PyCon US Conference Chair is checked in and reporting for duty 🫡
#PyConUS
The records you all broke at PyCon US:
- # of proposals in CFP
- # of registrations since pandemic
- spike in new registrations (10%) so close to the conference that we had to lock it down
(I thought we'd be done breaking records at this point)
- # of toots using official hashtag during the conference @fedidevs (each day we broke our own record from the day before)
- $ PyLadies auction proceeds
So grateful for everyone for the support and making history!! 🤩🤩🤩
#PyConUS
Folks are asking what's next for me after #PyConUS.
I'm trying to figure out how to actually get paid doing things I'm good at 🤑
I'm working on finalizing how "Mariatta as a Consulting Service" would look like, so stay tuned for news.
Meanwhile one way you can support me is by sponsoring me on GitHub.

Thanks to the 11 people who are currently already sponsoring me.
I'm still at the sprints and would be happy to chat more in person!
My travel begins!

Is there some kind of record for how many people you get to selfie with at once?
#PyConUS
I declare the "Oh baby" ice cream flavor from Millie's Homemade as the official #PyConUS ice cream flavor.
Crumbled tender slices of frosted birthday cake and lots of rainbow sprinkles into a UPMC-purple vanilla ice cream.

My own personal records broken during PyCon US 2024:
- speaking my native language to 5 other people at a technical conference (last record was 2 at PyCon US 2023)
- selfie with most number of people 🤪
- making 4 "releases" in a single weekend 😜
Only possible at #PyConUS
Inspired by Netflix's Meet the Cast video series, I decided to create "Meet PyCon US Keynote Speakers" video series to introduce them and to share a sneak peek of what you can expect from their sessions.
Thanks @kjaymiller, @brainwane, @simon, and Kate Chapman for meeting with me for these videos.
