Hi all, I noticed that for US Pycon which happened in Montreal earlier this year, there was this series of activity called Sprints[1] where a group of Python enthusiasts come together and hack on some project that they are interested. In the original program, there are open source projects which participates and people can contribute to them directly.
What about trying a variant of this idea of sprints. Instead of say maybe hacking on opensource projects , we can thinking of the community as a whole coming together and creating an awesome Python tutorial which could be a collection of Ipython notebooks. Almost anyone can participate in such an activity and if everything goes well , we can point to a resource which our community itself has created for people who are new to python to learn. Community could create guidelines to ensure that the content of Notebook adheres to some quality check. Now that Github supports IPython rendering from the repository itself, i think it will be much easier for a beginner to find content quickly. This could be done fully online for a specific date or we can think of finding a venue where those who are interested can come together and create these tutorials together. I would think the latter is a better option as it is also helps in the process of community building. Like to know what you guys think.
