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?
https://hugovk.github.io/python-calver/
#PyConUS #PyCon #Python #CalVer #CalendarVersioning #LanguageSummit
Another theme: Automating manual processes. BeautifulSoup has helped save much toil over the past 20 years! #pyconus
Theme so far of the #pyconus #beautifulsoup open space: Beautiful Soup has made it easy to preserve inaccessible archives.

Anyone lose a dark blue folio with very well written notes in Room 321 at #PyConUS? I dropped it off at the registration desk so stop by there if you see this.
Please boost for spread!

Like I just said on stage at #PyConUS , the @pytexas virtual meetup happens every month, first Tuesday of the month, at 8pm central. The meetup happens on Discord, so you can invite some Texas into wherever you are!
Our CFP is always open, so if you want to speak, go sign up. If you want help building your talk, we can help! Talk to me, I got you!

"But other parsers know too much about HTML. They choke on or try to rewrite bad markup. They assume you care about the whole document. A pirate might make you walk the plank, but only a parser would make you walk the whole tree."
Happy 20th birthday to the #Python screen-scraping library Beautiful Soup by @leonardr .
Man, some folks do such a good job with the design of their slides, it makes me want to do better.
Picture is from [Steph Orella Bello](https://sporella.xyz)'s talk, but there are many other intimidatingly good presentations out there.

Juggling starts a little early today: 3:45 in the open space hallway! #PyConUS
Luckily my target audience — parents of 2-6 year olds — is used to getting up early 😅
"Hm... maybe if I wear a fake mustache and a hat, I can sign up for two lightning talks in a row, and then I don't have to cut this one down quite so brutally...."
Some motivation for you to get up and to the #pyconus venue early tomorrow morning: I'll be giving a lightning talk about my (FOSS) chord trainer application (for children).
