How PyLadies Brazil became the biggest PyLadies chapter of the world

Speaker 1: Hi. Um hi everyone, I am Taisviana And I come to Brazil to talk about a little bit uh Python Brasil community for you. First I would like to thank all the organizers who are doing a great job And well, I am Taisviana. I'm a master in artificial intelligence from Federal University on Rio de Janeiro. I am partner at Hub9, a software studio. And I am a computer engineer professor in a private college also in Rio. And I'm a proud member of Pilates Brazil board.

Speaker 1: And all these pieces together, it's kinda like me. And well what I would say Pilates Brazil become the biggest Pilate Brazil chapter in the world really means. There are some hero who never heard about Palais before. No one What is Pylladies? Pyladies is an international group focused on helping more women becoming active and participants. and leaders in Python open source community. PyLad is like a huge group with more than 100 chapters and more than We don't know the exactly number of the subcheptors, but just Brazil had third

Speaker 1: subceptors, so it's very huge. Okay, uh Brazil became the biggest pilotist in number of two chapters what this really means, but Brazil is very huge, it's fifth largest, and the mission today is tell you how we encourage people who live far away from the centers to start new groupais and live by native chapters. And tell a little bit how the growth of groupais in Brazil were responsible to create a safety, warm and receptive environment that creates a beautiful community. And this environment became very

Speaker 1: uh be built very before Parallelus LA and Parallelus Brazil creation And it started with the wheel of sharing knowledge to interact with developers and find new projects. And first PyCon day started just two years after the PyCon West US. And the desire of Sherik and Nolo to start a whole new movement. And this start was definitely the creation of PyB, the Python Brazil Association. Um Pyram Brasil Association is a non-profit entity responsible for legal and account board for the organizer

Speaker 1: of national regional events. And why a PIB is so important? I don't know how many of you ever try to organize a middle or big event. But looks like this. And we have to prevent the Python devs from Brazil to getting crazy with accounting and legal contract issues. And AppI B started to solve this problem. Um was not perfect, we will also have contractor issues and accounter issues. But the the Grady Association and you have so many events and stories

Speaker 1: And I don't and this is P P Pylates, so that's why I don't talk about Pylades yet. But before Paladin's Brazil creation, we are also talking about diversity. Brazil is a huge control with a very big socio-economic disparity. So if you if we from Byron Brazil community want to make a national impact you have to talk about um difference are not just gender and Humans differ in so many ways, not just gender, but race, religion, gender, uh identity, sexuality, nationality, class, neurodiversity, physical ability, and more and more and more.

Speaker 1: And this slide is stolen from Alm Seder, who 's talking about anti -partner diversity. If you have time you should see, and Alm Seder is uh great. And a lot of for it were done before the Palladius creation, like uh Brazil starts to write and collaboratively um the code of all counted um response groups before the Pylades creation. And there are women before Pylades. And

Speaker 1: Tanya will Tell you a little bit about time before paladies. C'est là

Speaker 2: of events in Brazil especially the nine hi guys I'm Tania I'm living in Canada about one year but I have organized dozens of events in Brazil, especially the Nine PyCon and the Plunning Conference in 2013. Two huge conference. But uh I remember that in 2006 I was just a girl struggling to pay my bills and uh uh save some money to go to this conference asking for more time to my boss. So yeah, we were just survivors, right? And I'm here to share with you some moments that was remarkable for me in this Python Brazil.

Speaker 1: Oh no Um Tonya is a very important woman in Pylators in Python community even before Pylators creation. And in 2013, a few friends come to PyCon US. and discover about pilates a lay and they think, whoa, this idea is great. And this guy, Fernando Massanori, is like our official ambassador. He started to encourage ever girl in Python community he found every student in

Speaker 1: college to start a new Pilates and destroy girls from Natal. Deborah and Gabi start the first pilot in Brazil, the first of America Latina, and start a whole new movement. And this is the first workshop given by Piladis Brazil in Natal. This is the first jungle girls from America Latina Uh in Rio Janeiro. And here you can see Mari. Mari 's there as well.

