<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm in! Actually I've been at that IRC channel for the past
couple of days and haven't seen anyone come by.</p>
<p>I'm not very active chatting but it's nice to have a place open
for discussion. One difficulty with IRC is that people don't stick
around for answers and it doesn't preserve history by default.
I've found that Matrix.Org has bridges to IRC and accommodates
bridges to other chat systems people might want. Riot.im is a nice
libre client with history - and there are others. <br>
</p>
<p>I've activated the IRC bridge to Riot.im - <br>
</p>
<p>My project is developing tools and materials for young people to
learn to code. I aim to have a full course and do workshops with
local indigenous amazonian groups and other vulnerable groups. So
I exclusively promote libre software. Also I'm dogfooding, i.e. my
unschooled children (4 and 7) are learning with our method and are
really into it.<br>
</p>
<p>Often I see educational material very anglo centric so I'm
writing my tutorials in Spanish. It would be nice to collaborate
with others as I go along (I do a lot of tooling). I am part of a
network of workshop teachers ("Python Joven") that started in
Uruguay since 2012, we did one in Colombia in 2014 and now we're
looking to continue this work.</p>
<p>I've recently gained write access to the Python wiki, we should
also add some information there. Would <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonInEducation">PythonInEducation</a>
be a good place to document joint efforts? I've embedded that
wikipage in the Riot.Im channel (optional).<br>
</p>
<p>Please start using #python-k12:matrix.org with your Riot.im /
Matrix.Org client or with plain IRC Freenode, #python-k12 !</p>
<p>I'm glad to help with some tooling for collaboration. But only if
we stay in the libre camp, if that's fair with you!</p>
Regards,<br>
Sebastian<br>
