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!

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!

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

Here are my slides from the Language Summit:

Should Python adopt CalVer?

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!

@rhave @kyhwana I really wish there was a better name and reference for the HTML date standard. RFC3339 is good for a human readable interchange for computers, but its treatment of timezones makes it less suitable for a computer/human interchange.

ISO-8601 can die in a fire.

Today at #PyConUS we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of @leonardr's library Beautiful Soup as an Open Space!

Join us in:
Room 315
1:45-2:30pm

for the party, featuring zines and lightning talks, and say hi to Leonard!

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 .
