• Python Tour in Africa discussion

Regarding Morocco

from "Kamon Ayeva" on Oct 14, 2008 04:42 AM
Hello,

I thought I would update you on this.

We will need at least one volunteer speaking french to deliver the
training, if things go well.
The planned training is "Introduction to Python", but they want to
have 2 simultaneous sessions. So one session could be in french and
the other one in english.

We have Roberto Allende and Daniel Nouri as possible english-speaking
volunteers.
Since the cost are high for Roberto coming to Morocco from Argentina,
unless we find a better solution, Roberto could switch to
participating to the South African sessions for example (when they
will be organized).
I understood Amine Souleymani might be interested too, and might be a
good candidate as the french-speaking instructor. But if Amine is
listening, he has to step up and tell us what he can propose ;)

After the training days, there will be a one day of presentation
sessions, similar to an unconference. The students of Ecole Mohammedia
are proposing to organize that day entirely which is fine. We could
then blog on the outcomes and if possible have a video of that session
to publish on the web. Aida, any comment/precision ?

After the training days, we could have a sprint with a few invited
developers and the most motivated students we will have found through
the training sessions. Nothing has been decided about this. For a
sprint, you generally need working conditions (room, network, food)
and being nice with the developers.
It would be good that this sprint be sponsored with financial
participation from companies.
So who wants to organize a 2-day sprint in Morocco, after the training
days ? As a host ? As a co-sponsor ?

Speak up and let's move on !

Best regards,
Kamon
