Also saw some Cedar Waxwings in a tree right across the street from the swallow. This isn’t my first time seeing those, but they’re still reasonably rare (and not to mention pretty).
Too bad it’s such a dreary day…

I frequently notice folks asking or answering questions like "how many contributors does this open source project have?" or "how much contribution is this project getting?" https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/ is an example of why those aren't simple questions.
I'm Sumana Harihareswara, a woman in #NYC New York City. I have a consultancy https://changeset.nyc, Changeset Consulting and provide short-term project management services for #freesoftware #FLOSS #opensource projects. I'm writing a book on maintainership skills and have accidentally developed expertise in #Python packaging tools.
I'm married, a stand-up comedian & fanvidder, a frequent poster on #MetaFilter & #Dreamwidth, Indian-American. Just moved from mastodon.social!
Who needs airline status when you can get boarding priority by traveling with young children?
So relaxing…
A while back I gave this talk on how to contribute to open source: https://ganssle.io/talks/#contributing-oss-pydata2018
Video: https://youtu.be/JhPC6_rO08s
I cannot possibly be the best speaker to give some version of this talk — does anyone have a good “canonical” version of this?
I have no idea if this will work out and I may have to end up cancelling / rescheduling meetings if they become impractical, but if you want to meet me at #PyCon, I’ve set up a schedule for 15-minute 1-on-1 chats:
OK, we’ve got a tricky UX problem in datetime.isoformat and I could use typical users’ intuitive thoughts here. If you are a #python programmer, can you take this short survey? Please don’t do any research before filling it out!

Boosts appreciated!
I’ve just released “Why naïve times are local times in Python”, explaining why it makes sense that the naïve datetime object stopped being abstract and started representing system local time as part of Python 3: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2022/04/naive-local-datetimes.html
Useful take-away: dt.astimezone(None)
Nice to see more people making the case that reading the news is unnecessary and probably a net negative in your life:
As usual, I had to cut a bunch of stuff when I went way over time.
I probably should have been tipped off that my “xfail and code coverage” slides weren’t going to make the cut when I put this one together:
In 45 minutes I’ll be giving my #PyTexas talk: “xfail and skip: What to do with tests you know will fail”
The slides are here: https://pganssle-talks.github.io/pytexas-2022-xfail/

I switched over to AntennaPod a few months ago and I’ve been very happy with it. I’ve even got my first PR started!
We released AntennaPod version 2.5. Biggest improvement? Synchronisation via @nextcloud, implemented by one of our community members. Another step to regaining control over your data!
Check out the details and a list of other improvements on our blog:
