Spent the weekend at PyConfHyd representing @scipyindia.bsky.social; met familiar faces, had some really good conversations around the booth, and enjoyed catching up with folks.
Also really enjoyed Parul pandey's keynote.
Wrote a blog post about the experience: haleshot.github.io/posts/pyconf...
🎉 JupyterLite is now part of Project Jupyter!
