background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; widows: auto;"> Day one of<a href="http://www.cubaconf.org/"> CubaConf</a> started out with a bit of confusion. A last minute change of venue was necessary due to some bureaucratic red tape surrounding the government controlled <a href="http://www.cubaheritage.org/articles.asp?lID=1&artID=306">Palacio del Segundo Cabo</a>. Luckily, a short walk across the Plaza de Armas, <a href="http://www.ohch.cu/instituciones/colegio-san-geronimo/">the Colegia San Geronimo</a> was available and happy to step in to provide meeting rooms for the approximately 180 speakers and attendees. And in spite of the spotty internet service that plagues the island, difficulties in communicating the change did not prevent the conference from starting smoothly and nearly on schedule. The organizers, including <a href="https://twitter.com/elmor3no_">Pablo Mestre</a>, a member of the PSF-Cuba workgroup, deserve much credit for their smooth handling of the situation.<br /> <br /> Preliminary announcements and welcoming remarks revealed that speakers and attendees came from 17 different countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Turkey, Uruguay, United States, and Venezuela. <a href="http://www.cubaconf.org/2016/03/11/mapbox-is-sponsoring/">Sponsors</a>, including the PSF, were mentioned and thanked. </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 keynote by <a href="http://temas.cult.cu/autor/84/hamlet-l%C3%B3pez-garc%C3%ADa">Hamlet L贸pez Garc铆a</a>, a social psychologist from the Cuban Institute of Cultural Research at Juan Marinello, explored the relationship between free software and Cuba’s politics and culture. </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/AVvXsEjhj5dv-wAB8P79CMEHZRu7wk7EViu7wDYEVcjN4PWzPzkMlRSPx4P8sjl9Ivh9f4zlx0YiprZtxuG1HGM7oJSdTeqQo-UE_O6As9v8GFDSWAndN6B2UdXGxgQdY576W_Hkz1Y/s1600/HamletGarcia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhj5dv-wAB8P79CMEHZRu7wk7EViu7wDYEVcjN4PWzPzkMlRSPx4P8sjl9Ivh9f4zlx0YiprZtxuG1HGM7oJSdTeqQo-UE_O6As9v8GFDSWAndN6B2UdXGxgQdY576W_Hkz1Y/s320/HamletGarcia.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hamlet L贸pez Garc铆a</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;"> L贸pez' main thesis, (citing Richard Stallman), was that technologies develop as social processes and are shaped by cultural values. In this way, the general principles of the Cuban revolution can be seen to be in harmony with those of free software. The further adoption and use of free software, according to L贸pez, is leading to more democratic access to knowledge and opportunity, not just in Cuba, but globally. This opening talk was enthusiastically received and set a positive tone for the rest of the day.<br /> <br /> Once the conference broke into three tracks, I attended a talk by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaumof">Jacob Appelbaum</a> on the <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">TOR network</a> and the importance of anonymity. Appelbaum explained the ways in which the TOR network was designed to ensure four types of freedom: it's decentralized, encrypted, distributed, and unlike other internet networks, meta-data free (i.e., it does not collect or aggregate meta-data).</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznGz5WaMZtUr9GNGCC1k8Y7ytQbufSFoZkRNZvBIqGYctLM-PKLeZnZ8QwCN0SSErsomaEl5ZGA8kRHf0xeVG_cgKnEZXJBBxzOicJ-Ies5z3ajtUB65XFMUStrneC0-D-zI/s1600/CubaCon1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznGz5WaMZtUr9GNGCC1k8Y7ytQbufSFoZkRNZvBIqGYctLM-PKLeZnZ8QwCN0SSErsomaEl5ZGA8kRHf0xeVG_cgKnEZXJBBxzOicJ-Ies5z3ajtUB65XFMUStrneC0-D-zI/s400/CubaCon1.jpg" width="400" /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></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;"> <span style="widows: auto;"><br /></span> <span style="widows: auto;">Additional talks occurring on day one shared speakers' experiences using open source for projects such as collaborative mapping and creating an online payment system, as well as more theoretical topics such as web development and encryption.

