A thoroughly well-deserved Community Service Award given to @daisy for service during an exceptionally long tenure at the helm of @pyconau, presented at #PyConUS.
It's an absolute travesty that she is unable to accept it here in person. I hope this country can start doing better by trans people again in the future.
It's quite something to see a journalist who cut their teeth in Lawrence pre-Django talking about eventually learning to code, and then building out journalism tooling in Django. It's amazing seeing how much good has come out of one reasonably small newspaper. #PyConUS
Just want to call out how effective this panel is as a way to construct a talk on a complex subject. This is still a prepared presentation -- look at the slides matching the discussion topics -- but using a community member as a host to "guide" the discussion, bridging us to "outsiders" with an important story. It looks like a panel, but it isn't that.
As someone who appreciates the craft of presentation, this is A++. Thanks @Jackiekazil et al! #PyConUS
... GIL-free options for Python *and* a colourful REPL?
Python 3.14 may just be most important release in a year!
Panels can so often be a lazy way to get people on stage, and those sorts of panels are pretty obvious. This is the opposite of that: it's a deliberate choice, and it's effective because of that choice. Great presentations can take many forms (just as prepared talks can be as bad as badly-planned panels).
Too much good material in this Marshall Project keynote. I got a chance to chat with them on Friday (and plugged @civicband, I'm sure you'll hear about them, @phildini), but I'll still be going back to this talk after the conference. Thank you, @pycon! #PyConUS
"FAEG" - @elthenerd #PyConUS (hi @MissSteno!)
He may not be in a banana suit, but Pablo has... rabbit ears? That'll do, I guess. #PyConUS
(Oh, it's apparently @hynek's fault. That explains it.)
