Mission Statement

We need Open Source in general and programming languages such as Python to be popularized among the new generation in Africa.

We want to set up free Python training sessions and developer events in several African countries starting in 2008.

About the sessions

We could have several types of sessions among which to choose depending on opportunities and demand:

• Python Training (2 days or more, depending on the needs). Free training to introduce the Python language.
  
• Python Unconference (1 day). See http://pycamp.python.org/ or http://barcamp.org if you are new to this.
  
• Sprint (2-3 days). For contributing code & documentation.
  

Taking action !

To participate as a volunteer trainer

Add your name to the List of volunteer trainers with some details about you.

To host a session

If you are an African organization (university, school, company, FOSS user group or association, etc...) and can provide a "room with computers", you can help.

Join the project to discuss on the mailing list about organizing this Python training in your city !

To sponsor a session

If you want to sponsor one of the next stops of the tour, contact us on the mailing list !

Current status

• We are sorting out the organization details, and looking for local organizations who can host a training session of the tour.
