As you may recall, the joke fell flat for many–nonetheless, the intent to instigate a real movement toward greater communication with Cuban Pythonistas, and perhaps to someday hold a conference on the island, was fulfilled beyond the authors' expectations!</span><span style="widows: auto;"> </span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> The first step occurred in May with the formation of a Python-Cuba Workgroup, which was recognized in June by the PSF board as an official workgroup with a <a href="https://wiki.python.org/psf/PythonCubaWG/Charter">charter</a>. Since some group members already had contacts with Cuban programmers, the workgroup was able to begin a healthy collaboration. In addition, several Cuban Pythonistas made contact with us after the April 1st newsblog post. Discussion and analysis of issues, including internet access in Cuba, how to accommodate a multi-lingual group, governmental involvement and obstacles, etc., began in earnest over the summer. </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Thanks to the hard work of many, including Kirby Unger, David Mertz, Roberto Rosario, Steve Holden, Luciano Ramalho, Pablo Celayes in Argentina, Olemis Lang in Cuba, and dozens of other supporters and members, the group has recently gotten off the ground, and it looks like great things are about to happen!</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <span style="widows: auto;">Pablo Celayes deserves special mention for his efforts in involving his recently formed Python meet-up group in Cordoba, Argentina in the Python-Cuba effort (</span><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Cordoba-Python-Meetup/events/226908468/">Cordoba, Argentina meet-up</a>)<span style="widows: auto;">. Cuban developer, Alejandro Zamora Fonesca, is planning to visit Pablo and the rest of this group in Argentina this month to further discuss the growth of Python in Cuba. </span><span style="widows: auto;">We look forward to hearing about that meeting on the Python Cuba mail list. In addition, Pablo will be traveling to Cuba in January, and again in March,  and hopes to have some sort of Python event organized for that time.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Indeed, Python events were already happening in Cuba prior to the formation of our group, and those of us in the US found that there were many Cuban Python developers eager to get more involved (for example, see <a href="https://twitter.com/pythoncuba/status/618580757028605953">Twitter</a>). <span style="widows: auto;">Newer groups, such as the </span><a href="http://www.meetup.com/merchise/events/226033248/" style="widows: auto;">Merchise Start Up Circle</a><span style="widows: auto;"> in Havana, </span><span style="widows: auto;">are quickly growing and are busy planning future events. </span><span style="widows: auto;">And plans are also underway to offer workshops on Python and Django  as part of the <a href="http://www.cubaconf.org/">Cuba Free Software Conference</a>, to take place April 25 - 27.  This large, international event, sponsored by </span><span style="widows: auto;">The User Group of Free Technologies in Cuba (GUTL) and The Best of Open Techonologies in Germany (BOOT), is currently looking for speakers and mentors, so if you’re interested, please contact Pablo Mestre (pmdcuba at gmail.com).</span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> These are just a few of the many ideas that are beginning to take form, and I’ve mentioned only a few of the many people involved.

Their motto is <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">Flip bits, not burgers.</q> The students must apply to the program and are then matched up with a mentor from one of the many sponsoring organizations. The PSF has been proud to be a sponsoring organization since 2005. <span style="widows: auto;">Thus far, there have been over 8,500 students from over 100 countries and over 8,300 mentors from over 109 countries who have participated in GSoC.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> According to their website, the program, in addition to the $5,500 USD stipend, offers students </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits.

We convinced him to let us fly him from India to Montreal so that he could attend the PyCon sprints last year, and it was really awesome to finally meet him in person! He’s been a real catalyst to keep Mailman development moving over the past two years, and it’s a real treat to have him as part of the Mailman team!”</blockquote> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Although Terri laments the fact that, as administrator, she has less time to work one-on-one with the students, she is able to keep informed via the student blog posts.

