PyConZA 2013: "Hack where it matters" by Simon de Haan

The best of our brains are often spent on problems that mostly benefit a minority most when solved while there is a host of problems that are generally easy to get involved with that could benefit the majority.

This will be a talk where we highlight the benefits of Python in solving problems that benefit the majority world. The kinds of skill sets that would amplify ones impact when solving these problems.

Building our experience at the Praekelt Foundation I'll be discussing and showcasing some example initiatives that one could get involved in and what the long term benefits for a developer are once they do get involved.
