About us
PyLadies San Francisco is a large chapter of the international PyLadies mentorship group (fiscally sponsored by the Python Software Foundation) with a focus on helping people who identify as women in a way significant to them become active participants and leaders in the Python community in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We promote, educate and advance a diverse Python community through online community, outreach, education, conferences, events, and social gatherings.
Here is the global PyLadies Code of Conduct. PyLadies SF applies the more-specific LadyNerds Code of Conduct because we are dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, welcoming, and harassment-free space and experience for all members and guests, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, socioeconomic status, body size, ethnicity, nationality, level of experience, age, or religion (or lack thereof). The Code of Conduct exists because of that dedication. We do not tolerate harassment in any form and we prioritize marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort.
To contact us, please email sf@pyladies.com or message one of the organizers on the PyLadies Slack. If you'd like to participate in one of our events but have reasons not to have an online presence, please feel free to contact us.
Please make donations here to support our specific chapter of PyLadies.
