PyConZA

Hi all, I am just about heading home from attending PyConZA 2016 in Cape Town. PyConZA grew to over 380 attendees this year and there were quite a number of attendees and speakers from other African countries. I also understand from the organisers that, for the first time in the history of PyConZA, they had the budget to institute a structured effort to supply financial aid. More than ZAR60k was spent to help 11 people from Namibia, South Africa itself, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe to get here. I see the videos of talks are already starting to appear on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu-El65PtQm46aSbXkzykYQ if you are interested. Well done to the organisers! Organising an event like this is not easy—I hope lots of others can learn from your experience and follow your example elsewhere in Africa. All eyes now on PyZim in Harare!
