribute my quota to
it, if possible. I have joined the Python Africa group, it's cool in the
sense that there is not particular framework being discussed: just
Pythonistas.

@Lekan Wahab, how are thing going on with you and your team. Could you
please enlighten with any updates as per organizing DjangoGirls in Osun
State.

Finally, I'm looking forward to the meeting agenda.

Dear Pythonistas,
it is really great to be a part of this community. Nice to meet everyone of you.
I must really commend Aisha for the news, news and more news as well as the effort she is putting in keeping the forum alive. Well done Aisha.?
Knowledge of programming is the one of the most sought after skill in the world today and our dear country lacks behind in this area. As a community, i am wondering how we can be of help in promoting the knowledge of programming to the younger generation via workshops, bootcamps etc or whatever means we can think of. Please suggestions would be highly welcome.
Thanks and have a great weekend ahead.?Best Regards,
Bright

Re: Agenda for the Meet up
I think we should consider getting the following on the agenda:

1. Getting incorporated as an association/club with the Corporate Affairs Commission(lawyer's job actually)

2. Strategic plan for the next one year(towards PyconNG 2017); should include a 'test' event to assess preparedness and initiate vital linkage and partnerships.

3. We can do it all. And more

Hello awesome Community, I have just wrapped up a few major tasks I had on my plate but I am sure glad I have this community where I can throw a pythonic tantrum lol, just kidding. As we know our lite meetup is here already and this mail contains a draft of our intended agenda, please go through and voice your thoughts, flesh the list out etc. The meetup will be for an hour and a half (20th Feb - Saturday) at the CCHub (http://cchubnigeria.com).
We will be limiting this to 30 attendees (not counting coaches) because of the space limitation and it will be available through a link to an eventbrite registration page which will be sent to the mailing list ASAP, but hopefully the next one will have no such constraints.?
Note: Registration is not required for coaches in the Django Girls Workshop.
Gracias to CCHub, and you guys for making this day happen. Will be expecting your generous feedback ASAP.

Agenda Draft
General and brief introduction of the python mailing list, its members as well as attendees of the meetup, plus a short presentation outlining the community?s goals and general aspirations to be met.
Introduction of one or two notable pythonists amongst us and a 5 mins talk to sound out their experiences in the Nigerian tech space and also drop one or two words of encouragement.
Discussion on the feasibility, preparation and timelines for holding the first ever PyNigeria (What it entails).Setting up of a committee (To develop guidelines, planning and misc involved in organizing PyNigeria and any other projects that come up) to be nominated from a pool of volunteers?
3 - 5 mins discussions on projects being handled by pythonists, their experiences and their advice etc.
Discussion on working on a community based open source project: people submit ideas and a general vote will be drawn to pick our first major project.
Discussions on the setting up of a python slack channel or similar platform to improve engagement and communication between members.
Light refreshments (This can fall between any agreed time)
Conclusion - Meetup final notes of appreciation to our host, organizers and attendees.

On a final Note I have been working on a Startup called Hotels? & Perks and would? love for anyone with an android, IOS and blackberry device to install the app and give me any feedback and or tips for my team to note. User testing Ux Tips etc and by the way the api is running on our beloved python.
The hotel booking is active so please avoid booking for now as we don?t want any hotel receiving false positives.
One link app stores install? -? ? http://onelink.to/rnzv85
Thank you everyone Over and Out !!!

Dear Pythonistas

It feels great to be part of a community like this. I didn't know this
mailing list existed until today. Thank you, Kosy.

I just read the mail about promoting the knowledge of programming to the
younger generation and thought to offer a suggestion, however impractical
it may be.

It would be nice if we could have centres where students could go to learn
to program. They would serve not only to introduce programming to the
students (like workshops and bootcamps) but also keep them interested. They
could also offer the students the opportunity to be mentored by more
experienced developers.

I've done my best to keep this email 'above the fold' so it may lack a bit
of detail. I wouldn't providing a more detailed explanation if need be.

