Bloomberg has a great approach to open source, and a lot of companies would do well to emulate them.
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/

PyGotham is hosting two CFP feedback sessions this month. If you're looking for some help completing your talk or short film proposal, see our post at https://2023.pygotham.tv/2023/04/14/cfp-help-sessions/, and reach out to our program committee to sign up.
It occurred to me that my e-mail address might not be easily available, so I've added it to my website: https://ganssle.io/contact/
I haven’t had a chance to set up a calendly link or anything, but if anyone is interested in meeting up with me during #PyConUs, shoot me an email ...
If you haven't already left for #PyCon, might I suggest bringing some heavy duty hand lotion?
After 10 minutes here I felt like I should change into a stillsuit and start walking without rhythm to avoid attracting sandworms.

Paper doesn't run out of batteries, is easy to scribble on, and stuff into a pocket! 📃📄📝
I made some custom CSS and JavaScript to make it nicely printable:

On my way to #PyConUS!
I'll probably be running around like a headless chicken all week, but if you want to talk to me please feel free to stop me! I like taking, in particular about:
- @ThePSF and all it does, as well as how the Board works and whether you should be on it (probably yes!)
- The #Python Steering Council and all the language decisions we're making, and also whether your should be on it (probably yes!)
- #Cats, like my little boi Akio and his "big" sister Demi...

Just in time for #PyConUS, here have an attrs 23.1.0: https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/releases/tag/23.1.0 #python
If you're an #attrs user and are coming to SLC, come and say hi!
Please don't use e-mail as a primary key or a username or whatever it is that is causing this requirement (or any of the other similar problems like "You can't change your e-mail")
Well, this is an annoying requirement, particularly for those of us who use one-off e-mails per service.
Since I used different e-mail addresses to register for PyCon US 2022 and 2023, I can't just point the PyCon US 2023 website at my existing Sharemyhealth account.

Tips for your first #PyConUS, especially if you're going in person AND this is not your first time going to any kind of industry convention.
#PyCon is special in a few ways: Spanish talks! Transparency report! Domain experts in the expo hall! And more.

Please feel free to boost, share elsewhere, etc.
And welcome! We're glad you're joining us.
Man, I'm leaving for #PyConUS2023 is in *5 days* and I haven't even gone over the schedule yet. This feels like the least prepared I've ever been for a PyCon.

We're concerned that language in the proposed European Cyber Resilience Act may cause problems for public open source repositories like the ones we host. Please read and share: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-eus-proposed-cra-law-may-have.html
