Congratulations to Django Girls Lagos, We feel the awesomeness reading that
report :)

I think it contains some very valuable informations for any one wishing to
organize a python event in Africa. As it was also the case with Django
Girls Windhoek, there are 2 major issues one has to deal with when
organizing such event: energy and internet connection.

Maybe it's a good time to discuss about a project to solve these issues and
to encourage people to organize python meet-up and workshops locally if
there isn't any.
For the internet problem, we were discussing about a physical device setup
on the workshop's local network that would contains everything needed, from
the tutorial to the packages dependencies. Even IDEs. I don't have any
clear idea for the energy problem but all suggestions are welcome.
Let me know what you think, maybe later we can take it on GitHub.
Cheers,
-Ibrahim

>
> So I was going to do a blog post about the workshop in form of a report
> and share it on later but Iwan and Ibrahim encouraged me to do a brief
> report here pending when I get done with the article.
>
> In total we had 38 attendees and 13 coaches. Special thanks and shout out

> far and near to coach some of the attendees.
> How we did for diversity?
>  Age- We had women from age 13- 58 participate in the workshop
> Location- We had about 40 percent of attendees from Lagos and the
> remaining 60% from other Nigerian states including Osun, Oyo, Rivers,
> Taraba, Ondo, et.al.
>
>
> Challenges: So Haven helped co-organized DjangoGirls at PyCon Namibia
> <http://blog.djangogirls.org/post/139654610313/django-girls-workshop-in-windhoek-namibia> I
> learnt a lot and thought I was really prepared for our workshop. For power

> and that came in quite useful as even though there was enough ports for
> people to plug their laptops I found out that people wanted to be able to

> On Internet: I realized this was very crucial and has a way of putting
> everything to a halt when people can't push to Github or deploy to Python

> Django framework which wasn't heavy at all, but Alas I was faced with the
> fact that at about 30 minutes to the end of the workshop the backup
> internet data finished. I should have gotten more data.
> Operating System: As was a similar case in Namibia most of our attendees
> used Windows (say about 95%) and only about 2 or 3 people brought Mac, and
> there was no one with Linux.
>
> A brief Story similar to what happened to Namibia: So about just 1 week
> before the workshop I had attendees email me that they didn't have laptops
> but they were going to borrow to participate in the workshop, and one in
> particular who said she was robbed in the past month and lost all her
> valuables including her laptop but was going to borrow either way. So I
> thought to myself if there was something I could do as it would be sad to
> come to the workshop, learn all these amazing stuff and have to return the
> laptop with no easy means for continuity.
> I reached out to the Python community in Nigeria explaining my dilemma and
> even started a twitter campaign soliciting for old/ refurbished laptops
> even though it was late in the day with the theme *Help a woman continue in
> her coding journey* and also late to even think about getting Raspberry
> pi's. Imagine the delight and happiness we felt when a pythonista who wants
> to remain anonymous came to the Python Nigeria meetup and donated 2 laptops
> to our attendees. It meant that these women could go back home and even
> after returning the borrowed laptops had their own laptops to continue in
> their coding journey #Beautiful.
>
> Also special gratitude to our sponsors and everyone who made the workshop

Hi everyone,

If anyone is participating in Open Data Day (
https://medium.com/code-for-africa/open-data-day-2016-get-involved-by-joining-events-taking-place-across-africa-8d3c45f03428#.2e8evxnrd),
I'd encourage you to report back and to share your experiences on the
psf-community mailing list as well. This could be a great chance to spread
awareness of some of the great things going on in Africa.

Cheers,
Naomi

Hi all,

Maybe not very relevant, but was doodling away in Gimp and came up with a
logo.
If you like it you can use it. If you almost like it, you can improve it
(we're open source, right?)

Keep up your good spirit and spread the community!

Hi all,

It is a cool design.
I hate to spoil the fun but PLEASE do not use this logo until you check
with the PSF trademark committee. From my involvement with other
discussions about logos,  it's my understanding that such a modification of
the PSF logo might not be allowable. For more, please see
https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/

I'm on my way to work right now, but I'd be happy to explain more later if
anyone is interested.

