It would be wonderful if this could be done. My question is: can it be done?
The most populous nation in Africa (and therefore, we must presume, the one with the most Python programmers) is Nigeria. Getting an entrance visa here -- even a tourist visa -- is a challenging thing. It's not required for citizens of nearby nations, but really a pain for Europeans or Americans. Airline tickets are expensive, even on European wages. Most locals could not afford a ticket. One wonders whether their employers can. If a suitable venue can be found in a more visitor-friendly nation, can enough attendees get there to be worthwhile? I am not saying "don't try" but there are some hurdles to overcome. I have joined the mailing list and will help out if I can. -- Vernon Cole eHealth Africa .org On Friday, October 4, 2013 5:13:44 PM UTC+1, Daniele Procida wrote: > > First of all, apologies if you have to read this more than once because of > the cross-posting. > > I've had an idea brewing recently. > > I went to meet Professor Judith Hall this afternoon to talk about it. > She's involved with http://medicine.cardiff.ac.uk/mothers-africa/(amongst > other things) and is working on a Cardiff University project which > itself is part of > http://wales.gov.uk/topics/health/improvement/index/grants/?lang=en > > Following that meeting, I bashed out: > https://github.com/evildmp/pycons-in-africa/ - please take a look, and > even better, let me know what you think, or make your own contribution to > the document.
