Reached out to Python user groups in Ghana and Uganda to initiate work towards starting PyCon's in these country's for 2018. Worked on a speech to represent the PSF at PyCon Nigeria this coming September.

Reached out to NGO's who could potentially help allow the PSF to give funding to sanctioned countries in Africa.

4.16   Thomas Wouters

Continued administering #python on Freenode. Researched workgroups in general, with an eye towards potentially creating an IRC workgroup (possibly representing similar communities, like Slack, as well), depending on what the existing community wants and could get from such a WG. (The Code of Conduct workgroup may satisfy my own needs for interaction between #python and the PSF.) Joined the fledgling PSF Fellow WG, and followed along with the Infrastructure/Packaging WG's PyPI developments.

4.17   Paola Katherine Pacheco

Last month I had my first meeting with Ewa. I also had a small meeting with some Pyladies from Brazil about events and ideas that the PSF can help. I started to create a presentation based on the one presented by Ewa in Euro Python. I'm going to present it in Python Brazil, I think it might be a good idea to explain what the PSF is and how they can collaborate.