Thank you for this community,

Ifeanyi

Dear Pythonistas,

I sincerely apologize for my radio silence. I wouldn't bore you with any
excuses and just jump right on it. Also I apologize for my long email in
advance ;)

Biola : Thank you for your kind words. You guys make it easier with all the
encouragement I get on here. As regards the postcode do you mind sharing
the csv you uploaded that has the information for the different states in
the country. I pointed OO Nwoye the author of the blogpost
<http://oonwoye.com/2016/01/16/postcode/> to this mailing list and the
conversation he said he would do a reply on here.
Considering the current so called post code system
<http://www.nigeriapostcodes.com/> is too broad with over 10 streets having
the same postcode someone also suggested using popular organizations within
the vicinity something like a click and collect version for houses who cant
be identified, but for example a hospital about a mile away can have a tag
on it and for houses that don't even have an address yet can use the
postcode of a nearby grocery shop as a means of pinpointing their address.

Chukwudi: Thank you so much for your kind and inspiring words #NeverGiveup. The
Python Africa mailing list <python-africa at python.org> aims to bring us
African Pythonistas into one big space to promote open source solutions
that are Made for Africa by Africans. #StrongerTogether

Bright: My thank you's are in order :). It's awesome to have you here. I
totally agree that the knowledge of programming needs to be taken to the
younger generations. A few coding classes for children have started
#HourofCode <http://cchubnigeria.com/mxlab/the-2015-hour-of-code-at-cchub/>
run by CChub and Code Nigeria <http://www.codenigeria.com.ng/> co-run by
Temi Adeoye who is also part of our python community. I agree we need more
of these types of initiatives regularly run and if we can add that to our
pet project for PyNigeria in taking *Learn Python* to secondary school
children. I for one know that PyNam (The python community in Namibia) after
their first Python Namibia conference in Jan 2015 have successfully
embarked on going to various secondary schools in the country to teach
Python. We should definitely add that to our to-do list among other things
to promote python in Nigeria. What better way to go about it than teaching
our future leaders programming.

Lekan: Nice one. As a suggestion you might want to get in touch with
bloggers like Tech Cabal, tech point e.t.c with a press release. I am sure
they would be happy to spread the word.

Hello Ifeanyi it's a pleasure to have you here. you're welcome to the
community. For your idea about bootcamps and workshops I think it might be
a good idea to give a 5 minutes lightening talk about it during the meetup
if there is more to say.

DjangoGirls: Thanks to cchub for allowing us expand our capacity. We
increased the numbers to 39 attendees and 13 coaches as opposed to the
initial plan of 30 attendees and 10 coaches, we had to many awesome
applications and it was a hard choice.

PyNigeria Agenda:Here's the link to register via eventbrite
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nigerian-python-users-group-meetup-tickets-21536673771>
Like
Bayo mentioned earlier CChub was kind enough to still give us their space
for extra hours to run our meetup, but still constrained, hence DjangoGirls
coaches do not need to register again for the meetup via event brite. Only
a few days left until the 20th and I can't wait to meet many of you guys in
person. I guess my only addition to the Agenda would be to put a timeline
on the schedule, and anyone who would like to give a talk about open source
projects they would like the community to work on should get in touch with
Bayo so it can be included in the schedule for orderly purposes and so that
the final schedule can be shared here just before the meetup.

On a final note * I have been a bit worried considering the situation of
some of our attendees.* Sometimes as it is the case in Nigeria having a
laptop is a luxury to some people. Some of our attendees who have gotten
accepted to attend the workshop don't have laptops and would have to borrow
laptops to attend the workshop. Particularly one of the ladies wrote to me
how she was robbed during the last month and her laptop was stolen and was
looking to borrow a laptop for the workshop. As you know we don't have any
hardware and although this is short notice as I should have done this a lot
earlier. This is saddening because among the goals of the workshop it is
important that the attendees go back home with what they have learnt home
to continue on their learning to program journey, which might be difficult
if you have to return the laptop back to it's owner. I am soliciting to
kind hearted Nigerians via our community. If you know anyone who wants to
do away with their old or refurbished laptops or just want to help out
whichever way please do get in touch. Even tweeting or RT the appeal to
your network would go a long way in seeing that at least maybe these ladies
won't have to borrow a laptop after all and they would be equipped with the
ultimate tool(computer) in continuing in their programming journey.

