My talk for DjangoCon Africa ๐น๐ฟ has been accepted ๐ฅณ I'm very excited ๐คฉ as this will be first time in Africa ๐ ๐ and a little nervous, it will be my first time on such a big stage ๐ค ๐ค ๐ฌ ๐ #djangoconafrica #django #python
We wrapped up #djangocon for 2023 at 17:00 Eastern Time today. Exactly 2 weeks and 20 minutes before my flight leaves for #DjangoConAfrica.
It's DjangoCons all the way down.
Well done to the social managers of DjangoCon Africa for the total coverage of the conference here on the Fediverse. ๐
Sharing images and information live during a conference is a demanding job and I know it well. ๐
For those like me who were unable to participate in this first DjangoCon Africa in person, it is wonderful to be able to follow everything that happens in Zanzibar. ๐
Have a good conference. ๐ค

So many African developers have to work so much harder than those of us in Europe and the US.
At #DjangoConAfrica I'm learning first hand about connectivity issues and frequent power cuts; and I'm hearing about people having to begin programming with pen and paper because their computer availability was limited.
These developers have to work so much harder than I ever have, and yet they're so positive and driven. Huge respect.
Time to go home๐ I'm honored to have been the small part of the 1st ever DjangoCon Africa @djangoconafrica ๐น๐ฟ๐๏ธ๐ Thanks to all organizers and attendees, you're the best๐ I have lots of new friends๐ค๐ค #djangoconafrica #django #python #africa
