[Events] [Bpw-staff] Boston Python Workshop news: $3300 grant from the PSF!

[Deborah Nicholson]

I'm happy to feel out the situation in Portland and Seattle. In
particular, we have a great ally in OSU's OSL so I suspect a Portland
group might never have to worry about space. There are two times next
year when I'll be in the Pacific Northwest and could meet IRL with
folks up there.
Cheers,
Deb
