Where are the pythonistas in Africa :( Okay I have news but not that many. Hopefully this will prompt most of you to share any Python related news happening in our various communities. So reporting all the way from Nigeria is the launch of PyLadies Nigeria on Saturday the 16th. PyLadies Nigeria was born out of the necessity to give an avenue for learning continuity for DjangoGirls Lagos attendees who wanted to continue learning together. Amongst other things we plan to have regular meetups at least twice a month where we all collaborate and learn together various python related topics including Robotics, Data Science, web development e.t.c..... ref: http://www.meetup.com/pyladiesnigeria/ Another amazing news is DjangoGirls Harare happened on Saturday the 9th and it was Awesome *I wasn't there physically but virtually though* Am sure when Ana and Humphery (the Organizers) are well rested they would tell us more about how it went. On PyCon ZA, I am super excited that the CFP is finally out and I am hoping we at least have 50% of other Python communities in different parts of Africa represented at PyConZA..... Wishing everyone a great week ahead....... Aisha Bello -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Where are the pythonistas in Africa :( Concerning Senegal, I can say that, there isn't a real Python community here, so there won't be lots of news coming from this part of the continent, not for now at least :\ > > Okay I have news but not that many.

Interesting, until now, I'm not really sure about what kind of informations can we share here? News? Projects? Jobs?
