[group-organizers] ChiPy's Mentorship Program

[Maria McKinley]

Wait, the Coding Dojo at PyCon happened? I couldn't find it, so thought it
was canceled. I'm bummed now.

Thanks for posting about your coding dojo. I'm working on organizing one in
Seattle, and am happy to have more information on other events! Is there a
link you can post about the one at PyCon, or how did you go about forking
it? I haven't read your post yet, so forgive me if it is posted there.

thanks,
Maria
