“PyCon has all these workshops on how to get into open source, but it doesn’t have any on how to get out”
(Followed by a mix of laughter and knowing groans)
Is your throat a little scratchy from talking excitedly to more people in two days than you usually do in a month? Or is it Covid? We have free rapid tests in the staff office (room 306) if you want to make sure you know the answer. #PyConUS
I was exhausted by #PyConUS but was pretty sure @brainwane's closing keynote would be good, so I showed up.
She hit it out of the park. This is one you should check out when the video gets uploaded.
"Infrastructure is how we care for each other at scale."
Glad so many people enjoyed my #PyConUS keynote sharing stories from several years working on #Python packaging infrastructure.
http://harihareswara.net/posts/2024/references-pycon-us-keynote/ has a bunch of links and other references, and I hope to post a fuller transcript with slides within the next few weeks. If there is anything you particularly want sooner than that - or anything you want to tell me you really liked! - please let me know.
Impromptu #WanderingShop admin meeting at #PyConUS
Meet these hidden heroes! @ThePSF staff that help keeping the community alive and making #PyConUS happens every year!
$11,000 raised for @blackpythondevs at #PyConUS!
And we’ve still got a day left — let’s keep it going: http://blackpythondevs.com
Phase 1 (we are here): optional, compile-time option for free threading instead of the GIL. Unsupported, experimental, get lots of feedback
Phase 2: support but not default. Stabilize the ABI and API, support noGIL as a build option, but not default. Could still revert if something goes terribly wrong.
Phase 3: default. Still possible to disable free threads and go back to the GIL, but noGIL is now the default.
Timeline for all of this is TBD, but, holy shit, it’s happening!
We just raised over SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in the annual PyLadies auction at #PyConUS ‼️‼️holy moly that is more than ever before 🤯 Thank you to all the donors and winners - we had so much fun and can’t wait to turn around and give back every penny to lifting up our fellow PyLadies 💕
Here is a blog post with links and references to accompany my closing keynote today at #PyConUS , on stories from a few years working on #Python packaging.
