⚠️ Pro tips for any Summit presenters at PyCon US 2025: (hatchery, language, maintainer, community organizers, etc)
1. Light mode for your slides
2. Use big fonts
3. Share presentation link to your audience so they can follow along in case your slides are not readable
We're at the Python Language summit and we just made a presenter change their slides from dark mode into light mode, and also Guido had to move his seat to be right in front of the projector in order to read the slides.
I'm facilitating an Open Space at #PyConUS:
Beautiful Soup: Ask Me Anything
Sun. May 18th; 2-3pm
An open questions session with @leonardr, the maintainer of screen-scraping library #BeautifulSoup. If you've ever used or tried to use it, share your questions, confusions, stuff you've made, concerns, ideas, offers of help, etc. with Leonard in person. If we don't have a ton of questions, we might do some impromptu usability testing to check whether the new type hints help you use the library.
Conferencing Pro Tips: personalize/label your laptop charger with stickers unique to you.

✅ Presentation done at Python Language Summit
I shared updates and news from Python docs Editorial board and beyond. A big focus of discussions today is about official Python docs translations into various languages, how we can help and support translation.

Learnt a ton from @crazy4pi314 in their "Snakes in a Grid" tutorial at #PyconUS about how we can use Python to work with Excel spreadsheets:
* Use pandas read_excel() to turn an XLSX into a dataframe, and to_excel() to turn a dataframe to an XLSX

* Use openpyxl to create a spreadsheet from scratch, complete with working formulas and charts!
