We do require some focus on Python, but if that's given at your workshops
I see no reason not to add them. These are our guidelines for entries:

Could you perhaps provide some examples ?

If you want to submit a large number of events, we'd first have to find
a good way to import the data into the calendar. Doing this by hand is
a bit tedious.
