I've been contacted by Pablo and I'm looking forward to get involved
somehow . This is the event I was talking about before , and includes
similar activities related to Node.js and other open technologies .
Indeed it's a free software conference. It would be great if some
Python sub-event could be incubated in that context , as an
intermediate step looking forward to the ultimate goal of the
Python-Cuba WG .

Considering that this has already been mentioned in this context , in
November monthly meeting some people (including Pablo and me) were
engaged in explaining to the audience the experience we lived during
Startup Weekend Havana 2015 . We both had other appointments and
people to talk to . We were even approached by a reporter , etc . So
we had little time to talk, during which he put on the table the
subject of contacting the WG and prepare a call for speakers . I
thought this was consistent with goal 1 in the WG charter [2]_ but I
have not been able to see him face to face since then. Is this
feasible/possible ?

The event is sponsored by BOOT e.V. (Germany) amongst others , though
I did not want to disclose any details before talking to Pablo
directly ... which is in my schedule for next week as well .
