How to keep up with the @PyLadies
So I know the PyLadies are a hard group to keep track of, with all the hackathons, hacknights, workshops and pylady nights, these women are hard to track down!
So I started a search to hunt the PyLadies... here's the trail of clues:
First, I hopped into the #pyladies IRC channel on freenode. I noticed @sandymahalo was there and I said hi! First, pylady spotted!
Then, I pinged @PyLadies on twitter. Within minutes, @audreyr responded. Another pylady spotting!
Audrey told me about upcoming Pylady hacknights, which happen every other Monday in locales around the world, loosely organized via IRC #pyladies channel. I heard the PyLadies in Los Angeles were having regular in person meetings and since I live on the west side, I pinged @webdevgirl (xtine on IRC) about where she was organizing the West LA hacknight this coming Monday, July 25. She got right back to me and I met up with her and hacknighted it up!
After the hacknight was so successful, I thought I *must* see the photos. @backcode (Sophia) told me all about the PyLadies flickr page! Tagged!
I knew there must be more PyLadies lurking around, so I found out that @estherbester and @tiny_mouse (Jess) were organizing events at this year's Djangocon via the PyLadies website mailing list. Email input -- > updates received!
@kjam tracked down all of my hunting, so she bugged me to join the PyLadies Volunteer List so I could help out with the daily operations of PyLadies and all the fun events they put together.
I decided I liked this whole PyLadies thing, so after hunting them all down, I liked them on Facebook. Commence internet warm fuzzies.
Keep up with us in all of these many ways, or help create more. :)
♥, kjam