*Whew* am hoping I haven't missed anything. Here's wishing everyone a
Pythonic and productive week ahead ;)

Subject: [python-nigeria] Thoughts on the upcoming meetup... and the future
Message-ID: <CAKvj0qSrSK50Aud=MUkOKTddu-4uHg1KK7oW8Hzr4dopYNzo9A@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone.

Since there are quite a few new people on this list (yay!), let me
introduce myself again. I'm Naomi Ceder and I'm a long time (since 2001)
Pythonista, Python author (Quick Python Book, 2nd Ed, working on 3rd ed),
organizer, and a vice chair of the board of directors of the Python
Software Foundation.

I'm proud to call Aisha and Chukwudi friends and I hope electronically at
least I will become friends with more of you.

I have never been to Africa, I'm sorry to say, but I'm happy that my small
involvement in this list was in getting the mailing list access going and
the admin switched to Olabayo. I'm still his backup admin, but I'm sure
we'd all be happy if one or two of you stepped forward to assist with
 that.

As I have been reading the messages on this list I've been impressed by the
insight and professionalism I've seen. You all are a great bunch and I'm
certain that you will build a solid community of Pythonistas in Nigeria.

I read the draft agenda for your first meetup and it seems very sound, but
perhaps a lot to cover. I wish the best as you meet. It's very exciting to
be in on the beginning of something, so I envy you that.

I've been meaning to post here for some time, but hadn't done it until
Aisha encouraged me to do so. Partly I firmly believe that the people in
each place are the best experts in what works for them. You all know far
better than some old lady in America what will work for you in Nigeria.

However maybe I have a few pieces of advice that may serve you. So here
goes, thank you for your patience:

   - *Be kind to each other*. The tone of this list has been wonderful, so
   keep that. Even in disagreements remember that everyone is sincerely
   striving for the same thing and be kind.
   - *Share the load*. No one has the energy and the time to do everything,
   so please take the time to put yourself out there and pitch in. All levels
   of contribution are valuable, but the ones who seek to understand the
   problems and work to fix them without prompting are priceless. Sharing the
   load is far better than having just a few do the work who then become burnt
   out and quit.
   - *Share the load*. On the other side, even if you think  you can do
   everything,  perhaps better than others, make room for people who want to
   help. No, you can't do everything, and not giving people a chance to
   contribute will drive them away.
   - *Join us*. But "us" I mean the wider Python community, in particular
   the Python Software Foundation. Connections with other communities can
   offer help in a number of ways. There are a few things you can do:
      - Join the Python-Africa mailing list to add your voice there -
      https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-africa
      - add a presence (even if it's a link to this mailing list's info
      page) for Nigeria on the Python wiki's user groups page -
      https://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups#Other_Africa
      - Become a member of the Python Software Foundation. Basic membership
      is free, just go to https://www.python.org/accounts/login/ and create
      an account and you are a basic member!
      - Join/post on the PSF-Community mailing list. All PSF members around
      the world are welcome to post and connect using that list. It would be
      great place to let the world of Python know what you are doing.
      - Become a voting member of the PSF - if you put in 5 hours a month
      (or 60 hours a year) doing Python community work (organizing, coding,
      documentation, etc) you are eligible to become a voting member. Voting
      members vote to elect the board members (like me), to accept sponsor
      companies, and on other issues of governance as they arise. The more
      diverse and widespread our voters are the more likely the board and
      governance will represent everyone and make better decisions, so
we really
      need you. The info on becoming a voting member this way is at
      http://pyfound.blogspot.de/2015/02/enroll-as-psf-voting-member.html
      - Working group. The PSF has a structure to create working groups for
      projects as needed. If you have a project or goal, we might be able to
      create a working group. Contact me for more advice on that.
      - Get funding. The PSF offers funding for meetups and conferences
      around the world. For more information on how to do this, go to
      https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ and I again would be happy to help
      out.

Wow... I'm sorry that was so long! Take it for what you will. But finally,
please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if there is some way I can
support your efforts.

Best regards,

Naomi Ceder

As far as this list is concerned, I second it. The insight put into the
breakdown is commendable. Well done bros.

