Chapter Request: Lagos, Nigeria

[vunderkind]

Where

I'm keen to open a Papers We Love chapter in Lagos state, Nigeria (potentially beginning remotely — if that's within reason for the community). I checked the existing issues (both open and closed) and didn't find one for Lagos, Nigeria — but I'm happy to be pointed to one if it exists!

Who

Justin Irabor (lives and works in Lagos state and Germany)
LinkedIn
GitHub

When

Once a month, in-person (Yaba and/or Lekki in Lagos) and virtually (Twitter space and on Zoom). Proposed first event will be in February 2024 (roughly a month from sending hin this PR)

Background

I am a software engineer with four years' experience, and I began my career in web development though I work in AI for the International University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. I'm also undergoing an MSc program in Computer Science in Berlin as well. I'm looking to connect with a local community of my peers who are interested in reading and discussing pivotal (and interesting) computer science papers.

Code of Conduct

I have read and agree with the code of conduct.