He's talking about Damien George, the physicist and engineer behind <a href="http://micropython.org/">MicroPython</a>, the Python interpreter for microcontrollers.<br /> <br /> George began his project to build a Python interpreter for microcontrollers in 2013. "I started writing MicroPython to see if it's possible," he says. "Could I shrink Python down small enough to run on these tiny chips?" From scratch, he made a Python compiler so skinny it could squeeze into 128 kilobytes of RAM, and then wrote the runtime and built-in functions. "After about 6 months I realized it was possible, and I had a proof of concept." <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/AVvXsEiF9qxPfQ3WsALfkKJWD-qXFfhppUqd88Fkcm46-_iZL8FK9EmAyFPqJ_Xoffwm62-pBc09pM8pqPwYOwnNdZfP1iiL2mUggNZkov_fv6wr31cCIXwT0BjOuK0WoO9WZz5fNw/s1600/damien_at_workbench.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF9qxPfQ3WsALfkKJWD-qXFfhppUqd88Fkcm46-_iZL8FK9EmAyFPqJ_Xoffwm62-pBc09pM8pqPwYOwnNdZfP1iiL2mUggNZkov_fv6wr31cCIXwT0BjOuK0WoO9WZz5fNw/s400/damien_at_workbench.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Damien George, PSF Community Service Award recipient</td></tr> </tbody></table> Surprisingly, MicroPython is based not on the CPython code, but on the documentation. "I tried to look as little as possible at CPython's implementation," he says. "I'd say 95% of the Python language is specified in the docs, maybe even more."<br /> <br /> George launched the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micro-python-python-for-microcontrollers/">MicroPython campaign on Kickstarter</a> at the end of 2013, and raised nearly £100,000. With the support of donors and the efforts of volunteers, he released MicroPython along with a small computer, the <a href="https://micropython.org/store/">PyBoard</a>, which packs a processor, RAM, LEDs, and an accelerometer into a package less than two inches square.<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/AVvXsEgsCIzzjN63zRCqc4w0w2GP8Nf5B9todGM-tXw3rwZpntCfa2SDsM0L2TKHHi8ktLfc1Yf1aUrTCRUYuT_tKrtd5z7N5Cynwx269S634KC87GNcqN2OsMqVKgA2HBqjpNXJJQ/s1600/PYBLITEv1_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsCIzzjN63zRCqc4w0w2GP8Nf5B9todGM-tXw3rwZpntCfa2SDsM0L2TKHHi8ktLfc1Yf1aUrTCRUYuT_tKrtd5z7N5Cynwx269S634KC87GNcqN2OsMqVKgA2HBqjpNXJJQ/s400/PYBLITEv1_0.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The MicroPython PyBoard</td></tr> </tbody></table> The BBC, meanwhile, wanted to port Python to its own little computer, the <a href="https://www.microbit.co.uk/">micro:bit</a>. They partnered with the Python Software Foundation and worked with Tollervey, a PSF fellow, to obtain a Python interpreter for their secret project. That effort fell through in April 2015, leaving Tollervey anxious that Python would be left out of the micro:bit launch. Young coders can program the micro:bit with another tool, Microsoft's TouchDevelop, but Tollervey says that Python on the micro:bit provides a special opportunity: "The important thing about Python is continuity. Kids can pick up Python because it's easy to learn, and it's also the same language you use at the workplace. These are skills they can use in the future."<br /> <br /> By chance, in <a href="http://ntoll.org/article/story-micropython-on-microbit">a discussion over tea with an engineer from ARM</a>, Tollervey realized MicroPython might work on the micro:bit. He sent a prototype of the board to George with a note stuck to it: "I want this back, Damien," and a smiley face. Within a week of getting the prototype, George had MicroPython running on it. Tollervey says, "When we had that I knew we were on to a goer." He did eventually get his board back.<br /> <br /> The Python Software Foundation <a href="https://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-awards/#march-2016">awarded Damien George a Community Service Award in 2016</a>. In addition to his extensive volunteer work on the BBC micro:bit and MicroPython, George spent time answering questions, helping users, and reviewing code from the wider MicroPython and micro:bit communities. Tollervey adds, "He's a very good mentor, and just a genuinely nice chap."<br /> <br /> Now that the micro:bit is launched, MicroPython is gaining a far wider audience. Last Tuesday <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31834927">the BBC began delivering micro:bits to a million school children</a>. George says, "It's a relief that it's finally out there, and very exciting to see this new era of kids using Python on these little devices."<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/AVvXsEjcAUU9ThlJr7wZazahPZ-UYHAEE_P0bCMUy9O4q1iqOJHJFLgjzIg4Y2csIecSyT3oyBsCNzL7z9H6f60QfYWxSP1Vh6HuklYfl6Hu3X3KsYXMfmT233uysgB5Qe6EhReamA/s1600/microbit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcAUU9ThlJr7wZazahPZ-UYHAEE_P0bCMUy9O4q1iqOJHJFLgjzIg4Y2csIecSyT3oyBsCNzL7z9H6f60QfYWxSP1Vh6HuklYfl6Hu3X3KsYXMfmT233uysgB5Qe6EhReamA/s400/microbit.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The BBC micro:bit</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08612435176546178055' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/08612435176546178055' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>A.

