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. ⚓

The recording should come out in a few weeks on the PyCon US YouTube channel.
I wrote up my #PyconUS 2026 experience: https://blog.pamelafox.org/2026/05/pycon-2026-reflections.html
(you can just scroll through the pics, it got kind of long - what a week!)

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 🙂
Did you go out to lunch at #Pyconus and not take your laptop and also forget to come back after lunch? Please find a PSF staff member.
As much fun as #PyConUS has been, being off a bike that long in nice weather was a bit disorienting!
The Long Beach bikeshare is a very interesting one. All electronics are on the bike (and solar!), and there is a U-lock and integrated holster. Racks are just dumb metal and for a $2 you can lock to anything. $1 credit if you return a bike to the official rack.
First time using a Sturmey-Archer with a twist shifter but it worked well. Interestingly, it still has the dead zone between 2 and 3, I'd thought that was fixed in modern hubs? Not really a problem though.
Brake levers are inverted which was interesting but worked well. Very enjoyable ride
I’m at sprints until 3:00 or so. If you want to talk open source contribution quality, django deployment, or chess, come say hi!
I’m in the back of the main ballroom. Look for the chess pieces!
I’m spending my valuable #PyConUS time reading gems like https://wh0.github.io/2026/04/08/slack-is.html
