At #PyConUS2023, @davidism facilitated an open space discussion of "maintainer #burnout, how to survive it, and maybe how to prevent it." Our notes, my analysis, and useful links in a new blog post:
Would love suggestions/additions! This is a list I brainstormed just now, in order to create something to iterate on - I suspect it's missing quite a lot.
@shauna ooooh, I am writing a follow-up to the #PyConUS2023 open space on maintainer burnout that @davidism facilitated, and this link is going in there!
I have gotten a negative on an antigen test and a Lucira rapid molecular test since leaving #PyConUS2023 a few days ago, in addition to my negative tests while in Salt Lake City, so things are looking good so far re: #COVID. Hope others have also remained uninfected!
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!
He's one of the maintainers of @urllib3, one of the most (the most?) downloaded Python libraries, you probably don't use it directly, but you probably use something that uses it. 😎
@PyConUS Does anyone know if there are plans to send out a COVID survey again this year after the event is done? I'm curious if we saw any spread like we did last year. #PyCon#PyConUS#PyConUS2023
I learned about two new things at #PyConUS2023 PyPI Organizations and #TrustedPublishers, but I got the feeling the needs have not been identified properly
Orgs - single organization might be the popular case, but the interface feels like that is the only case for now
Trusted Publishers - writing "like Github" while having only Github as an option is ridiculous, what about GitLab, Codeberg, sr.ht or self-hosted instances of any of them? what about dedicated CI services?
This past weekend at PyCon US I received this - sort of the Python community lifetime achievement award.
The projects that lead to this award were never solo efforts, they were all team efforts, so for me the significance of this award is as a reminder of the things we built together more than as a personal thing.
(Some have already made fun of me for saying that ("oh, how Hollywood of you"), but it's the truth and I refuse to let those clowns bring me down. 😝)
"Our track organizers put together an incredible list of tracks including FOSS For Education, #OpenSource AI + Data, Science of Community, #FOSS in Daily Life and much much more."
Hey #PyConUS#PyConUS2023 attendees! I need to write up a conference report for work. If you have any photos of the Auth0 booth or me with the “authccordion,” please send them my way!
Still working through a backlog of photos, but this one was too good not to share while everyone is still following #pyconus#pycon#pycon2023 and #pyconus2023
