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 ...
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...