What makes us so successful in this area is the enthusiasm with which the community is willing to share its time and knowledge. For me, hearing these stories is the best part of working with the PSF. We have recently heard from an educator in Texas who is seriously changing students' lives by teaching them to code with Python. She is Fifth Grade Science Teacher, Melissa Dylag, of Coulson Tough Elementary School, a K - 6th school in South East Texas.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Melissa’s adventure started in 2013 when she was approached by a parent who urged her to introduce her students to the world of coding and computer science. <span style="widows: auto;">Using the non-profit <a href="https://code.org/about">Code.org</a>  tutorial, </span><a href="https://hourofcode.com/us">"Hour of Code,"</a> <span style="widows: auto;"> </span><span style="widows: auto;">Melissa taught each of her fifth grade classes for three days. Melissa inspired Technology teachers Noreen Reid and Shelley Moya, who in turn taught other students; by last year, almost every student in the school (about 1000) had completed an hour of computer science instruction via the free website.</span></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu9SJDFBwsvh-29BgNY_4gqHzKNccSQmtCLtxYLVKSqVLcAGSHnrtGj4OGw6_b9nSKr5gm67SDwg52XlPYeDZ0PYQ2Fd0kj4jCBtNm-eW7Fm8TgM6ybDqttQT98YqDjXsWwkw/s1600/Melissa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu9SJDFBwsvh-29BgNY_4gqHzKNccSQmtCLtxYLVKSqVLcAGSHnrtGj4OGw6_b9nSKr5gm67SDwg52XlPYeDZ0PYQ2Fd0kj4jCBtNm-eW7Fm8TgM6ybDqttQT98YqDjXsWwkw/s400/Melissa1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Coulson Tough Python Club </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> The students' response was fantastic, so Melissa wanted to do more to empower her students. She recruited the help of her son (a recent computer science graduate and now a Silicon Valley software engineer) to develop a full intro course using Python. According to Melissa, Python was a good choice because it <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">offers my students everything to build a proper foundation for future computer science instruction.</q></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Melissa, along with helpers Noreen and Shelley, are learning Python as they go. They teach about 30 students, an approximately equal mix of boys and girls in 4th, 5th and 6th grades, every Wednesday morning before the regular school day.

The conference was a one-day affair with talks comprising three tracks. 247 people attended. Each year since then, PyCon Japan has grown in size and complexity. Last month’s sold-out conference had 602 attendees, with 80 people attending tutorials, and more than 50 staying for a fourth day to participate in Sprints. </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> There were 43 sponsors.

Other sponsors included PayPal, O'Reilly, CodeIQ, JetBrains, Nikkei, and the Japanese online marketplace, Curama.

Along with such expected topics as <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">strategies for improving data analysis,</q> Leonardo particularly mentioned a talk <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">about the adventures of someone teaching Python in Latin America in his car.</q></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: left; widows: auto;"> Of course, that adventurer is none other than Manuel Kaufmann! Some of you may recall that last year the PSF funded his project, and it was featured in a couple of posts to this blog: <a href="http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2015/03/manuel-kaufmann-and-python-in-argentina.html">Python in Argentina</a> and <a href="http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2015/04/highly-contagious-python-spreads.html" style="widows: auto;">Highly Contagious</a>. And in addition to what is sure to be a fascinating talk by Manuel Kaufmann, there will also be a keynote by the PSF’s very own Brandon Rhodes, who is also the organizer of the upcoming PyCon 2016 in Portland.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: left; widows: auto;"> I asked Leonardo to tell us a little about his local Python community.

Education, advocacy, community building. . . all take place at a PyCon. If you've never been, you can check out these talks from last year's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgxzjK6GuOHVKR_08TT4hJQ">PyCon 2015 in Montreal</a>.<br /> <br /> But nothing can fully give the full experience, the excitement and flavor, the connections forged and strengthened, the sheer intensity of spending several days with a large community of bright, energetic, and engaged Pythonistas, sharing their knowledge and skills and teaching and learning with each other, as attending a PyCon itself.<br /> <br /> The conference schedule will begin on the weekend with tutorials, then there will be five full tracks of talks, over 100 total, during the three main conference days. As usual, development sprints will follow, offering a unique opportunity for developers to work in "dream teams" on open source projects. And of course there will be the Summits, Expo Hall, Poster Session, Sponsor Workshops, Lightning Talks, Open Spaces, Job Fair, PyLadies Auction, and last, but hardly least, the dynamic and inviting "Hallway Track," that make for such a vibrant conference. All of this, along with ample (organized, spontaneous, and even some chaotic) social and cultural activities (including the annual Opening Reception and 5K Charity Run). The venue will be the centrally-located Convention Center which will allow for easy exploration of the fabulous city of Portland, Oregon.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqmyKVSA3YOW67h41qV0GP5QylDoL22wZZggnluJw8GT4Ap0om948me8nhjLsOP3Waa3kdaKzJi_4P3hXCJL6UO7yZAUy2tpI7yzfpLst6GtCqGfAn-XdwtvtW9ShbySPxPQ/s1600/Oregon_Convention_Center%252C_Portland_2012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqmyKVSA3YOW67h41qV0GP5QylDoL22wZZggnluJw8GT4Ap0om948me8nhjLsOP3Waa3kdaKzJi_4P3hXCJL6UO7yZAUy2tpI7yzfpLst6GtCqGfAn-XdwtvtW9ShbySPxPQ/s320/Oregon_Convention_Center%252C_Portland_2012.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">By Another Believer (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons</span></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> As this year's PyCon organizer, Brandon Rhodes, tells us on the PyCon blog,<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> PyCon offers tremendous value for both individuals and businesses. PyCon’s three main conference days offer keynote speeches, nearly a hundred talks, Open Space rooms for meetings and workshops, and an Expo Hall where you can meet dozens of sponsor companies and open source non-profits. More than 3,000 fans and contributors to Python are expected to attend the conference!</blockquote> <br /> Another feature of PyCons as opposed to other tech conferences that must be mentioned is the diversity of speakers and attendees. For both 2014 and 2015 in Montreal, a full 33% of talks were given by women. Not only does this make for a more varied range of content and a higher degree of excellence (since the work of women programmers contributes to a greater pool of proposals from which the final talks are selected), but for a truly welcoming community. As someone who has attended the last four PyCons (the first of which, before I even became a Python user), I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you come, you will not be disappointed!<br /> <br /> And, please, if you're working on something interesting, or care to share some insights, experiences, project development, or theoretical observations, consider proposing a talk, tutorial, or a poster session.<br /> <br /> Registration is now open, and, if you hurry, you can qualify for the reduced cost of an Early Bird ticket. If the past is any indication, these tickets, and all remaining ones, will sell-out quickly. Don't be left out!

