Hi Farell,<br>
<br>
I think it's nice you are thinking about a python training event. Where and<br>
when is the submit holding? do you have someone else who wouldn't mind to<br>
join you and help organize. It would totally be cool to introduce some of<br>
those attending the submit to the awesomeness of Python. I'm keen to hear<br>
what things you have planned or ideas.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
The next event will take place in one year, so we have time. We'll need to<br>
contact AFRINIC for that. For assistance, I would like people in the<br>
mailing list to join me in the initiative : one or two people who have<br>
experience and skills in python programming language or a Pycon event.<br>
So I suggest we broadcast a call for action on that to bring volunteers<br>
on that.<br>
<br>
