Hi !<br>
:)<br>
<span><br>
> Anything to add to the report for the last month?<br>
><br>
<br>
</span>I am not very familiar with the mechanics of reporting ... but , in<br>
spite of creating a favorable and open atmosphere , I'll sketch what<br>
I'm starting to do this side , even if there are not yet real results<br>
that can be shown . Progress so far has been really limited (I've been<br>
quite busy these days) . I'm planning to start moving a bit faster<br>
starting next week<br>
<br>
1. I've contacted some local groups in Havana and they have WELCOMED<br>
(<= yeah with capital letters ;) the idea of encouraging the<br>
participation of speakers talking about subjects related to Python .<br>
Monthly meetings are already happening so the goal here is more likely<br>
to look for people working with Python-powered techs and/or keen to<br>
prepare talks about related subjects .<br>
<br>
2. I'm trying to contact friends in Camagüey , Villa Clara and Holguín<br>
so as to know what's going on there and encourage the organization of<br>
similar meetings . I'd also like'em to travel to Havana City to<br>
participate in the aforementioned monthly meetings , and vice-versa<br>
i.e. motivate people living in Havana to travel to other provinces . I<br>
look forward to suggestions aimed at adding provinces like Cienfuegos<br>
, Sancti Spiritus and Granma , which are traditional regions for<br>
development of Informatics (<- so I refuse to believe that nothing is<br>
happening there ...) .<br>
<br>
3. As an intermediate step towards the organization of the first PyCon<br>
, I'm looking forward to explore (with other colleagues, who are<br>
trying to make this happen) the possibility of incubating a sub-event<br>
dedicated to Python within another conference with much broader scope<br>
. ETA -> next year .<br>
<br>
4. Looking forward to organizing a Python conference in Cuba I have<br>
been contacting some people but still need to meet some others . It's<br>
too early to disclose any further details beyond these , but I have<br>
quite a few concrete ideas to figure out how to sort out some<br>
obstacles and work towards establishing a concrete and realistic<br>
schedule for organizing a Python conference in Cuba next year .<br>

><br>
<br>
</span><ot><br>
I'm hoping there are any Cubans already subscribed to this list . Is<br>
there any way we can meet any time this month (i.e. December 2015) ?<br>
