<p class="color-contrast-medium has-text-dark">We create a second bot for our community and fill it up with simple,
fun and relatively easy issues. The idea is to create an approachable arena for our members to cut
their open-source teeth on, and to provide lots of help and hand-holding for those who get stuck.
We're training our members to be productive contributors in the open-source ecosystem.</p>

<p class="color-contrast-medium has-text-dark">At this point in time, there are only two serious Python communities on
Discord - Ours, and one called Do You Even Python. We approach the owners of DYEP with a bold
proposal - let's shut down their community, replace it with links to ours, and in return we will let
their staff join our staff. This gives us a big boost in members, and eventually leads to @eivl and
@Mr. Hemlock joining our Admin team</p>

changes, and since April 2020 we've started doing <a

teams of 2. We ask our participants to write a snake-themed Discord bot. Most of the code written
for this jam still lives on in Sir Lancebot, and you can play with it by using the
<code>.snakes</code> command. For more information on this event, see <a

can have more control over its features. We also buy a domain and start making a website in Flask.
