I just got click-baited by @elthenerd to volunteer as a Charlas session chair. Gonna practice speaking Spanish!
So happy to see my friends reporting that they got PRs merged to CPython today at the sprint. Congratulations!!
Thanks to the core devs onsite who were helping the new contributors land their PRs.
My own sprint was more in the form of Self-care and human-ing than PRs. I went back to the urgent care clinic, got an injection for my chronic pain so now I don't have to tough it out anymore.

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.
