From acetakwas at gmail.com Tue Sep 13 09:44:13 2016 From: acetakwas at gmail.com (Tosin Damilare James Animashaun) Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:44:13 +0100 Subject: [python-nigeria] New Website and IT Manager Appointment Message-ID: Dear Pythonistas, I am pleased to announce that the website for our community has been launched, and can be accessed from the following URL: http://pythonnigeria.org/ Appreciations are in order to our community members who volunteered to get this up and running: notably *Biola Oyeniyi* (@b33sama) and *David Ekpo* (@ekpo-d) who did the front-end design and development; and *Kingsley Ogechukwu* (@kingsley), who earlier designed the official logo of the community. We also recognize the good intentions of Tejumade Afonja (@tejaf_) and Isaac Oluwatemilorun (@akiolisa) who showed interest in helping out as well. As members of the community, we welcome you to send contributions and/or pull requests (PRs) to make this better in any way. The Github repository for the website is at: https://github.com/pyung/community-site/tree/develop More information on this can be obtained from the *#dev* channel of our Slack . Needless to say, a working, online portal comes with a number of advantages for us as a community. Just to name a few: it puts us within easier reach of potential members; it is important for maintaining correspondence with other organizations; and it provides a go-to place to learn about the community, events, and developments. We are glad to have crossed this bridge, and we encourage everyone to keep working to grow the community. We have subsequently updated our information at https://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups#Nigeria to reflect this development. Finally, I would like to bring your attention to the appointment of Biola Oyeniyi -- one of the Board members -- as *IT Manager*. We are confident he is a right fit for the position, given his continuous show of technical know-how: from helping out community members with technical challenges to playing a vital role in bringing to life the community's first website. More good news to come your way as the Smart Girls Project in which we partner with the Carrington Youth Fellowship Initiative (CYFI) soon gets underway. We also thank all our members who have indicated interest, and have taken necessary steps towards participating. Keep been creative!
