<p class="MsoNormal">The company I work for (Bank of America) is looking to become a more active member of the Python community. Those of you who attended this month’s Python Dojo at our Canary Wharf offices will have seen our first efforts at giving-back to
Python.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A manager has asked me to report back with some ideas about other things we might do, for example we might host meet-ups, help fund Python Foundation initiatives, sponsor conferences or important open-source projects.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment I’m just trying to generate some ideas that will be presented to our management next week. There’s no requirement other than the project should be beneficial to or help grow the Python community.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All suggestions welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the way, there are at least 2 of our roles currently advertised on the Python.org jobs board. I know they are both current, so do check them out if that sort of thing interests you.<o:p></o:p></p>
