| Hi, I'm Matthew, here's a project that isn't as technical as others, but still related to programming :) I'm running a non-profit in Florida called Tampa Bay Python [0] that has a meetup group [1] of 1,800 members. I'm looking for someone who is interested in growing the organization with me into a strong community name. We're funded mostly by donations and the rest out of my own pocket. Some things I am planning on introducing in the coming months are: - more hackathon and interview prep-like events - more technical presentations (presented by myself & others who have asked to speak on a topic) - a monthly newsletter about: python news, open job reqs, tips & tricks Longer term goals are: - perform multi-day workshops & training courses - work with local universities to find volunteer contributors to the org - find employers who are hiring and push candidates to their pipeline - find other non-profit projects that need contributors Our team is comprised of 2 others who are remote, so all async communication is held on Slack & Notion. My background: write Python for day job as distributed systems engineer, but really enjoy working with people, especially newbies and self-starters. If you're interested, reach out to me personally at: mgranda [at] tampabaypython [dot] org. [0] https://tampabaypython.org/
