Paolo Melchiorre @ PyCon US (50)
This afternoon, before the Expo Hall closed, we took a big group photo together at the Django and Djangonaut Space booth 📸✨
Django Fellows, Steering Council representatives, DSF members, volunteers, contributors, and community participants all joined together.
Guido van Rossum also stopped by and shared kind words about Djangonaut Space and the constant work the Django community brings into the wider Python ecosystem 🙂
This evening REVSYS hosted the PyCon US after party here in Long Beach 🎉
Thanks to @frank and @webology for creating another opportunity to meet people, continue conversations after the conference closing, exchange ideas, and simply spend time together with the community ✨

After 20 hours of traveling, I finally arrived at the hotel in Long Beach for the conference 🌍
Already met a few friends, took some selfies, and had a first quick look around the city.
So far, Long Beach looks really beautiful ☀️

My last evening in Long Beach ended surrounded by many people from the community ✨
A final moment to relax after the conference, but also another chance to keep chatting, exchange thoughts, and spend a little more time together with many of the people I met here during PyCon US 2026 🙂

Just arrived back home after a long and tiring trip ✈️
But it was absolutely worth it. PyCon US 2026 was an intense week full of talks, keynotes, hallway track conversations, and so many encounters with people from the community.
As always, the best part of conferences for me is the people and the chance to create more connections around open source and Python.
Thanks everyone 💚
Hope to see some of you at PyCon Italia 🙂
On my way to Los Angeles from Rome ✈️
See you all there in only 12 hours 👋

This afternoon was the opening reception of PyCon US ✨
The expo hall finally opened and the whole conference slowly came together in one place after the tutorials and sponsor talks.
A lot of people already here for the first days of the conference gathered to chat, meet again, and explore the booths.
After my talk this morning, I spent most of the afternoon in the hallway track talking with many people from the community 🙂
A lot of conversations started directly from the topics discussed during the session.
It was really nice to see so many new contributors approaching @django with the guidance of Django Fellows Natalia and Jacob, together with @CodenameTim , @Rachell from @djangonaut , and many other experienced community members ✨
I only had a short time before leaving, but I was happy to say hello, thank everyone working on the Django sprint, and greet a few more friends from the Python community 📸

I just attended the “PSF - Update from our Security Engineers” session at @pycon 2026 🔐
@miketheman and @sethmlarson were both excellent presenters: funny, clear, and very informative at the same time.
It was great to hear more about the huge amount of work happening behind the scenes to improve the security of Python, @pypi and the @ThePSF infrastructure ✨
