Does anyone know of a site that has historical pollen index data (just needs to cover the last few weeks)? I am trying to figure out what precisely my son may be to.
Seems to me like all the pollen sites are like weather sites, where they only enter give the current values and forecasts.
@quentinpradet I don't *want* to fly to Spain every month to buy a case of yogurts, but I don't see that I have any other options.
This is going to turn me into one of those airline miles people who gets on random flights to Singapore for the points, except I'm going to have to set up an alert for any time plane tickets to anywhere in Spain drop below $100 so I can show up for 3 hours to buy yogurt and then fly right back.
@adamchainz Getting slightly closer to the states...
This July, my alma mater, Univ of Illinois, is hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering
The workshop focuses on helping early-career researchers (e.g, grad students, post-docs) level up from capable programmers to rock stars of accessible, open science
Best of all it's being organized by the brilliant Madicken Munk!
Oh, did I mention... it's free!
Application deadline is June 6th. Spread the word!

Since it came up several times at #pyconus, I thought I'd post here. The method I've been using to learn Spanish (and liking quite a bit), is Comprehensible Input.
A good starting point for finding information about CI, and finding materials in your target language is [Compehensible Input Wiki](https://comprehensibleinputwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page)
For Spanish, I started with [Dreaming Spanish](https://www.dreamingspanish.com)
Did you notice? We have almost 5.000 followers!
Now we're wondering: might we find among you (or your network) two experienced UX/UI designers who are willing to engage in a 6-month volunteer project? We need to come up with a way to fit a bunch of new functionality into the already busy player screen. We're looking for two people (one for each role) to help us with this.
Interested? More info? Send a DM or email keunes@mailbox.org.
Boosts appreciated!

Anyone know how I can get Github Actions to let me overwrite `/usr/share/zoneinfo`?
Mac OS runners install some `rearguard` bullshit: https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/actions/runs/9162760198/job/25190408177?pr=1130
Here is a blog post with links and references to accompany my closing keynote today at #PyConUS , on stories from a few years working on #Python packaging.

@bernat Thanks for the tips!
@bernat I think it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GQCBBsuNU
Sumana played it in her PyCon US keynote.
@tacaswell @hugovk @tintvrtkovic The plan is that the release in 2100 will be 3.100.0
During @brainwane's keynote, the transcriber typing "What is packaging??????" with a ton of question marks is relatable. More PyCon vibes. #PyConUS
A lot of very compelling stories coming out of the BeautifulSoup Open Space. BS has helped get dog racing banned in Florida, and facilitated access to and use of scientific data, among many other things. #beautifulsoup #pyconus
Here are my slides from the Language Summit:
Should Python adopt CalVer?
