FYI, I just noticed this message on Wikitech-l. Might be of
interest to some of you.

Hello Folks!
For the Python enthusiasts on these lists, I’m signal boosting
this message with info on PyCon dev sprints and financial
assistance for the conference from a former Wikimedia colleague.
I plan to attend PyCon this year and am also hoping to figure out
setting up a development sprint around some Wikimedia Cloud
Services and Toolforge code.

I wanted to mention - feel free to pass this on publicly and in
personal
invitations - that PyCon North America, mid-April in Pennsylvania,
offers financial assistance to people who would like to attend:
https://us.pycon.org/2020/financial-assistance/
<https://us.pycon.org/2020/financial-assistance/>
The deadline for requesting financial assistance is 31 January.
PyCon loves to cross-pollinate with other free and open source
movements, and I know there are many Python developers in
Wikimedia
tech. If Wikimedians want to use the April 20-23 in-person sprints
https://us.pycon.org/2020/events/sprints/
<https://us.pycon.org/2020/events/sprints/> (will be
editable soon)
to work on Wikimedia-related Python tools together, that would be
cool!
Best wishes.
