While I'm back from Prague where I was taking part in #EuroPython2023, it's still very much on my mind! I wrote about what I did there, and some other related stuff.
It was a wonderful experience as usual thanks to all the wonderful people I met, to the organizers, volunteers and friends of Python Italia who are always ready to share a pizza 🇮🇹🍕🤗
At #EuroPython2023 I had a lightning talk about #Fedora 's special relationship with #Python (they love each other). Around the 4th minute, I was explaining how we test everything with Python 3.12 from the beginning and help fix thousands of upstreams. Somebody in the front of the room shouted "Thank You!" and the crowd applauded. I don't know who that person was, but they made my day. My month maybe.
I'm attending the Python Organizers' Panel: Exploring Community-Driven Python Conferences at EuroPython 2023 with Alexander Hendorf, Alessia Marcolini, Jimena Bermúdez, Bára Drbohlavová, Honza Javorek, Tim Hsu, David Vaz 🇪🇺🇨🇿🐍
It would be great if we could stop playing the "Q&A after the talk" game at conferences. Those are generally very low value to everybody but it gets even worse when you interrupt a speaker during their own time slot only to learn nobody has any questions anyway. Let the speaker talk, the Q&A isn't more important than what they prepared.
Sophie Wilson, the co-designer of the ARM processor, is telling it like it is in her #europython2023 keynote. The future is multicore. We have to address it.
Check out Larry Hastings's talk at #EuroPython2023, in their words: Appeal is a Python command-line parser unlike any other Looking for an alternative to "argparse", "click", or "docopt"? Appeal may be just what you're looking for! Give your program Appeal!
Check out @ambv 's talk at #EuroPython2023, in their words: We'll go through algorithms like Clifford attractors, slime mold simulation, and reduction of source imagery to geometric primitives. We'll generate images and animations in 2D and 3D and learn to create attractive visualisations out of thin air.
