[Chennaipy] Looking For a Python Resource Person

[Vijay Kumar B.]

I can help. I am available after 12th March. But to handle about 150 
people, who are new to Python we will need about 10 - 14 volunteers who 
are familiar with Python. These volunteers will help with 
troubleshooting and clarifying basic questions, during hands-on practice.

Regards,
Vijay
