Hello, The Python African Tour is a project to promote the Python programming language and its ecosystem of tools and projects, in every African context where they can bring value. In particular for: Schools and Universities, Research Centers, NGOs, and Companies, and individual entrepreneurs.
Basically, we want to set up a Python training in 4 african countries every year, during 2 or 3 years. We are currently having discussions with potentially interested schools/universities in the following countries: Morocco, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa. For the success of the project, we need support from more people and organizations. You can get involved in several ways: - Host a Python training, possibly including additional specific topics such as Zope or Plone, for a group of your affiliates based in Africa. To make that happen, we agree with you on the type of training that best matches your needs, we find a volunteer and we send him to deliver the training. - Host and/or sponsor a post-training session such as a sprint, in a given country where the tour is going. This is an extension of the training, allowing us to start producing something useful with the group of people that have been trained (or a subset). - Contribute to the global project as a sponsor. For details on the sponsoring levels we have defined, check the wiki page on OpenPlans http://www.openplans.org/projects/python-african-tour/sponsorship If you want detailed information on the project, let me know and I will send you a document that summarizes the plan. Best regards, Kamon Ayeva Coordinator, Python African Tour PS: Sorry for those for whom this is not relevant. _______________________________________________ NGO mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/ngo
