It was just a few days ago that I was spontaneously praising @kevin for his work transforming Bloomberg's culture with respect to open source. You could do much worse than hiring him.

In case you haven't heard, Red Hat is laying off people today, and I'm one of them. My 'career' as a Hatter lasted just over 15 months, much less time than I had planned or expected.
Many of you know me well, and know that I have extensive background in open source software, project management, open source business, and lots of related activities. If you're aware of any opportunities which may be of interest, feel free to send them my way via any channel you like.
Boosts much appreciated, of course, and thanks in advance!

László's bottom line: Adopt `cibuildwheel`.
Did you know that you can just tag your wheel manylinux without actually making it manylinux compliant?
@gpshead I guess not by that metric 😅
"All of these examples are actual wheels on PyPI; in order to protect the innocent, I've removed the names."
Wow, numpy's wheel contains 964 files.
Also apparently they ship their tests in their wheels (boooo).
Time for the Wheelhouse of Horrors with László Kiss-Kollar.

Handing out raspberry pi based devices that use MQTT to play multi-player snake and display the results to the room live. 😯
Next level live demoing.
Turning on and off the lights and changing their colors with Python, apparently using the same pub sub protocol that FB messenger uses.
