#pycon
A celebration of my friend, Dr. Mel Chua, #opensource #Python hacker, free-range learning researcher, comic book artist, #PyCon speaker, and #disability rights activist: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2023/a-celebration-of-my-friend-dr-mel-chua/
@mchua deposited their doctoral dissertation this year, and so they now hold a doctorate in engineering education. Yay!!!
Mel has metastatic bladder cancer. Their GoFundMe fundraiser is https://www.gofundme.com/f/melchua : "Get Mel Out Of Oncology and Back to Pedagogy"
I'm so excited to join @pyconsweden this November to talk about Debugging Python!
Come to Stockholm and let's chat about debugging and Python and development and all the fun stuff under (or above) the sun.
🙌 We'd like to send out a massive thank you to everyone who contributed to #pyconcz 23. Whether you attended, delivered a talk, or volunteered — you're the heartbeat that makes it what it is. 💙 💛
While we work on releasing all the videos, we invite you to check out inspiring stories from various community members sharing their motivations why they do what they do. 💬💙 💛
#PyCon #community
Thank you @pyconcz for an incredible conference. ❤️
I got to spend the past 4 days with incredible people from the Czech Python community and pythonistas all around the world.
Learning, inspiring, getting inspired and just having plain old fun.
When I got to the hotel last night, I felt emotionally, socially and professionally fulfilled.
Most importantly, I felt like I was with a community belong in. With friends – new and old.
@pyconee23 Time to leave Tallinn, heading back to Helsinki and then Madrid. Safe travels everyone, see you soon!

I can’t be recognised by my proximity to the hat, but I’ve not yet misplaced this pink octopus.

Arrived late just in time to hear Elena Williams name-drop GDA2020 and speed-run a description of GeoJSON. So pacing, many depth; I am SO going to watch this when Ctrix gets the video out. https://2023.pycon.org.au/program/SBZNPD #PyConAu2023 #PyCon

Anyone have a date/location yet for #pycascades 2024? I'm sitting near our scientific programming / data viz folks and am trying to entice some of them into going. #python #pycon
My personal highly-nuanced take on international #Python conferences:
I want there to be a #PyCon in every country, as welcoming as possible within local law, so that people can learn and network without leaving their country. International attendees and speakers are _guests_ of the host country, and attend (or opt to not) subject to local customs.
International events are about bringing community together from many countries, and should be in a place that's maximally welcoming for the region.
PyCon Italia has published the video recordings of its 2023 talks 🇮🇹🐍

Signed up for #PyCon #Taiwan, and this is a return after 10 years. Except this time only as audience, while back then I had a talk as well. Either way, I'm looking forward to it, and it's nice that my company covers the registration :) #PyConTW2023
I really liked this talk by Andrea Guarino on how to incrementally start improving your code quality with linters from @pycon
The main idea is to not show all the problems in your code but rather just the ones that were generated with the new changes.
This makes it easier to approach as you see a smaller subset of messages and don't have to worry about fixing everything in the old codebase.
@yossarian @openssf @trailofbits @pypi I am wondering if you can submit and then give a talk on this in #PyCon #Sweden in November? The event is on 9-10th November, in #Stockholm.
@pyladies_bot @cheukting_ho thanks so much! That’s an excellent post full with tips and tricks on how to get ready for public speaking and conference presentations 🙌

Did you submit your #Python talk in @pyconsweden yet? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebISd6uvGN6QB9MMdfib6UpHyleNcvXOvyZf9Jfkt0YrTtuA/viewform #CFP is open. This is your chance to present your work in front of the #community in #Scandinavia
We are only active #PyCon in this region. The conference is on 9-10th November 2023 in #Stockholm.
Please share for wider reach.
If you liked my #PyCon keynote (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5QaOADqSyY&t=177s), Adam Silkey did a great lightning talk on similar ideas: Zen of Python, but for People: https://youtu.be/ziF44HeJatA?t=1197
It loooks like I’m headed to Portugal in September for PyCon Portugal! #pycon
In Brandt Bucher’s #pycon ‘23 talk “Inside CPython 3.11’s new specializing, adaptive interpreter” (which is great BTW), he says that reducing the number of bytecode caches leads to shorter jumps which improves performance.
Why is this?
I don’t think CPython bytecode is JIT’d so the CPU icache probably isn’t related.
Maybe smaller bytecode objects can be packed more closely so the dcache is more effective? Or there are fewer hot regions of data to keep in the dcache?
@arrowtype BTW, I used Recursive in my #PyCon keynote, and there's a surprise typographic history chunk in the middle!

Tickets for North Bay Python 2023 are on sale now!
Come join us for a tech conference on a farm in actual Sonoma County, California, July 29th and 30th. Details at https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2023/
so we have done an program for #nbpy 2023! we received an incredible number of fantastic proposals, and i'm deeply disappointed we lack the time and space to give all of them a stage — thank you to everyone who submitted! very much looking forward to revealing more about our speakers and talks soon!
What I tried to do: watch the new #pycon videos
What actually happened: I caught up on my @talkpython backlog
“Data analysis with #SQLite and #Python is a video from #PyCon of the full 2hr45m tutorial I gave there last month. The handout notes for that are available online too.” - @simon

I know y'all are now binging on those #PyConUS 2023 keynotes and talk videos which are now released on YouTube, but your experience won't be the same unless you also watch the welcome message from your conference chair 😊 (https://youtu.be/eZwHvBsoPn4)
We shared our 20 years of @pycon flashback 🤩.
I get to introduce my #IceCreamSelfie tradition. 🍦🤳
I shared how PyCon has changed my life, and thus I wish for you to experience the magic of PyCon too ✨
So apparently I was quoted during the #PyCon 2023 keynote, which is the second time I’ve been quoted at PyCon…which is two times more than I’ve spoken at PyCon.
It’s not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
The @pycon US 2023 videos are on YouTube now! 💖
These videos aren't yet on https://pyvideo.org though. In fact #PyCon US 2022 videos aren't either. Why not...? 🤔
Well, no one has volunteered to scrape the data from YouTube and add it to pyvideo yet!
YOU could be the one to add them!
If you have some time this weekend, this would be an awesome way to contribute to the #Python community.
See these two issues:

It's the last day we're accepting talk proposals! We don't need to extend our deadline, so we won't.
What does that mean? If you want a chance to be on stage at North Bay Python, you need to get a talk in TODAY.

We're still accepting talk proposal ideas for North Bay Python!
If you've done something the Python community might like to know of, why not submit a talk? Submissions close May 19th.
All the details, and a link to our form are at: https://2023.northbaypython.org/speak #NBPy #python #PyCon
And, as of today, a negative PCR test, nearly a week after I left Salt Lake City. Looks like #PyConUS's #COVID mitigations, and my precautions, worked for me!
More on what I did: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2023/pycon-2023-argument-clinic-mitigating-covid-risk/ & https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2022/how-i-thought-about-an-in-person-conference-choice/ . I did find that the CO2 levels in some indoor spaces were ~500-600ppm, near outdoors levels, and thus was ok with lowering my mask to sip something indoors, which I did ~15-20 times.
