Aida El manar El bouanani, a student of Ecole Mohammedia d’Ingenieurs, in Rabat, Morocco, is an active member of the Python African Tour project team. She has started promoting the project among the students and the school management.
Last week-end, she had the opportunity to present the project at the AfREN (Africa Research and Education Networking) meeting taking place as part of the AfNOG and AfriNIC events called “9èmes Rencontres AfNOG - 8èmes Rencontres AfriNIC”.
She reported that, after her presentation, she talked with several participants who expressed interest in the project. Participants from organizations such as:
- A research center in Egypt
- A university in Senegal
- A university in Malawi
It’s great to see such interest and we hope to quickly start organizing these local events across Africa, and help students, engineers, researchers and others discover or increase their usage of Python.
