The Official Python Documentary has published their teaser trailer at PyCon US 2025, and I'm so honored to be part of the story of Python along with other prominent Python figures. Check the trailer, and watch the official launch of the documentary at EuroPython later this year. #PyConUS #Python #EuroPython

#PierogiCon The Afternoon session. We got potatoes in the curry, steamed dumplings, noodle soups, cream cheese... Yeah we have everything needed for a PierogiCon. Thanks folks for joining us! With @Jeff Triplett @Jack Linke 🦄 @Chris Adams @Dan (he/him) :twit: @Jeff Forcier Rami and George(?) @PierogiCon #PyConUS

I'm so happy to see PyCon US moved away from paper sign up boards for open spaces and lightning talks signups and into digital format (and not in the form of spreadsheets). This is such a great improvement for user experience, and so much better for accessibility! Thank you! 👏 #PyConUS

PyLadiesCon now has our own open source conference management tool at

⚠️ Pro tips for any Summit presenters at PyCon US 2025: (hatchery, language, maintainer, community organizers, etc) 1. Light mode for your slides 2. Use big fonts 3. Share presentation link to your audience so they can follow along in case your slides are not readable We're at the Python Language summit and we just made a presenter change their slides from dark mode into light mode, and also Guido had to move his seat to be right in front of the projector in order to read the slides. #PyConUS

Just wanted to show off this present from my son 🥰🌸 (sorry don't know how to describe this item properly 😥)

Was asked "why are you asking for money to develop something that's gonna be open source anyway" Um...

There's a service called "certifier" which is basically sending certificates as a service and it's like $110 a month. 😶‍🌫️ I wrote a Python script to do the same thing for PyLadiesCon for free. I should take some kind of entrepreneur bootcamp to learn how to charge people for things, however, if you need to issue attendance certificates for your event for free, read my blog:

Folks don't understand how open source contributions work. If you want a feature, you don't come and say "make me this feature". Instead, you open a PR and ask for it to get merged. Folks don't understand how community conferences work. If you want something to happen in the conference, you don't come and say "make this happen for me". Instead, you say "I want to volunteer and do this for your conference". #opensource #community #conference

I've been using 1password for maybe 7-8 years and I know a lot of friends in tech are also using it (or similar technologies). I'm wondering though, how widely used is it outside of tech communities? I'm wondering about entities like small local businesses, accountants, clinics, school teachers, how do they manage their passwords and login credentials? Do they write passwords in sticky post-it paper? Maybe I don't wanna know the answer? 😅