Speaker 1: She gives a great talk about optimization in Django Quest last year. And I don't know how many of you never heard about Jungle, Jungle Girls tutorial. Django Girls is a tutorial you can Deploy a blog jungle application in one day. Like six hours is a tutorial you deploy in one day. And is a very well writing writing tutorial and worldwise um And in Brazil, just in 2008, we

Speaker 1: 18. We organized more than 26 Django Girls and more than 30 Python and Give Git workshops. And these workshops impact a lot of lives in Brazil. And it we didn't expect this much of working in Pilates Active. So Last year, two days before Python Brazil, there also pilated Brazil conference, the first one. And in two thousand two thousand and seventeen, um Paola became the Python Brazil member and Python Software Foundation

Speaker 1: board director and she was the first Brazilian to the first woman Brazilian to become a PSF member. And these events start a broad new event like Anita 's. who is a talk show in a bar in Brazil in Florianopolis. It's very different of table discussion and talks and tutorials And Brazil has a say in the introduction start uh a lot of regional events. So pilotes are in the organization of a lot of regional events. And

Speaker 1: just like the work, work, work, work, work, what palarias are doing in Brazil, uh in every corner of Brazil. And we are a lot of girls doing a lot of job. This is the official photo by Pilates in three last years and Florianopolis, Belo Horizonte and Natal. And Python Brazil community is growing and the number of participating are growing, the the size of our conference. And Pylades, we we never think about Pylades like other community. Pylades the same in community. and it's like an open door when people

Speaker 1: can enter in community on Python community and they don't think they feel comfortable without the support we provide. So if you are a man and don't know how to help, you can buy the shirts and shirts help all the priorities in everyone in every country to pay for tutorials and food and events And just like the Bay Church support the idea, give a talk with a palatist church. And in Byron PyCon US 2003 and

Speaker 1: Paul Graham give a talk about what is uh Wonder Here 's programming language. And I closed these talks. Asking you what do you think about a 10-year community? What have we have to do to our community last 100 years? And if you you can reach me on email and social networks. Thank you

Speaker 3: Hello. Thank you, Tys, for a great presentation. We couldn't tell you were nervous at all. That was great. Any questions from the audience? Nobody? Russell?

Speaker 4: Okay. Um thank you for the presentation. At the beginning you mentioned the reason why something like PyLadies is important is because of all the organizing about getting uh getting permissions and licenses to organize an event. How did you find people who have those skills? to know what needs to be done. How do you recruit the people the right people into your organization to that have those skills to let you do those things?

Speaker 1: No, no, no. And it's like the reverse way. We recruit people with the will and teach them how to organize event. It's exactly like that.

Speaker 4: Okay, so you you don't actively look for someone who knows how to do accounting?

Speaker 1: accounting accounter and we contract them they pay for the job.

Speaker 4: Great. Thank you.

Speaker 1: Thank you.

Speaker 5: Sorry. And directly following from your answer, how do you recruit people with the will to uh organize these events? And

Speaker 1: surprisingly, there are a lot of people with the wheel in Brazil and it is not a job or you don't have struggle to do that. We say we'll have event and happen.

Speaker 3: One question for me. I'm from Argentina, so I'm always interested in the Django and the open source uh community in South America. Uh do you think companies actually care about open source? uh communities in in Brazil, for example. Do you think companies actually give employees time to contribute? Uh kind of going back to what Carlton was saying, like take ten percent of your pay time to contribute. Do you think that's a reality?

Speaker 1: Uh in Brazil you are so we have some some companies we pay for that in Argentina as well, like Eventbrite. It's start uh this is starting now, but it's happening.

Speaker 3: For example, is your company paying for your uh trip here.

Speaker 1: I'm partnering my company so I am

Speaker 3: okay thank you. Any more questions?

Speaker 6: Well actually I wanted to answer the f last question. Yeah. So how we get people to organize events. I came into the Python community from uh like I didn't know how to program. I started programming from the Python community and I have always had such a warm welcoming uh that now I want to give back and now I'm organizing an event uh in my region. So basically that's how the thing grows uh we get into the community community uh from that effort, from those people that bring us there. And now that we are there we just wanna give back and then we start organizing new things

Speaker 6: so things go go on.

Speaker 3: Okay, thank you Tys. You did great and now the moment you've all been waiting for lunch
