We now have several volunteers getting involved with Python African Tour :

  • Amine Souleymani gave a Python tutorial for the Morocco stop of the tour.
  • Daniel Nouri gave a Python tutorial (for an english-speaking group) in Morocco, and also took part to the PloneGov sprint that was organized after the training days. Daniel has accepted to be on board again for Senegal (the next stop) as a trainer.
  • Emmanuelle Gouillart will be contributing to the Senegal sessions with a Scientific Python tutorial.
  • Thomas Noel and Ousmane Wilane, our main facilitators in Senegal, are taking care of all the organization details, including finding sponsors, and will also serve as trainers. Ousmane has proposed a Django training that will really be interesting to follow.
  • I (Kamon Ayeva) will be part of the Senegal volunteers team. In Dakar, we are hoping to have at least 4 trainers, so we may deliver some of the trainings with pairs. We’ll see how it goes. 

Of course others have expressed interest in helping and they should jump in as we go. We are slowly building a geographically diverse team that can collaborate and help deliver our message in these countries where Python is often underrated or unknown.

­A big thank to all the “PAT” project contributors.
