@rennerocha@pycon No, only the regular talks and keynotes were recorded and will be available. Not the sponsored talks or summits, although I think the typing summit made ad-hoc recordings. #PyConUS#PyCon#PyConUS2024
(minor quibble I forgot to include: a survey including “oi what was ur COVID test result a week after attending?!” should probably be scheduled to email out at least one week after the main conf ends, not only a few days 🫠)
The most frustrating part of the #PyConUS mask discussion to me is how it’s 100% focused on “your discomfort” vs “other ppl’s health”.
The MAJOR exclusionary nature of masks is inverted, tho! Of course are there ppl who don’t want to wear one for comfort or can’t for medical reasons. But the majority I talked to would be happy to wear one but wished if OTHERS didn’t wear one, so they could understand them (better, or at all). (1/4)
@onepict#pyconus had a masking requirement this year. It was a drag, some people stayed home. 2700 people from all over the world in small rooms for four days. So far, no one got sick. Yay #PyConUS2024
Maybe you wanted to give a talk at #PyConUS or one of our friends like #PyTexas, #PyCascades, or #NBPy but it didn't work out? Maybe you saw or learned something that got you inspired?
#PyOhio is coming in July, and our CFP is open for the next ~20 hours -- we'd LOVE to hear from you while we still can! We gladly welcome speakers of all experience levels (❤️ new folks!) and a wide array of topics -- if you're excited about something, share it!
I was at #pyconus last Friday to this Thursday. I tested Thursday night and again today: both negative, and no symptoms.
I actually think it's cool from a systems perspective that someone tested positive (from a human perspective I'm sympathetic and I hope they get well soon :) ) and others didn't—it means the measures of masks and ventilation actually worked, and it wasn't just that no virus was around. It means people who need to take more precautions can participate.
The #pyconus venue was surprisingly well-ventilated - the sprint rooms seemed to get to at worst ~550 ppm CO2 (fresh outdoor air is ~450). During sprints the highest CO2 I saw was in my hotel room from me alone asleep!
The train was quite bad, and the other spike in the middle was a local church, which gives you a point of reference for a fairly typical indoor space with under a hundred people, relatively spread out, after just an hour.
I just did my post-#PyConUS covid test and it came up negative. Sharing a sold-out conference with 2,500 people and not coming home with some bug is no small feat, and I'm glad that PyCon has a sensible mask policy (mask indoors, but not at meals or when speaking or taking photos).
I'm filling out the #PyConUS attendee survey and they asked what the highlight of the conference was for me.
Finding out 1) what funiculars are 2) riding a funicular and 3) finding out that "Funiculi, Funicula" opera that Pavarotti sang is about funiculars are in the top 10.
The existence of the term "con crud" really should have been a greater indicator of how spaces are constructed and managed to exacerbate or mitigate the spread of illness.
Updating the Turn the Tables repository with lessons learned from #PyConUS. If you have ideas for how to improve the booth, please open an issue or a PR, and feel free to help tackle any of the open issues!
This is the first year that after the #PyConUS sprints, I find myself scanning the recent issues and pull requests on CPython's repository to watch the improvements happen on a Python feature in real-time. ⏳
I was planning to wait until the next beta to re-install Python 3.13, but I had to try it out again yesterday after seeing some fixes land. 💗
I'm not a #Python core developer and I'm not usually an early adopter, but I am so excited for each new improvement in the new Python REPL. 🎉
Wrapping my 3rd #PyConUS has me reflecting on the journey from literally asking my friends "uh is Python good?" in October 2021, to my first PyCon in April 2022, not knowing a soul in the community outside of PSF staff and having no idea what to expect and then meeting some folks who've become beloved friends, to feeling more confident and integrated last year, to exiting the final keynote this year and hardly being able to make it across the room greeting friends and colleagues (1/2)
When preparing my #PyConUS slides, I noticed copying and pasting from #PyCharm into #Keynote kept the colours.
So I switched PyCharm into light theme and copied code into PyCharm, and them into Keynote. Then I can change the font size and edit directly in Keynote as needed, like adding the comments in red.
