I had a nightmare that #northbaypython had sold out the venue and I had forgotten to buy my ticket to north bay python 🤦🏻‍♀️ so of course I had to immediately wake up and check and I had indeed forgotten to buy my tickets. However, tickets were still available so I bought my ticket 🎟️ and I will definitely be there!

After telling you all to sign up for PyCon US activities before they sell out I, Mariatta, PyCon US 2024 conference chair, also forgot to sign up for PyLadies Luncheon and now they're sold out 😭😭😭😭

> Next time you want to ask "When's the next release?", instead look at the project and see where you can start getting involved. The more help maintainers have, the more they can get done.

Absolutely on the nail @davidism ❤️

Slightly odd question, but would people find it interesting/helpful if I logged what open source I did on 👪 time (i.e. excluding 💵 time)?

I could use https://obsidian.md/publish and just journal what I did that way without a ton of extra effort. The only benefit I could see to me is if I set up e.g. GitHub Sponsors or something to point out work I do in my personal time. But maybe this is the sort of thing to help others to point out the free labour force of open source to people?

One thing I’m missing after Twitter’s collapse as a community hub is conference FOMO. Yes, rn is not a great time to gloat about the amazing time you’re having, but it’s been like that all year.

I went to my first PyCon after seeing ppl posting photos and live-tweeting talks all day & I couldn’t take it anymore. We used to mute hashtags!

Now all buzz is siloed away to (usually) Discord & I only notice they happened b/c the reminders of ticket sales stop.

This can’t be good long-term.

I am devastated by the news that Naomi Wu aka SexyCyborg has been silenced by the Chinese authorities.

She represents so many things that the world desperately needs: competence, confidence, ability to communicate, ability to cross cultures and languages, shattering of old stereotypes, a positive view of the future, and much more.

The repressive old guard should put itself away instead. In China and here because similar people are coming for the Naomis here, too.

I am horrified by how many website accessibility code linters and html checkers are locked behind $50 per user per month paywalls with tag lines like "use this tool and avoid the lawsuit". How about just wanting to build a website or app that all people can use? Can anyone recommend some open source accessibility tools?

I will be speaking at 3:15 in 355DEF, on "How To Keep A Secret".

Let's just keep that between us, shall we?

(I'll post the YouTube link later when it's available.)
