Okay, so you've seen the guides on what to do at PyCon.

But have you seen the guide for those of us that are not able to attend?

Who will be at PyCon US? 🐍

While frantically preparing for my vacation after just coming back from PyCon (don’t ask), I’ve pushed out https://github.com/hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package/releases/tag/v2.6.0 that adds support for the new ubuntu-24.04 builders and the name of the uploaded artifact as a new output. #Python

I am fairly diligent about making a list of people I meet at a conference. I had meaningful conversations with 139 people over four days at PyCon US, plus a few more people that probably didn't make it to my list in the mayhem.

Today, Facebook reminded me that I got to hang out with Python BDFL Guido van Rossum four years ago at PyCascades. That was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again sometime. Open source has been good to me. 🐍

My Uncle Edward died on Friday. A part of me never believed this day could happen, and I wished it never would. I'll say more later, but for now, he was a brilliant engineer and businessman and the best brother my mother could have ever asked for. https://www.livingstonfh.com/obituary/edward-a-markel

After years of intending to do this, I am finally getting my conference photos organized. A few of my favorite snapshots and the stories behind them: https://katherinemichel.github.io/portfolio/favorite-conference-snapshots.html

In two weeks, I'll be flying to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for PyCon US. The schedule looks incredible! I can't wait. So many things to learn, so many friends to see, so many new friends to make. 😍🐍 https://us.pycon.org/2024/schedule/

Taking a look at @AlSweigart's The Recursive Book of Recursion. Very approachable book. Really enjoying it. https://nostarch.com/recursive-book-recursion

It's not every day that you are featured in a Stanford Engineering article! I really enjoyed being interviewed about the life-changing Stanford Code in Place Python course that I took in 2020, then later helped teach. ❤️🐍 https://engineering.stanford.edu/magazine/stanford-engineering-offers-free-online-introductory-programming-course

After chatting with a PSF Staff Member a few years ago about location selection, I assumed that PyCon US would never be held in a high cost of living city. Last year, I treated myself by taking my dream Los Angeles vacation in December. I loved it, and I can't wait to go back for PyCon US!

Fantastic talk by former Django Fellow @carlton about the dangers and opportunities of open source. Great for Djangonauts... and all of us who love open source, really. https://youtu.be/YOZWF86TGmo?si=HixHbG21U6_X0iqB

I have wanted to go to @pytexas for years, and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely wonderful. ❤️

Don’t have stats, but this feels like the most diverse DjangoCon US I’ve ever been to. Particularly excited at how many Africans we have speaking and attending, starting with Abigail Mesrenyame Dogbe‘s inspiring keynote “Finding Purpose in Open Source Through Community Building.” #DjangoConUS

Sad to work all day, log off, open social media, and quickly realize that the Chiefs Parade posts are tragic, not celebratory.

During DjangoCon US 2023, I walked around downtown Durham and took some photos of the quirky artwork there. I am super excited that my photos helped inspire this year's DjangoCon US theme. It makes me smile, and I hope it makes you smile too! ❤️ https://2024.djangocon.us/

Another truly epic day at PyCon US. It ended with an amazing PyLadies Auction that raised $60,000. ❤️
