PyLadies Global Chapter Websites

whykay 👩🏻‍💻🐈🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) - Jul 6 '20 -

This is related to PyLadies Dublin website, and I think it stemmed from my initial problem of domain not forwarding to right place and setting up my landing page.

PyLadies kickstarted a big tidy and asked its community to add their chapter to the new PyLadies Chapter website as a submodule on github.

If you run PyLadies and are not on PyLadies slack, you should join it and check out #project-tech-infra channel!

You can find information on how to add your chapter's website to PyLadies Chapter website here:
