Many people probably write off sponsored talks as glorified ads, but I suspect this talk about Open Source at Bloomberg is going to be quite good: https://us.pycon.org/2023/schedule/presentation/132/
OoOo, an announcement! Bloomberg is going to be sponsoring a Deputy Developer in Residence!
I gather that the culture at Bloomberg changed a lot with respect to open source and other third party products not that long before I joined in 2015. I would be very interested to hear a history (formal or informal) of what motivated the change and how it was accomplished. I suspect @kevin would be a good source for an oral history...
@pganssle So, masks aren’t being enforced in the audience? 😬
@mpirnat Not sure about enforcement. I guess mask compliance is not 100% but it's very high from what I can tell.
I suspect that the conference staff will be enforcing mask compliance when they know about people not wearing masks.
@pganssle /me blushes
Certainly I would be a good source for such a thing, it's what they hired me to do 🙂
Bloomberg has a great approach to open source, and a lot of companies would do well to emulate them.
