[Python-cuba] Fwd: Fwd: [PSF-Members] Python Cuba working group

[David Mertz]

Thank you Pablo.  I've added you to the working group/mailing list.  I
think I just accidentally omitted you on initial creation, but hope you're
OK with being there.  Let's use the list address to have the archives and
make sure we don't miss anyone.

Great initial efforts.

Hello everyone!

I'm really happy about seeing this begin to take some shape and you can
definitely count on me to help a first Python event in Cuba become a
reality.

I have Cuban colleague that I am working with remotely, and we had the idea
of organizing a small PyDay next year when I visit him ( that will be
around a year from now).

In the meantime, some other cuban developers have started their own plans
to develop a local community, I have already contacted some of them and
offered help:

If you want we can have a hangout or chat one of these days to define some
lines of action to start with.

Thanks David once again for turning this into a serious thing ;)