Back in July, the PSF sponsored a small Django Girls workshop in Seoul, South Korea with a modest grant of $2000 USD. We’ve recently received a letter from one the organizers, Rachell Calhoun, and I’d like to share it here:</div> <blockquote style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 4px; color: #777777; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px 15px; widows: auto;"> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px;"> Hello,</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> I’ll just start by saying I knew nothing of programming or anything tech two years ago. I got inspired by a failed interview to start learning programming and I found some awesome like-minded people that were studying Python. We did so many Python MOOCs, tutorials, Raspberry Pi and even Pygame! This year we started working on web development and along came Django. The core members from this study group (codeforeveryone.co) were inspired by Django Girls to make an event in Seoul. We worked hard to make the event accessible to everyone, translating everything into both English and Korean.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> At first we thought it would be a small, simple event of 30 participants, but after the first day we had more than 30 applicants, so we decided to expand it to 70 participants, 26 coaches and five organizers. We tried our best to make it a casual, fun, and motivating experience for all involved.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> During the three months leading up to the event, we worked hard at getting sponsors. Because of the PSF sponsorship, we were able to make it a wonderful introductory experience to Python for all the participants as well as some coaches!</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> We had 425 applicants from 11 different countries, ages ranging from 16 to 50 years old. We chose 70 of the best applications. Some of the participants in the event were able to complete their web blog applications, and some even went on to do the extended Django Girls' tutorials. </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> We hope to harness the momentum from Django Girls Seoul participants and coaches to help create a more permanent community where we can all continue to study and teach Python and Django. We’ve started planning a follow-up event in three weeks. Our original group of organizers' philosophy is to learn by doing and master by teaching. So we’d like to continue learning and teaching together, inspiring and connecting like-minded people to create a supportive, welcoming community for all.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> Thank you again from everyone that participated in our event.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;"> Rachell Calhoun, Django Girls Seoul Organizer</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzTWwxmiULfrrEUOkpf37y9DTAHDBqjZj9QV8zQ7cFrthhKtg4CO3KcZrGksGwyyAp3IbAKA9n8nph4aqYsGz8unOLf7IZpvtMm5RFhrc-Ak_2IwwJeJrtQSGoSUDvwBN-Os/s1600/IMG_2831.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzTWwxmiULfrrEUOkpf37y9DTAHDBqjZj9QV8zQ7cFrthhKtg4CO3KcZrGksGwyyAp3IbAKA9n8nph4aqYsGz8unOLf7IZpvtMm5RFhrc-Ak_2IwwJeJrtQSGoSUDvwBN-Os/s320/IMG_2831.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uejaTyKi_xx24N2RPCKnD34TcVCH-jIpIEFLyu3mYPES2hCGlceCEd9TL8hNW2xtudf4gy3s8VQxxELniYVo3tEmrAYeMM_r0S8Zuiv3cQSFS1ayMjj7WsIgvlTkuERol-U/s1600/python.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8uejaTyKi_xx24N2RPCKnD34TcVCH-jIpIEFLyu3mYPES2hCGlceCEd9TL8hNW2xtudf4gy3s8VQxxELniYVo3tEmrAYeMM_r0S8Zuiv3cQSFS1ayMjj7WsIgvlTkuERol-U/s320/python.