Keynote: Argentina in Python
summary
Argentina en Python is a grassroots project that travels across Argentina and nearby countries to seed local Python communities by running workshops, code sprints and about 30 Django Girls tutorials, translating key documentation, and migrating scientific Fortran scripts to Python. It covers 60,000 km and 100+ cities with 70+ events, funded by PSF microgrants, uses mailing lists and Django tutorial materials for outreach, and demonstrates that small, repeated local events reliably build sustained communities.