Over the coming weeks all the software and hardware plans needed to recreate the project will be released under an open license. If you have the time and money, you could fork this work and make your own.</p><br /> <p>Since the project's inception, the Python Software Foundation has been a member of the partnership tasked to deliver this "moonshot". The partnership consists of almost 30 organisations including big multi-nationals such as <a href="http://www.arm.com/">ARM</a>, <a href="http://microsoft.com/">Microsoft</a> and <a href="http://samsung.com/">Samsung</a>, academic institutions like <a href="http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/">Lancaster University</a> and volunteer and community based organisations such as the PSF and <a href="https://codeclub.org.uk/">CodeClub</a>.</p><br /> <p>Originally, the PSF agreed to provide Pythonic educational resources and expertise. The BBC told us they already had a Python solution in the pipeline. However, at the beginning of May the partner who was to deliver this solution dropped out and we were asked to provide an alternative.</p><br /> <p>Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/dpgeorge/">Damien George</a>'s amazing <a href="http://micropython.org/">MicroPython</a> project and his collaboration with an international community of Pythonistas the device runs a full re-implementation of Python 3. The version of MicroPython on the micro:bit doesn't include the standard library. However, it contains several easy to use modules for interacting with the device's hardware, making music, digital art and connecting stuff to the device via its I/O pins. All the standard language features are supported including data types, OOP, data structures, exceptions, generators and builtins. All this on a device with 256k of flash memory and 16k of RAM.</p><br /> <p>Special mention should be made of <a href="https://github.com/MarkShannon">Mark Shannon</a> who did amazing work on the display related capabilities of MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit.

It's yet more evidence that Python has the world's greatest programming community. A big "thank you" to everyone who contributed.</p><br /> <p>Why is this so important?</p><br /> <p>Asking what sort of education and learning our community supports is how we decide what sort of community we become. For it is through education and learning that we engage with our future colleagues, friends and supporters. Put simply, we're investing time and effort in the future of a diverse Python community.</p><br /> <p>You're probably wondering what you can do with the device. A quick look around the <a href="https://microworldtour.github.io/">world-tour website</a> will show you how MicroPython on the micro:bit can be adapted to a huge number of educational (and not so educational) uses. Two of our favourites are described below:</p><br /> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/deshipu">Radomir Dopieralski</a> only had his device a few days before he'd managed to fry it while connecting it to a robot. Failure is an essential aspect of education - it's how we learn to adjust and improve our behaviour while exploring the world around us. Happily, Radomir learned from his mistake and went on to build several different robots including our favourite called "Bob" (which is wobbly-cute in a menacing "all humans must die" sort of a way):</p><br /> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/khRb_HOsX6c?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /> <br /> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/martinohanlon">Martin O'Hanlon</a> is a regular contributor to the education track at PyCon UK. His lessons in programming Minecraft with Python are genius-level performances that end with a hundred kids and their parents furiously hacking Python so Minecraft does crazy things. It's inspiring to see such a thing unfold. As a result, we were especially looking forward to his contribution (and he didn't disappoint).</p><br /> <p>Mart has managed to tick pretty much all the boxes for many 11 year olds with his X-Wing flying in Minecraft running on a Raspberry Pi controlled via MicroPython running on a BBC micro:bit. Perhaps the only thing missing is that it doesn't come with a side of pizza and fries:</p><br /> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/59KqWVwj_Cc?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /> <br /> <p>Finally, if you're wondering what it feels like to program such a device... the following reaction is typical:</p><br /> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I've been playing with micropython on the BBC micro:bit and it's amazing! <3</p>— Guido van Rossum (@gvanrossum) <a href="https://twitter.com/gvanrossum/status/653975453691080704">October 13, 2015</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br /> <br /> <p>You'll soon be able to get your own via mail-order when they're released to the general public over the summer.</p><br /> <p>If you're interested in contributing (there is so much yet to be done) then join our <a href="https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/microbit">mailing list</a> or check out our <a href="https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython">source code</a>.

