Let's contribute to pandas - no prior experience required!

Title: Let's contribute to pandas

Description:
PyData London and PyLadies London have teamed up again to bring you this amazing workshop!
pandas is a data wrangling platform for Python widely adopted in the scientific computing community. In this session, you will be guided on how you can make your own contributions to the project, no prior experience contributing required! Not only will this teach you new skills and boost your CV, you'll also likely get a nice adrenaline rush when your contribution is accepted!

Format for the session:
First 15minutes : introduction - what you can contribute, how to contribute, and how to set up your development environment;
The rest : "office hours", during which you'll be mentored through setting up a development environment and making a contribution to pandas.

To get the most out of the session, it's encouraged (but not required) that you have a look at the contributing guide beforehand: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/dev/development/contributing.html . Everyone is welcome to attend this session - if you've never contributed to open source software before then you will learn how to, and if you have experience contributing then you can either help mentor other attendees or you can work on more challenging contributions.

The session will be lead by Marco Gorelli (Senior Data Scientist at Gousto, pandas maintainer)
