Okay y'all showed out!!

Yesterday I ask about 3000 folks at (In-person and virtual) along with folks on social media. 200 of y'all rose to the occasion and donated making us smash our hopeful goal for the first day of the event.

That funding will continue to support our initiatives - https://blackpythondevs.com/initiatives/.

That goal always day one and y'all did it! Day two we're continuing the push.

Let's we add $4000 as our goal today to help support Black Python Devs.

@christophwarner @irene Hey letโ€™s take some time and chat about it.

There is a plan that has a beginning middle and end.

GNOME gives us a lot of support while we learn more about what is needed to build a sustainable non profit.

Action without structure breeds chaos. We have a lot of action and theyโ€™re going to help us with structure.

Anyone bring their family with them my wife and 5yo will be stuck in the hotel all bored if thereโ€™s no one else to hang with?

Also Iโ€™m only hoping for family friendly dinners so they can enjoy Pittsburgh as well.

Once they turn to bed I will go back out and do the Con Thing.

You know that Parks and Rec episode where thereโ€™s an Easter egg hunt and the kids canโ€™t find any eggs, because there arenโ€™t any.
For this year, is the park, and Iโ€™m one of the eggs.
Enjoy PyCon and talk with lots of people, but donโ€™t look for me. :)

@agmcleod I have a steam deck. I havenโ€™t tried Rustyโ€™s on it because of the 1/3 screen resolution if I can set it to fullscreen, then that could be a solution.