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuqq8izRgV92D3rhP6af6yqv0qm6oE7HPRqSxrxy4VfMeMIzX4TirO1DogAkAVSANg2pHUJBtbw8wUsUdtbCYtuhiGbr7LQ32ZT-8rXhp0-pb1RyT51GOuXpReV7NUNVUWxc/s1600/sparklers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuqq8izRgV92D3rhP6af6yqv0qm6oE7HPRqSxrxy4VfMeMIzX4TirO1DogAkAVSANg2pHUJBtbw8wUsUdtbCYtuhiGbr7LQ32ZT-8rXhp0-pb1RyT51GOuXpReV7NUNVUWxc/s320/sparklers.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFloqwJ2KEYaziDgaRXvgWTi2Fz71eVEmy4J2dzXHkLwwvBefiy6dIEifD7JNRx0Jla3d1QuATBr24MjhbZfCCLvIAkQgeK33D8cy7ZAERcGzVkIr_2y-gZmdJXMO7_TL_zOw/s1600/event.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFloqwJ2KEYaziDgaRXvgWTi2Fz71eVEmy4J2dzXHkLwwvBefiy6dIEifD7JNRx0Jla3d1QuATBr24MjhbZfCCLvIAkQgeK33D8cy7ZAERcGzVkIr_2y-gZmdJXMO7_TL_zOw/s320/event.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygUTU61HRVhh8rdmeXuT9aOAB6XpB12WoDbd0M8ghyphenhyphenH-tq0qIULnkV-jnl1qAXMItbaxxbZW6xVdjOq8Fcvc5tlp18y9P7kNo6p45rT-NG0cj4jAr6czQCeOXOP3DwJjGSqM/s1600/lunch.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygUTU61HRVhh8rdmeXuT9aOAB6XpB12WoDbd0M8ghyphenhyphenH-tq0qIULnkV-jnl1qAXMItbaxxbZW6xVdjOq8Fcvc5tlp18y9P7kNo6p45rT-NG0cj4jAr6czQCeOXOP3DwJjGSqM/s320/lunch.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photos courtesy of Rachell Calhoun</td></tr> </tbody></table> </blockquote> <br /> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Since this initial workshop, Rachell and the organizers have made true on their promise to keep going in building their community. They’ve recently held their follow-up event, during which about 35 women, along with 10 new coaches, worked on an extended Django Girls' tutorial. All five original organizers also participated: In addition to Rachell, these are Hassan Abid, a phone app developer, Jin Park, a full-stack developer, Sujin Lee, who works in online education, and Dayoung Park an administrative coordinator. </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> According to Rachell, one of the great features of such a community is that the experienced coaches and organizers also learn from teaching and from each other. She believes that her own background as an EFL teacher, along with her perspective as a novice Python programmer, contribute to making these teaching events successful.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Additional events planned for the future include a <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">Django Girls Code Camp</q> taking place every Saturday for two months, and offered free of charge to participants. The intention is to leverage the skill learned in the two months and then apply it to non-profit projects that will benefit the local community and offer the coders more real world experience.</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> To help us learn more about these and other events planned by this group, Rachell kindly sent along the following links:</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <a href="http://codeforeveryoneseoul.github.io/dgseoul-2015-review/#/" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4;">http://codeforeveryoneseoul.github.io/dgseoul-2015-review/#/</a></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <a href="http://www.rachellcalhoun.com/blog/" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4;">http://www.rachellcalhoun.com/blog/</a></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> I hope you’ll all join me in sending our sincere congratulations and thanks to Rachell, her team of organizers, and all the participants on a wonderful project that is enlarging and enhancing the Python community!</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <em style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">I would love to hear from readers.

