PyCon US 2026 2026

Day 6 (40)

Memories of Djangonaut Space. 🥰 🚀

What an amazing program, and it was lovely being mentioned in yesterday's PyCon US keynote by Rachell and Tim.

A complete lack of spoons keeps me away from participating in current rounds of DS and other contributions, but I wish the program all the best and hope to eventually return.

The sprints rooms are *so* loud with productive collaboration, credit to the less-than-ideal acoustics

It's heartwarming to hear but aaaaalso intensely stimulating. I may return to my hotel to grab my earplugs and/or over-ear headphones to knock that down a bit.

Having fun so far hacking on CivicBand, though :)

Everybody's just gone for lunch so now it's nearly empty. I can still hear what few conversations remain, though. Ballroom acoustics 😮‍💨

I still have some of these, and am around for sprints! Ask me for some, take them for yourself and/or kids in your life—who seem to like them far more than adults—etc. Attaching them to the black swag backpack could be a fun way to add some color. 😁

Mrrr sprints are happening, and I'm here physically

Hopefully at some point my brain will also arrive

If anyone at sprints is interested in working on gh-profiler, or sharing thoughts about the project, I'll be there around 9:30. I need to take a little walk before transitioning to sprint mode.

If you're not looking to contribute but want to share thoughts or opinions about what signals would be helpful to you when evaluating new contributions, please come find me and share what you're thinking.

I should probably spend at least some time during the sprints working on Starminder. There are a few annoying bugs and some sensible feature requests I could probably sneak in. 🤔 I expect bandwidth will disappear when Regular Life™ returns next week, so it might be now or ever… 😅 starminder.dev
