🇧🇪🇩🇪🇮🇹 All booked for Brussels, Berlin and Bologna!
Anyone else off to @fosdem, @FOSSBackstage or @pycon Italia?
(Also going to skip PyCon US this year, already decided before the latest.)
I gave a lightning talk at a bunch of conferences in 2025 about some of the exciting new things coming in Python 3.14, including template strings.
One thing we can use t-strings for is to prevent SQL injection. I illustrated this with xkcd 327 aka “Little Bobby Tables”.
I localised most of the slides for the PyCon I was at, including this comic. Here they are!

If you too are a “professional procrastinator”, don’t worry, this is your lucky exception 😉
The CFP for PyCon is still open…
just not the one in Long Beach 🏖️
Jokes apart, you can present your talk in Bologna at PyCon Italia 2026: English talks, 1k+ attendees, late spring weather, great food, and a historic city 🇮🇹

Yesterday the first acceptance emails for PyCon Italia 2026 were sent out. 📩
Huge congratulations to all the speakers who got in. I know how much work and courage it takes to submit a proposal. 🎉
And a big thank you to everyone who sent a talk and to the community who took the time to vote. That energy is what makes this conference real. 🙏
See you in Bologna at the end of May 😎

I also had a talk in the CFP, and one made it through the community vote, so I’ll be joining the speaker lineup. 🎤
I wonder who else around here is coming as a speaker this year. 🕵️
