#PyConUS #Python
I met Thomas Wouters in the hotel lobby. We talked about Python, community, the people who make it what it is.
Three days later he was called on stage as a Distinguished Service Award recipient. He gave no hint.

5 tables and a bunch of chairs at a slightly snake-like bench in lobby of The Westin Long Beach, where board games will be played
I love playing games in hotel lobbies during @pycon.us.
It's hard to think of someone as an unapproachable stranger when you've spent 20 minutes playing a game in a small group with them.
I plan to play games in The Westin lobby during #PyConUS at least a couple nights.
See you at The Westin?
Why are we even having something called "Pentagon Worship Services?" If we're just going to mash things together, I think we should be shooting for "Sushi at the Laundromat" and "Foot Massages in the DMV Waiting Area" and not this 1A hot mess.
Truly the most ridiculous and terrible timeline.
That's a very big hole
Using #Python for #AI but not involved in the community? You're leaving a lot on the table! Watch the PSF's Executive Director @eximious.bsky.social on #PyTV from @jetbrains.com to explore why community participation is at the core of Python's power. 🎤🐍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkN7...
Real talk on PyCon US hotels and conference economics.
Nice to have a succinct list from the Republican Senator of all the useless protest methods.
My talk, "Who is Python for? EVERYONE (and why that matters)" from PyData Boston last month is up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPQg...
The home of Hannah Natanson, a Washington Post reporter, was searched by the FBI. Her devices were seized. I spoke to @columjournreview.bsky.social about the potential damage and what news organizations need to know. www.cjr.org/news/hannah-...
Other states are taking action against ICE violence. MA should join them.

MA lags behind other blue states in the basics when it comes to limiting police collaboration with ICE. Far past time to correct that and catch up. actionnetwork.org/letters/ma-n...
See you all tomorrow morning! It's going to be a pretty nice temperature to leave your house and hang out with other Pythonistas tomorrow! #BostonCaveats
Thank you to everyone who's donated to the PSF this year!!
Recursion, whoa
Thanks, @redmonk.com! Our Executive Director @eximious.bsky.social had a great time meeting with @kateholterhoff.com and chatting about computing trends.
Talk with your colleagues about safety protocols. When is it okay to share each other's contact information? If you're in the office, how do you field requests from unexpected visitors? Is there a manager or department leader willing to field emails on your behalf?
Things we learned from my wife being profiled by Campus Reform a few years ago:
- Be careful responding to emails from people you don't know asking about your research
- Don't list your office location on your university web profile page
Even if 100% of the stories are "bad about a person" it is still free speech.
Wow! Free speech is under attack and you're calling for apologies? I guess we can put @variety.com on the list of spineless MAGA shills.
This happens tomorrow!
Thanks so much for having me on the show!
Don’t miss this podcast episode with the PSF’s Executive Director, @eximious.bsky.social, on funding open source, PyCon US, global community support & the importance of sustainability!
I think many people were outraged about the Minnesota lawmaker who was murdered but we trusted Tim Walz not to rile up a bunch of barely verbal vigilantes to make sure that loads and loads more "political violence" immediately followed.
