PyCon US 2024

Day 9: Sprints (36)

First thoughts coming back from : Do you know anyone who works hard but is unrecognized in your community? Nominate them for stuff at the @thepsf ! Don't know what or how? I've written a README here:

I’ll also just add — look, I’m someone who has decided to accept a fair amount of COVID risk. I’m living a life now pretty similar to pre-2020. I don’t mask much in daily life. I’d feel comfortable at a conference without a mask. I’m a bit hard of hearing and mildly face-blind so masks actually are a bit tricky for me. But I’m still all for a mask mandate because it’s not just about me! It’s about inclusivity and being welcoming and JFC wearing a mask is easy so why not?

Probably long overdue, but after my (great) experience at I decided to become a PSF member today. If you value something, support it. The default fee is $99 USD, but they recently created a sliding scale to make it more accessible across the world.

If for no other reason*, I support a mask requirement at because the kind of person who doesn’t attend because they’re required to mask is the kind of person who I don’t want to hang out with anyway.

(* and there are lots of other good reasons too)

Flask-Mail 0.10 released, after a 10 year hiatus! Thanks to @wlach for picking it up at the sprint. This is part of my Pallets-Eco initiative to get old popular extensions maintained again. It's been unarchived and refreshed. I went through and closed out a lot of the issue backlog. We'll have to figure out what a 1.0 release will look like. github.com/pallets-eco/flask-m

Left from about 33 hrs ago. Had a scratchy throat this morning w/ a negative test and just now have a positive test.

I went out with various groups, unmasked, throughout the weekend. This was a risk I was willing to take. Still, I'm glad I was wearing a mask in the convention center around folks who did not choose to take that same risk.

I'm gonna go rest now.

Since people seem to like polls about the mask policy, let's try these two:

First, if you attended or considered attending 2024, and are considering attending PyCon US 2025, which of the following mask policies would you be okay with (i.e., which policies would _not_ make you decide not to attend)?

Nostalgia makes us valorize the past. And yes, Pythonland was joyful and fulfilling in "the old days."

But after last week, I'm convinced…it's even better now.

Logging in to take a look at some talks on the online platform for , even though I'm done with the conference now, I just noticed that the attendee dashboard has a section for "sponsor badge scans", giving transparency over which sponsors got my contact details. That is a *really* nice touch, thank you @ThePSF .
