Hello guys,
Sorry I haven't been active in here as of recent.
School + coding + exams = No free time
So, here's a quick rundown of whats been happening in the preparation
towards DjangoGirls OAU:
1. Due to 'official' reasons, the original venue we got was handed out to
some more important people for some other event.
As such, we've had to start scouting for a new venue for the event.
Thankfully, IEEE OAU SB has generously offered to help us in subsidizing
the fee for the new venue.
2. We were recently generously sponsored by Github,and PSF for the event .
A big shutout to both of these great organizations.
3. Due to a recent shift in the school calendar that would have most of the
registered girls not be able to attend the event, we are in the process of
postponing the event to some later time where everyone can make it. The new
date would be circulated once we get it approved.
4. assume_inifinity = 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
#Yes. I know it exceeds the limit
for i in range(assume_inifinity):
print "We need MENTORS"
We all know the event really cant hold without having mentors to take these
young girls in what could possibly be the biggest turning point of their
lives. So, we are still in search of mentors. Please, make it a date with
us.
That should be all on DjangoGirls OAU for now.
Oh and Helen, you mentioned you run a Python Club on campus?
Well, i'd love to speak to you about that.
Now, for something almost as interesting.
An idea hit me recently.
Now, i was wondering if the community would love to work on writing a book
on learning Python the Nigerian way prior the time that work would start on
the open source projects.
This book i feel should highlight what it takes to be a programmer(Python)
in Nigeria. It should be like the go to book for every beginner of the
language in the country. The book would also be fun since there'd be
colloquial jabs and the whats what that makes the Nigerian English
Lingua standout.
As and added bonus, the book would come in good cause it wont code that
someone has to finish at a point in time. it could be something that you'd
go to, drop a line or a chapter and go on with something else.
Now, i already spoke to Aisha about the idea and she loved it. All we need
now is an indication of interest from the rest of you guys.
In the absence of any other information, i would love to say " Aluta
Continua, Victoria Ascerta"
😀
