Python workshop for women, Dec. 16-17

[xela]

I've heard great things about this workshop, and (as those of you who've worked for me know) I've always been supportive of women in technology, so I wanted to amp the signal:

A project-driven introduction to Python for women and their friends

Learn and practice Python basics with this project-driven workshop!

Audience: Women and their friends who have no or limited programming experience. This event is welcoming and respectful of trans women. Men are welcome as guests of women who are attending.

Awesome! My Python skills are sadly lacking.

If you sign up, I may want to ask you to bring me along as your guest. (Men can only attend as guests.) I have some (mostly rusty) Python skills, but they're covering things I don't know — and I'd be curious to see their program first hand.

Sure. I've signed up - do I need to tell someone that you're my guest, if you want to do that?

The mechanism isn't clear from the meetup page. I've emailed one of the organizers (who I know socially): I'm hoping they just plan on a handful of male guests showing up as "plus one" — I don't want to go if it would mean taking one of the few remaining enumerated spots.

I would indeed be taking up one of the enumerated spots, so I won't be going. Enjoy!