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.

Not only did he do interesting work during his GSoC summer, but he also has become a hugely valuable community member for Mailman, working on continuous integration, contributions, and mentoring. 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.

Most students wouldn’t even want to admit that, let alone write a blog post about it, but she was great and wrote a post not only about making the mistake, but about how she learned to fix it. Every time I think that I’ve made an embarrassing commit, I think about her bravery and honesty as inspiration for how to recover gracefully.</q><span style="widows: auto;"> </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;"> Terri loves the fact that the GSoC gives students a way into open source, but she likes to point out that it’s not the only way. She herself got involved in open source as a teenager, then with the help of a friend, she was able to find a rewarding job as a security researcher for Intel’s Open Source Technology Center.

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.

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.

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.

When the device is delivered, all the resources needed to recreate the entire project are to be released under an open license.

Tutorials covered topics such topics as unit testing, data stores, and beginning programming with Python and Django, and were attended by 96 people, of whom 64 were students. Lynn Root’s tutorial, “How to Spy with Python,” explained how the NSA and the UK’s Tempora programs can collect data on citizens' search histories, emails, IRC conversations, PGP usage, etc. As Lynn was clear to point out, however, the talk was not an endorsement of spying or a how-to, but rather a “… way of understanding the current political environment, as well as indirectly understanding how to protect one’s privacy” (see <a href="https://pycon.sg/schedule/presentation/36/">How to Spy</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;"> 127 people (of whom 41 were students) attended the two days of conference talks.

As a result I’m passionate about teaching and learning - especially as a vehicle for emancipation. Unsurprisingly, I see programming and technical literacy as such vehicles. This is reinforced because I also have three school aged children.</div> </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;"> Q: How long were you thinking about and/or writing the book? </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;"> NT: I’ve been thinking about programming and Python in education for quite a number of years. Given all that’s happening regarding computing education in the UK at the moment, I’ve also had a lot of opportunity to discuss the subject with a large number of teachers and developers and develop my outlook as a result (a process that is ongoing). The first draft of the report only took a weekend to write - although I made time during the following weeks for tidying up and editing (re-reading with fresh eyes is such a useful thing to do).</div> </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;"> Q: Did you have the book’s contents in mind or did you discover it via research? </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;"> NT: The philosophical <q style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact;">outlook</q> was very much the result of the discussions mentioned in the previous point.

For the last 4-5 years I’ve organised the PyconUK education track: last year we had 50 teachers and 90 kids turn up. This year will be bigger still. I also founded and help to run the London Python Code Dojo where developers come together to teach and learn from each other (see: <a href="http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4;">http://ntoll.org/article/how-to-run-an-awesome-code-dojo</a> for details of what a dojo is). I also collaborate with teachers on an ad hoc basis - for example, tomorrow I’m at a school in Nottinghamshire to help teach teachers to teach programming.

I always try to imagine who I’m writing for. In this case it was programmers who need an easy to remember source of arguments in favour of Python in education and teachers, students, parents and school board types (i.e. policy makers) who know nothing about computing but who need information in an easy to digest format. I wanted to write a kind of manifesto (but without explicitly calling it one because that has all sorts of connotations) that would expose all the amazing work and progress the Python community has made in the world of education. It’s all about helping people join the dots, make connections and collaborate. By the end of the book I want the reader to want to teach and learn Python. ;-)</div> </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;"> An e-copy of Nicholas’s book can be obtained for free from <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/python-in-education.csp" style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; color: #4183c4;">O'Reilly</a>.