Fortunately, the PSF was able to help fund some of this work; one recent result is the release of <b>Twisted 15.4,</b> which includes <b>Twisted’</b>s standard test-runner, <b>Trial </b>(codenamed "Trial by Fire").</div> </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> The PSF Grant allowed core developer and <b>Twisted </b>release manager,<br /> Amber (HawkOwl) Brown, to port <b>Trial</b> to Python 3. She recently sent the PSF this announcement:</div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> “Just wanting to let you all know that a <b>Twisted</b> with the PSF-funded <b>Trial Py3</b> port is now released.

The work is mostly done and the current port duplicates most of <b>Trial</b>’s previous functionality with the exception of its distributed test runner (<code style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: #f8f8f8; border-bottom-left-radius: 3px; border-bottom-right-radius: 3px; border-top-left-radius: 3px; border-top-right-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(234, 234, 234); margin: 0px 2px; padding: 0px 5px; white-space: nowrap;">DistTrialRunner</code>).</div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Specifically, the PSF grant allowed Amber to perform the following steps:</div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">- Complete and test the <b>Trial</b> unittest loader</q><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">- Fix the remaining failing <b>Trial</b> tests </q><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">- Create a tool which runs only the portions of <b>Twisted</b> that have been ported to Python 3 for use in <b>Twisted </b>development </q><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">- Break up the port into smaller pieces, put them up for review, and address the review comments </q><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">- Merge the reviewed portions</q></blockquote> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: left; widows: auto;"> <b>Trial</b>’s features–a front-end, the ability to handle Deferreds and asynchronous tests, and the capacity to build testcase-duration reactors, make testing much easier. The <b>Twisted </b>team will now be able to use <b>Trial</b> for continued Python 3 porting, while users of <b>Twisted</b> will be able to test their codebases more easily as they port them to Python 3.

The PSF is one of around twenty organisations in the project partnership. Since it’s a microcontroller, and the aim is to run Python… well, there’s a pretty obvious answer when trying to combine those two things.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> We’re incredibly pleased to announce that MicroPython runs on the BBC’s micro:bit.

When the device is delivered, all the resources needed to recreate the entire project are to be released under an open license. The laudable intention is to provide an unencumbered legacy so others can build upon and adapt the work of the partnership that has created this device.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> To read more details and learn the story of how MicroPython came to be on the micro:bit, check out Nicholas Tollervey’s blog post found here: <a href="http://ntoll.org/article/story-micropython-on-microbit" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4;">http://ntoll.org/article/story-micropython-on-microbit</a></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; widows: auto;">Finally, there is much to be done.

Recently we’ve heard from Ngangsi Richard about the Python Cameroon initiative. As you may recall, last March the PSF sponsored a one-day workshop in Bamenda, </span><a href="http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2015/03/pycon-cameroon.html" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4; widows: auto;">PyCon Cameroon</a><span style="widows: auto;">, </span><span style="widows: auto;">for the purpose of exposing women and girls to the power of Python programming. This latest project further extends programming accessibility to those previously denied the opportunity.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Python Cameroon  was a month-long intensive course offered in August, free of charge, to beginners, and largely funded by the PSF. According to Ngangsi, Program Coordinator and Instructor, there were 18 students in this first session: three men and fifteen women. An additional ten people could not be accommodated. All were total beginners. As Ngangsi describes them, </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <span style="widows: auto;">Most of them had no idea about programming. Most of them have never been taught anywhere how to write programs. Some of them were not even familiar with a computer.</span></blockquote> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Because of this lack of basic computer skills, Ngangsi had to adapt the course to allow students enough time to absorb and practice what they were learning. By the second week, he had settled on a schedule that allotted two days to introducing new material in lectures, two days for the students to practice the exercises, and an extra day for questions and review. </div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-aqaUPtjJk7-K1a0_J1JQZxq0BY3sxgfOTQ3umm44AOzDfagPegB247oTueX9c_u5vzQ128BWDvGgE764hfWRA1E-NY0-XUFRsMmhFYsG3SEztOK70uAmt9InwkTuMvZx6G8/s1600/Board.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-aqaUPtjJk7-K1a0_J1JQZxq0BY3sxgfOTQ3umm44AOzDfagPegB247oTueX9c_u5vzQ128BWDvGgE764hfWRA1E-NY0-XUFRsMmhFYsG3SEztOK70uAmt9InwkTuMvZx6G8/s400/Board.jpg" width="223" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ngangsi at the board<br />Photo credit: Ngangsi Richard </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Additional challenges that had to be contended with included frequent power outages, a too-small classroom that was shared with other groups (resulting in some loss of property), and a shortage of computers and even chairs. Since there was one computer for every two students,  the time needed for exercises and practice was also increased. Ngangsi, as the only instructor, bore the entire burden of preparation and teaching. Those of us who are or who have been teachers know how exhausting full days in the classroom can be. </div> <div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> But, amazingly, given the obstacles, the students succeeded in learning. Ngangsi taught them many standard introductory topics (including data-types, statements, lists, tuples, variables, and expressions). Of course, some concepts, like functions, proved challenging; still, the students persevered and made it through to the complexities of dictionaries, recursion, classes, modules, and exceptions. </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> <span style="widows: auto;">After the first day of lecture, I saw some improvement.
