Three years on deck: one learning the ropes, one at the helm, one steering through the storm.
Smooth seas make ordinary sailors. This year made you a true captain.
Thank you @elthenerd for steering us. 🫡
Congratulations on chairing! Enjoy your shore leave. You've earned it. ⚓

Speaker spotlight: Felipe Moreno: "How Translations Work" - Maintainers Summit
Most OSS projects say they want to be welcoming to a global community. Far fewer have actually figured out the translation pipeline, how you avoid the "half-translated forever" problem.
Felipe is going to walk through how it actually works, in enough detail to take back to your own project.
🕥 2:10 PM, Saturday, May 16, Room 201A
📣 We're recruiting Discord moderators for the Maintainers Summit at PyCon US 2026!
Looking for a few community-minded folks to help keep conversations friendly and respectful, answer newcomer questions, and make sure everyone in the room (and online) feels welcome and included.
If you've moderated for a community before, or want to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
Sign up: https://secretcodes.dev/qr/discord-moderator-form
If anyone need to generate (and print) QR code for your sprint at pyCon uS (eg to tell people where you are, how to join discord, where your github repo is, whatever) you can use my ad-free QR code generator at https://secretcodes.dev/qrcode_generator/ No CLI, no download. Just do it on the browser.

I'm speaking at PyCon US tomorrow! Come learn why the PyLadiesCon team said "No more spreadsheets" and what we've been building instead using Python and Django.

"Is this the CPython sprint table?"
"Well you're here, so now this is the CPython sprint table."

At 11:15 on May 16, the Maintainers Summit gets into one of the conversations every OSS project is having right now: GenAI in Open Source — Tool, Threat, or Turning Point?
It's a Birds of a Feather session, so it's *your* conversation. Bring your wins, your concerns, and your hopes.
