Man, @psobot puts together a nice talk. Watch his lightning talk on multiprocessing if you have a chance.
Weird question, but anyone at #pyconus have a sewing kit I can use? Part of my bag is... hanging on by a thread.
(Don't go out of your way to help with this - I'm just hoping to save myself like 20 minutes by avoiding a trip to the store)
Caught up with @brianokken and @mkennedy, who for some reason weren't talking at 3x speed in person. #pycon #PyConUS2023 #pyconus
If you missed my talk but still want to see it, the video is already available for PyCon Online and in-person attendees!

@pganssle I forwarded a link to your talk to the other authors of Python in a Nutshell, got this feedback from @holdenweb on your talk: "A great presentation. I remember running into many of these issues when our software had to track international athletes across time zones and still provide meaningful statistics. Thanks for the link!"
Ahhhh, now to relax and enjoy #pycon
I'll be giving a talk on time zones at #PyConUS tomorrow (April 21st) at 14:30 MDT. If that sounds interesting to you, please join me in 355DEF or online!

Exciting news from #PyPI, just in time for @PyConUS:
"Starting today, PyPI package maintainers can adopt a new, more secure publishing method that does not require long-lived passwords or API tokens to be shared with external systems."
I've been part of the private beta and it works really well!

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...
OoOo, an announcement! Bloomberg is going to be sponsoring a Deputy Developer in Residence!
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 ...
