Abstract
Fernando Masanori Ashikaga/Paola Katherine Pacheco/Kátia Nakamura - import community One of the biggest differences, in the Python community, is its effort to improve diversity. The authors will share experiences on diversity obtained from ten different countries: Namibia, UK, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Uruguay, Germany, Canada and Spain. There are other reports, that also we would like to share, which are only beautiful stories of how Python reaches the most distant people and places you may never have imagined. ----- One of the biggest differences, in the Python community, in relation to other communities, is its effort to improve diversity. There is even a Diversity Statement at PSF: "We have created this diversity statement because we believe that a diverse Python community is stronger and more vibrant. A diverse community where people treat each other with respect has more potential contributors and more sources for ideas." The authors will share experiences on diversity obtained from ten different countries: Namibia, UK, Japan, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Uruguay, Germany, Canada and Spain. There are other reports that we also would like to share, which are only beautiful stories of how Python reaches the most distant people and places you may never have imagined.

Transcript: English(auto-generated)
Hi, my name is Fernando We are from Brazil we are sharing experiences from a lot of countries Namibia, Python UK, Python Uruguay, Python Japan, Python Italy EuroPython, Python 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 PyCon At PyCon Three four years ago These two Pinterest developers had
problems at SciPy, we also had problems and We have always as is necessary to have efforts to contrast these problems
Gido our VFL always are wearing this Python is for girls t-shirts last years at EuroPython keynotes and is changing a subliminal message for us that
inclusion is important for us as community Definitively Gido is not a pop star Gido is always giving attention to everyone at PyCon
last year at my breakfast at PyCon Montreal I took this photo of Gido listening with full attention Paul Everett
sung with at least 20 minutes and a lot of it and in my opinion a lot of speakers Python in Python community are following the Gido
way of life at the corridors some numbers In this year, we have 40% of talk by women at PyCon 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 International forum of the fish softer have one track with only woman pilots track in the
last year the fish have more than 10,000 people in the conference This Little pilot girl she is 12 years old and she start coding using scratch when she was five and
Python with eight She 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 had a problem in this track because the speakers are almost majority of students In the Python community have a crowdfunding campaign
to cost the travel to the pilot is speakers When I tweet the campaign the two firsts that
They to help 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 Joanna is a very happy couple
Because there is no better recipe to be happy then go to 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 hour 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 Empathy to read the others The first day of Python Namibia at the end of jungle girls workshop
we arrived a bit earlier to the dinner party and the Namibian people are very friendly People gave us a show of dance and songs
Namibian Community there are some interesting things like go to the visitor People and preparing some dinner to the elder and
Last year and this year there are half percentage of attendees were women and these lighting talks Show us there are mixers races I
Come Japan then these years is about inclusiveness and our Community are happy with this. I will talk about some personal stories. I invited the Aisha To share this story, but unfortunately
He she is at this moment at Python Philly jungle come Aisha Is our organizer of jungle girl Lagos and Jungle girl Lagos have some different problems because some girls
Do not have personal computers But is a very successful workshop splitting floor Aisha Gave a yesterday talk about the this experience at
jungle come She is a co-organizer of this first icon Nigeria My first conference Python Brazil
After three months later, I organized the first jungle girls in Rio de Janeiro we have Four hundred seven two inscriptions
After that We don't have jungle girls in your python. It's a big conference and I began to organize it From Brazil
Okay, I work it as a Java Developed developer for five years in Like eight months ago. I first met jungle at jungle girls in my city as
attended Then I went to Rio as a quote at jungle girls real This is a picture from the the jungle girls in Rio and After that, I got a scholarship to what in the jungle cone in Budapest
in March here and Also this year. I got a job as a jungle developer In Czech Republic, so I move it to two here and I'm working with jungle now
and This this year, it's like my first year of Python and I'm with my friend I'm organizing the jungle girls in Bruno in Czech at Python CZ
To be in October this year He participated to jungle girls soldiers a dish company Will show
Because I do answer techy I will be ready Yeah, I'll soon for others internet. It'll tend to Procure a woman who is it you would you prefer? Okay, I'm going to get caught right you prefer For your lane if you can't face books as well. Just go to spirit
stood up for a Element. I don't want for my time. You know, I will come here to tell walls. I'm I started doing things, doing jobs, everything went well, thank God, but in the end, this is what I achieved in a group of people,
and through this conversation, this interaction with them, I was able to learn a little bit about the program, it was very interesting and very engaging, and through the work I did with them,
Raspi Berry, Arduinio, I studied with Arduinio, I studied with Raspi Berry, and I knew that I came here for me, especially after the deployment of Rinky Bass, for Ergidek and Fernando Masanore, especially those who are here, through the great help of these people,
who are here to support me, thank God, and to be able to send other people to study, to work with them, to meet with them, and to be able to represent their values, to give them a perspective of life,
a reason, very serious, as it is known in the study of the program.
From the other fields, they are not programmers. In three events, there are a lot of no-shows,
but in only one event, there are zero no-shows, last year, at the PyLadies event, and the Valentine's Day, PyLadies decided to make a workshop for couples,
there are some links, and this, how to implement your code of conduct, is a 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, the last obvious conference checklist,
I think is tangible and concrete, and in part community, as Nepal, this picture is a free software community of Nepal that submitted a project to teach Python
to Python Software Foundation, in part community as Uganda, is African Uganda community, this picture is from last PyCon Iran,
but most important in part community as me, because you are a part of this community, so make things happen. Thank you.
Thanks. 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, or is there a mailing list or something to offer oneself for helping, organizing some event or something you want, 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'm 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 that, my concrete question is, how do you feel, each of you, that learning to code actually changes everyday lives for people?
At Namibia, we are a lot of different attendees, there are some girls that are one of social science,
there are feminist activists that want to make a blog to spread social activities around the Namibian country, I think there is a great impact,
I saw the slides of Ayesha at the yesterday talk, there are three stories about the three gender girls
organized at Nigeria, and the impact of the three girls in Nigeria
is very big, because there are social areas with great impacts, and the PyCon Namibia was in January,
and we have six months, in six months there are six gender girls at Nigeria, and I think 180 attendees
and a lot of people interested in participating in the community, and the first Python meetup,
men and women at Nigeria, occurred because the organization of gender girls, Lagos, has a lot of things around the inclusion.
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 that the end result has to be that the software developers in those 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, I created an online course, and we have some companies that decide to move
our entire stack 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 work 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 places like Namibia and Nigeria,
which are quite patriarchal cultures in many ways, actually in these conferences in PyCon Namibia, we had about 50% women, and in Europe we struggle to do that. Why are they so successful, and we're not? I really don't know,
because we are discussing this at dinner two days ago, because at South Africa, the country very near is very different.
At South Africa, there are some issues of racial issues. In my opinion, I think it's 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 this of the conference, 50% are women.
Half of the attendees are women. My question is, when you organize the event, do you say we have 50 places for women? It just happens.
I don't know, do you mind if I answer that, or does anybody else actually have a question before I do that? If someone has a question, they should go. So, about 50%, I can only talk about Namibia, Fernando can talk about more places because he has more experience, but in Namibia, about 50% of the students studying computer science are female.
It's not the case of South Africa, for example. But in Namibia, 50% of the students, of IT students, are women. There is a lot of difference 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 a question. So, thanks.
