[Baypiggies] This month's talk: BayPiggies Diversity Night

[Jeff Fischer]

*Thursday October 26, 2017 7:00 pm*

Python, an easy-to-learn programming language that is also used for many
sophisticated applications, is a great starting point for bringing people
into tech careers. This gives us the opportunity to reach out to
underrepresented groups and build a vibrant community.

For our October meeting, we will have a number of short talks to celebrate
the diversity of the Python community. These will range from narratives of
personal experiences, to career advice, to technical topics. We have an
exciting list of speakers. We hope you will join us!


*Speakers*

   - *Karen Dalton* - Strategies for Making People Feel Welcome in Tech
   - *Paula Alves* - How to contribute to open source software as a Python
   beginner, and why you should do it
   - *Marilenis Olivera Lee* - Victories and struggles of an
