PyLadies is an international mentorship group whose goal is to encourage more women to become active participants and leaders in Python’s open-source community. There are PyLadies chapters all over the world, including one right here in Tampa Bay: TampaBay PyLadies.
The problem is that the TampaBay PyLadies Meetup group doesn’t have an organizer, and if one doesn’t step up, Meetup will automatically close that group.
We need a PyLadies group here. Python is expected to be a high-demand programming language for some time (it’s still at the top of the TIOBE Index), and let’s face it: programming is a sausage party. We guys are pretty good at things, but we need the knowledge, wisdom, and perspective that women provide.
If you’re a woman in the Tampa Bay area and would like to help keep TampaBay PyLadies up and running, please consider becoming an organizer for TampaBay PyLadies Meetup. You don’t need to be an expert at Python; all you need is to be interested in Python and have enough organizational know-how to run a Meetup (it’s relatively straightforward) and the time to do so. And if you need help, we in the Tampa Bay Python community — myself included — will gladly provide it.
Want to step up and become TampaBay PyLadies’ organizer? You can do so on the TampaBay PyLadies page!
