 Hi, my name is Fernando. I'm Katja. We are from Brazil. We are sharing experiences from a lot of countries Namibia, Picon UK, Picon Uruguay, Picon Japan, Picon Italy, Urupayton, Picon Montreal. Experiences about inclusion, about diversity. First of all, diversity is a statement of Python Software Foundation. There are always problems, inclusion problems at our conference. At Picon, at Picon three, four years ago, three or two Pinterest developers have problems. At SciPy, we also have problems and we have always, as is necessary to have efforts to counteract these problems. Guido, our BFL, always are wearing this Python is for girls t-shirts last year at Urupayton Keynotes and is sending a subliminal message for us that inclusion is important for us as a community. Definitively, Guido is not a pop star. Guido is always giving attention to everyone at Picon. Last year, at my breakfast at Picon, Montreal, I took this photo of Guido listening with full attention, pulverized song with at least 20 minutes. And a lot of, in my opinion, a lot of speakers in Python community are following the Guido way of life at the corridors. Some numbers. In this year, we have 40% of talk by women at Picon. And in this week at DjangoCon, we have also 40% of talk by women in the blinded select, double blinded select process. Special mention to Jessica, efforts to sending a lot of emails to potential speakers. Phisnes is an international forum of the Phisnes software. I have one track with only women, pilot's track. In the last year, the Phisnes have more than 10,000 people in the conference. This little pilot girl, she is 12 years old and she started coding using Scratch when she was 5 and Python with 8. She gave a talk this year at the forum in Brazil and she was teaching how to code in Python. And she also gave a talk last year at the same forum in Brazil. We have a problem in this track because the speakers are almost a majority of students. In the Python community have a crowdfunding campaign to cost the travel to the pilot's speakers. When I tweet the campaign the two first to help are Manuel and Joanna from Argentina. Manuel and Joanna have a project named Argentina in Python is a project that are doing jungle girl workshop in many countries in South America. They are travelers and Manuel and Joanna is a very happy couple because there is no better recipe to be happy than go through your life doing good to the others. Two years ago I was at Python UK and last year at Python Japan. In my opinion the most fun part of Python UK and Python Japan is a track for kids and this tweet told my 11 year old son he can go on his Xbox after dinner we spent the last past two hours coding in Python on his hospital pie. No one is Minecraft workshop at Python Japan no one wants to leave even for lunch. There are kids talks at Python UK last year sometimes we are too serious at the conference and participating in a workshop for children helps not to give so much importance to talks and have more empathy to with the others. At the first day of Python Namibia at the end of Django Girls workshop we arrived a bit earlier to the general party and Namibian people are very friendly people gave us a show of dance and songs was a show at Namibian community there are some interesting things like go to the people preparing some dinner to the elder and last year and this year there are half percentage of attendee were women and these lighting talks show us there are mixers of races and Python Japan 10 years is about inclusiveness and our community are happy with this I will talk about some personal stories I invited Aisha to share this story but unfortunately she is at this moment at Python Fili and Aisha is organized of Django Girls and Django Girls have some different problems because some girls do not have personal computers but is a very successful workshop a splitting floor and Aisha gave a yesterday talk about this experience at Django she is a co-organizer of first PyCon Nigeria in October I went to my first conference Python Brazil I met Django Girls and I come back to Rio after three months later I organized the first Django Girls in Rio de Janeiro we have 472 inscriptions and 30 attendees after that I saw we don't have Django Girls in Europe Python it's a big conference and I began to organize it and from Brazil but I work as a Java developer for five years and like eight months ago I first met Django at Django Girls in my city as attended then I went to Rio as a cult at Django Girls Rio this is a picture from the Django Girls in Rio after that I got a scholarship to attend the Django Con in Budapest in March and also this year I got a job as a Django developer in Czech Republic so I move it to here and I'm working with Django now and this year it's like my first Europe Python and I'm with my friend I'm organizing the Django Girls in Bruno in Czech at PyCon CZ to be in October this year Carlo is a retired and he participated to Django Girls São José dos Campos in the last Python conference we'll show as a video I went through the internet and tried to find something useful to do what I found useful to do was besides Facebook and other things to study to study and to feed myself somehow and through this search I started to study everything I found on the internet until I got to the Python group through this conversation this interaction with them I'm learning Python Python is a science of programming very interesting very catchy and through Python I met Raspy Berry Arduino Arduino Raspy Berry and I came here to personally this appointment with Henrique Basso and Fernando Massanore who is here through the good will