Another week here, but this time we have a lot to discuss regarding the workshop and the lite meetup we had on Saturday. I guess I could use many words to say it was successful but that wouldn't do justice and I will leave that to everyone to express their own views. The workshop was awesome, I personally learnt some new things, for instance I didn't know the current Django framework came with a way to create your own virtual environment, in the past i had to install another tool to create mine. Coaches will agree with me that it was fun teaching and debugging and doing some more debugging and then finally seeing the smiles on their ?faces when their first web page covered their browsers!!! Thank you everyone for making this possible. ?
Moving on to the meetup I will do a quick rundown of what we were able to cover, ideas and tasks/initiatives that we were able to develop. Note this is a light recap and will do a more detailed one.?
Introduction of the mailing list and the role that everyone played in making it possible (its reactivation) and notably Naomi's effort in reaching out to an admin (General Python Mailing List) thus helping out immensely.
We listed the goals of our community and mentioned that we all had a part to play together to ensure its continuous growth, development and promotion of initiatives that would develop us individually and collectively.
General consensus to hold a Lite PyNigeria which would set the stage for the major PyNigeria, committee responsibleCreation of a committee responsible for planning, creation of guidelines and misc involved in developing our Lite PyNigeria as well as other projects that would be developed. Their names will be published to the mailing list and I also want to use this opportunity to thank them for volunteering.?
Creation of a slack channel for the community details will be sent to the mailing list ASAP
Open source initiative called Emergency Ng details will be sent to the mailing list ASAP
Contributions by attendees on numerous projects they were handling, pain points, ideas and their willingness to make contributions to the community in terms of open sourcing one or two products they had created. More details will be sent to the mailing list ASAP
Pardon me if this seems rushed, I will do a proper and more detailed breakdown as we forge ahead. I am also sure that many will add to what i have said or left out in error.?Thank you everyone for making my day and thank you for your constant support.?Cheers!!!

Subject: [python-nigeria] DjangoGirls Lagos and Python Nigeria Meetup: Perks
 and more
Message-ID: <CABsUhZfSm4uLFdjQkrqw+s11s44nwksh-=50pVZKST84Qp+t2g@mail.gmail.com>

Hola wonderful Pythonistas,

It's me *In Adele's voice* :D I promise to not write a really long epistle
and save you the boring details but Alas Django Girls was Awesome +
Fantastic + Amazing. The 20th of February had a lot of highlights for me.
Asides from the fact that many of you came out to support and be mentors to
the ladies I was more so thrilled and touched that someone from our very
own Py Nigeria community heard me.

In my last email I talked about how I was soliciting for old laptops for
some of Django girls who had to borrow laptops to participate in the
workshop. And I am happy to say that someone who chooses to remain
anonymous came during the Python-Nigeria meetup and donated two laptops to
the ladies *oh my, the tears of joy in the ladies eyes* would always be
imprinted in my heart. I discover many more reasons to fall in love with
the python community both home and abroad and I am humbled to be a part of
this great movement.
It was really a great pleasure to put a face to many names here during the
Python Nigeria meetup and thanks to Tosin Damilare who did a post about how
the meeting went
<http://takwas.github.io/article/python-nigeria-first-meetup.html> At this
point this also serves as the minutes of the meeting. Thanks Tosin.
On a different note **it appears we forgot to talk about registering
PyNigeria or PythonNigeria as a not for profit organization in Nigeria.**
Permit me if am wrong.

I am also working on a blog post for Djangogirls Lagos and would share that
on here in case anyone wants to know more about how DjangoGirls went; plus
official photos ;).
I am also glad that some of the girls are looking to organize a DjangoGirls
in Ogbomosho for Oyo state women......#SuperExciting
On that note I would like to make a request that DjangoGirlsOAU is still
looking for Mentors. I have encouraged many of #DjangoGirls Lagos attendees
to apply *what better way to learn more than to teach the little you know
to the next person*, So on behalf of DjangoGirls OAU I humbly request
anyone who has the time to spare to support DjangoGirls OAU by applying to
be a mentor.

Special thanks to everyone in the community who made DjangoGirls Lagos
successful, we couldn't have done it without you.

Hi Jonathan you're welcome to the community. Glad to have you on here.

And that's it for now....Until I bring you more news really soon....and
looking forward to meet you all again during our next *PyNig* *PyNigeria*
*Python Nigeria* or *Py Naija* meetup :) .....

Greetings,

Aisha Bello
