Hello all, With a group of people, convinced by Python's qualities and its power in getting the job done quickly, but also interested in Africa, we are preparing a project to deliver free Python training (a bit like GeekCorps do) and promote Python in Africa: The Python African Tour. The idea behind is to bootstrap and help organize a dynamic FOSS community in Africa linked to the other communities, and instigate fast and sustainable learning among the new generation. The original plan is get sponsoring to send a volunteer trainer (or a couple of trainers) to each town in Africa where we have demand. Since, the project is at preparation stage, contribution in the form of ideas and return on experience is welcome. If you want to participate as a volunteer, local facilitator, or sponsor, check out the project page on OpenPlans.org, join or contact me. http://www.openplans.org/projects/python-african-tour Best regards, Kamon AYEVA _______________________________________________ NGO mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/ngo _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
