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`?

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.

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?

#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."

Man, some folks do such a good job with the design of their slides, it makes me want to do better.