Cheers,
Naomi

Hi Naomi,

Shoot! Forgot about that, sorry! I'm on my way now too, but will sent a
request to the applicable e-mail address later.
Sorry guys for the spoiler!

Hey all,

I contacted PSF Trademark people. The logo is not ok, because it alters the
shape of the original logo. Sorry guys!

I'll try to conjure up something else ;-)

Cheers,
Loek

Subject: [Python-africa] Python-africa Digest, Vol 2, Issue 4
In-Reply-To: <CAKBXtw9FuhqZwppCE8zOi7B-Tb_kk3pYu+PoPmuerDoeLOoBYg@mail.gmail.com>
References: <mailman.54.1457370003.5390.python-africa@python.org>

Message-ID: <CAKvj0qSBgWuA+CQn40cr7T06a1HJ5aMbBVG2P=qhr_0Tnpg1aw@mail.gmail.com>

Well, keep in mind that I'm not an expert in intellectual property law.
What I know I've learnt in discussions on the board.

Here's my understanding.

If a group, particularly a not for profit group, wants to use the two
snakes mark as it is to represent the Python language, that's fine, and
changing the colors is fine. So the mark superimposed on the map of Africa
would be fine.

The problem comes when the mark is modified, but is still being used for
something Python related. Having all sorts of variations of the mark would
weaken the mark and make it harder defend in court if someone were to abuse
it.

So we (the PSF) have to be very protective of that. It's fine to let a lot
of people use the one mark to refer to Python, but as soon as we let people
make changes and use variations of that mark, it becomes diluted and legal
defense of it becomes difficult to impossible. Basically, we can't let
people make up their own versions of the Python mark.

That may not be the best explanation of it, which is why we have a
trademarks committee with people who understand this far better than I do.
Again, I'm not the authority on this but if you want to pursue using this
logo, please check with trademark committee first. If they say it's fine,
then all is good, but if they say no, then the PSF would have to protect
the mark, with legal action if necessary.

This isn't something that the PSF enjoys, I might add. It's what the
lawyers tell us we must do to protect the Python marks and intellectual
property.

Cheers,
Naomi

Thanks for checking so quickly, Loek.

That was exactly what I was afraid of.

Hi all,

Here's a 'AfriPy' logo that is ok with PSF trademark regulations.

Cheers,

Hi Adeniji,

I don't know about the orange colour. I quite randomly picked it ;-)
Could it be the African soil that can have that colour?
It's easy to change it to another color of course, I think this fits nice
with the blue and yellow.

Cheers,
Loek

What if we inverted things and cut the Python logo out of a silhouette
of the African continent?

Hi All,

I think instead of too much deliberation on AfriPy Logo, while not find a
open source project and work on it together. A book, website, forum and or
app that will be a go to place for Africa Content Resources Centre anytime
anywhere. "The Africa Art of Python Programming".
You are welcome to critique the ideas while also giving your own suggestion.

Subject: [Python-africa] PyConZA 2016 - Call for Speakers
Message-ID: <CAPzz3han47PVpn9hmX0ZAdBafhXcxnbp23LJhcXb0gxB8dbWVA@mail.gmail.com>

PyConZA 2016 will take place 6th & 7th October at The River Club, in
Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa. There will be two days of talks,
and we will hold sprints on the 8th & 9th of October.

We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to
give a presentation, please register at https://za.pycon.org/ and
submit your proposal, following the instructions at
https://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We hope to notify accepted
presenters by no later than the 9th of September 2016.

The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10
minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible.
The presentations will be in English.

PyConZA offers a mentorship program for inexperienced speakers. If you
would like assistance preparing your submission, email
team at za.pycon.org with a rough draft of your talk proposal and we'll
find a suitable experienced speaker to act as a mentor.

In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials,
demos, sprints and open spaces.

Tutorials are intended to be more in-depth introductions to a topic
with a limited number of attendees. Tutorial sessions can be up to 90
minutes long.

Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with.

Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common
interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people
interested in the topic.

Sprints are coding efforts and hack days that happen after the conference.

There's no need to register a sprint or open space topic upfront, but
doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference.
