We have been busy planning for the first country our Tour will feature: Morocco.
Amine Soulaymani, a developer living in Morocco, and Daniel Nouri have volunteered to participate as instructors for two groups of students at Ecole Mohammedia d’Ingenieurs, the school who has accepted to host these free Python introduction events in Rabat on December 18, 19, and 20.
After the fisrt 2 days dedicated to training, we would like to have at least 3 days of community activities: an unconference-style day with demos and talks, followed by a sprint to learn more and contribute.
A group of people from Belgium, participating to the PloneGov project, have agreed to join us, and co-sponsor the sprint, to work on Plone and PloneGov related stuff.
Other possible topics, still in discussion, are:
What we need to make sure all this can work:
- A host for the sprint, since Ecole Mohammedia will only host us for the training and unconference part.
- Other co-sponsors who could put money to help assist in the travel costs of Python developers who will participate, and contribute to the work that will be done.
Contact us and let’s discuss about this opportunity to promote Python in Africa and get new developers from that continent on board !
