Hi Victor, Since this request (or at least the bit about branded goods) isn't really appropriate for python-dev I am taking the liberty of forwarding this email to the PSF's administrator, who may be better placed to help. I have Bcc'd python-dev on this reply so they aren't troubled by correspondence on that topic.
I applaud your efforts to build a Python community from the ground up, and wish your efforts every success. I imagine there are other developers who feel similarly. regards Steve Steve Holden On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 8:59 PM, Victor Njunu <vnj...@usiu.ac.ke> wrote: > Dear Python, > > My name is Victor Mshindi and I am a student at United States > International University - Africa(USIU - Africa) studying Information > Systems Technology and also a member of the growing tech community.
