Issue #104 — America

Welcome to Issue #104, which marks two years of Pi Weekly!

This morning the Foundation announced the forthcoming Picademy USA, due to pilot in early 2016, and earlier in the week they announced they’re running an Education Summit at EuroPython in Bilbao, Spain in July.

If you’d like to sponsor Pi Weekly to promote your product or KickStarter campaign, drop me an email at submissions@piweekly.net and help support the newsletter.

Until next week