of these people who propose to teach graciously and encourage other people to study I found myself with the age that I have already represented by equality to have a life perspective and to have a very serious reason to continue to live in studying and programming also the pilates São Paulo all the co-founders are not are from the other fields they are not programmers in free events there are a lot of no-shows but in only one event there are zero no-shows last year at Pilates event and the Valentines days Pilates decided to made a workshop for couples there are some links and how to implement your code of conduct is blog post for Ola Sedenka is a post about a talk gave by Baptiste and Ola yesterday is a very interesting link and the last one last obvious conference checklist I think is tangible and concrete and import community as Nepal this picture is a free software community of Nepal that submitted a project to teach Python to Python software foundation import community as Uganda is African Uganda community this picture is from last Python Iran but most important as me because you are a part of this community so make things happen thank you questions thanks for the awesome talk I've got two questions first is let's say I am willing to participate as a coach where can I go is there a mailing list or something to offer oneself for helping organizing some event or some new one and the other one is I want to be a bit critical many of the countries you are showing here belong to the former colonies I am now living in one of the poorest countries of South America I do believe in code literacy but my main fear is that probably through community we are training the next generation of colonialism because the best programmers go to work with Facebook and that means getting the resources away from the countries we are working in so how do you feel my concrete question is how do you feel each of you that learning to code actually changes every day's lives for people at Namibia we are a lot of different attendees there are some girls that are one of social science feminist activists that are want to made a blog to spread social activities around the Namibian country I think there are a great impact I saw the slides of Aisha the yesterday talk there are three stories about the three general girls at Namibia and the impact of the three girls in the Nigeria as a very big because there are social areas with great impact and the Namibia was at January six months in six months there are six jungle girls at Nigeria and I think 180 attendees and a lot of people interested in participating in the community and the first first Python meetup men and women at Nigeria because the organization of jungle girls blogos there are a lot of things around the inclusion I don't know if you want to go through thank you very much for your talk it's a lot of fun and really enjoyable to go to places like Namibia but the end result also has to be that it makes sense from an economic or a business perspective in the end so the end result has to be that the software that the countries become significant enough that they're bringing money into those countries and developing the economies and skills in those countries and do you have any idea how we can best achieve that or what the best thing to do is to advance that so that as well as all this really important community work that we're doing there are actual real economic advantages to be gained by them good question there are some companies in our series that are moving from Java to Python because of the development of Python communities because for example my city is a great online course and we have some companies that decide to move our entire stock from Python from Java to Python because the community are now earning more money and have more projects because the ecosystem created by Python community good question and working better more questions any appreciation I'd like to ask another question and we were talking about this why do you think it is that in the media and Nigeria which are quite patriarchal cultures in many ways in these conferences in PyCon Namibia we had about 50% women why is it in Europe we struggle to do that why are they so successful and we're not I I really don't know We are discussing this at dinner two days ago because at South Africa is the country very near, is very different. At South Africa, there are some issues of racial issues. In my opinion, it's kind of, I think, the friendly nature of Namibian people. Actually, I quite didn't understand this. 50% that you have mentioned in several places happens by chance? Or is there any active position of the organization to make this happen? I think these of the conference, 50% are women. Yeah, yeah. But I think these are women. My question is, when you organize the event, do you say we have 50 places for women and 50? It just happens. I don't know if any, do you mind if I answer that or does anybody else actually have a question before I do that? If someone has a question. Oh yeah. So, about 50%, I can only talk about Namibia, Fernando couldn't talk about more places because he has more experience. Namibia, about 50% of the students studying computer science are female. So, it's not the case of South Africa, for example. But in Namibia, 50% of the students, of ITE students are women. There's a lot of different of the other countries. And even if you make huge efforts to address the imbalance, they're not always successful. It takes a huge effort to make a small effect. And in Namibia, we made efforts but I've never seen a conference like that. Probably somebody else should ask. So, thanks.
