[mpw-staff] Columbus workshop: Jan 18-19

[Catherine Devlin]

Hooray, I got a venue pinned down in time to make a ALD announcement!
I've got some good leads on lunch sponsors, too (though I'm still
quite open to suggestions).

Announcing the first Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friends!
Jan. 18-19, 2013

The Columbus Python Workshop for women and their friends is a free
hands-on introduction to computer programming that's fun, accessible,
and practical even to those who've never programmed at all before.  We
empower women of all ages and backgrounds to learn programming in a
beginner-friendly environment.

Thanks to Pillar Technologies for hosting the workshop in their
brand-new office in Columbus' Short North!

The workshop is the latest in a series based on the famous Boston
Python Workshop; they've already introduced hundreds of beginners to
programming in Boston, Indianapolis, Portland, Chicago, and Kansas
City.  Now it's Ohio's turn, so spread the word!

* Happy Ada Lovelace Day!  Traditionally, Ada Lovelace Day is
celebrated by highlighting the achievements of present and past women
in programming.  Today, instead, I'm saluting the contributors of the
future! *

Meanwhile, for Dayton, I've got a lunch sponsor but not yet a venue.
It's a little comical how difficult it is to find places in Dayton
that stay open Friday night.
