After some break, back to the place where I found happiness.
This time. Let's discuss HTTP in Python.
NOTE:
1. All the newbies are welcome.
2. My talk assumes no pre-requisite knowledge.
3. I'll start from scratch. :)

Come to attend the talk by @ArchanaIyer1996 on "Bot to combat sexism". Check out the detailed description here: https://t.co/RVcoW4t3r4

@hellonehha We would still be making announcements on Twitter and our mailing list. 😃

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

Important announcement: We're going to cease existing on https://t.co/9VTXLbqsnx after July 7. The decision was taken into account due to various reasons, the most crucial one being there was no improvement in the reach to women, the number of women on Meetup group is quite low.

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@ashokdey_ Thanks for your consideration. 😊

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@siddhesh_p @Nisha_Poyarekar Thank you very much for being so generous. But we are not facing sponsorship issues, it is more like diverting from our goal if we stay on meetup. Meetup is not helping us reach out to women. Our group is only full of men and meetups also see very low turnout of females.

Talk #2 for the meetup this Saturday.

Please expect all the updates here on Twitter itself. Thanks for all the support. 🧡💚💙💖

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

Also, shoutout to @Manas_tech for making a poster for us!

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@kindavishal TG: We are. But sadly due to many harrassment cases, we have shut down telegram entry for men unless they attend a meetup. They can meet an admin, inform them of their identity and then be added to the group.
IRC: Very few to no people stay active there.

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

We are very short of volunteers at the moment. Could you help us survive? Need help managing meetups, engaging more women, talks and maintaining the active communication in our community channels.

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@prabhuShivSingh @ilugdelhi Yes, you can. You could help us with posters or getting more women speakers or social media outreach.

[PyCon India @pyconindia]

Have a favorite women speaker / blogger / coder who you think should take the stage at #PyConIndia2019?

Give them a gentle nudge, by tagging them.

Please RT #Python @WomenInTech @PyLadies @WomenWhoCode @DjangoGirls @WomenTechmakers

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@iroshankedar @internetfreedom Not right now. We would require someone to take the lead for that in Pune.

[PyLadies Bengaluru @pyladiesblr]

It's Marvelous May! We're back with Talks w/ PyLadies!
Tag along w/ your friends to learn
- fundamentals of Apache Spark & PySpark
- necessary basics of PyTorch as framework for deep learning research
RSVP👉🏾https://t.co/YqwIl28hPS
All you need a teeny bit of curiosity for things!

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@TheNikhita No, they do not. Tasks such as reaching out to female speakers in Delhi over email/Twitter, making posters, reaching out to possible venue partners, bringing in more female participation, etc can be performed remotely.

[LinuxChix India @linuxchixin]

@StarOrion25 We'd be delighted to have you in our meetup this Sunday for a talk in Noida (NCR) if its not too early for you. In any case, please make an issue on our github repo (https://t.co/4zezBLcM1h) about your talk so that we do not miss it.
Thank you very much. ❤️

[Anuvrat Parashar @bhanuvrat]

So, @pyconindia is accepting proposals for talks: https://t.co/Zji8bTbyL6

Lets pledge to at least make every woman in our professional circle aware of the opportunity.

any takers?
