“Build Abuse Observability From Day 1”

expect abuse. You don’t have to be popular if you have these, then expect abuse will come.

AI is going to amplify this like the number of resumes it can apply for.

I want to thank everyone who donated. In the end we raised over $15,300 from over 280 Donations at #PyConUS!

This will contribute to building communities, giving Pythonistas a chance to lead initiatives and support a lot of conferences who want to see a more diverse Python community.

It has come to my attention that some folks don't understand why we use the words "Colored" or "Coloured" for some of our community members. It's very important.

Our plans have been so well supported by this partnership and so far it’s been pivotal in our growth and future plans!

I also love their approach to letting us cook and how they are already learning from us. https://floss.social/@gnome/112480847710129801

I’ve avoided directly being on a conference organizing committee because of this “trope” happy to hear this along with @brainwane sentiment that “you are allowed to quit things”.

I may reconsider my involvement in organizing https://mastodon.social/@jonafato/112475938443265184

To clarify we try to make sure our teams are diverse by gender and geography.

This prevents a monoculture of thought and reduces the “I had no idea this would a make a particular group feel unwelcome” https://fosstodon.org/@nicksspirit/112479546737456440

We’re hoping to launch a Documentation Team to help us write better policy and documentation around what we're doing.

We need mentors!

If you're a documentation expert or help maintain policy docs for a tech organization and want to help @blackpythondevs let us know!!

@blackpythondevs folks should learn more from Jon! A great way to avoid it feeling like a trap is to have support of other organizers. You can find that at https://conferencechats.org https://mastodon.social/@jonafato/112475938443265184

OH: “The Python Cinematic Universe (PCU)”

I believed @hynek inspired my next talk - No Role Modelz

More-Code - implementing RBAC into your FastAPI/Django/Flask Application.

Less-Code - how to build leaders in meetups, conferences, and online communities.

Both will be guided by the lyrics of J.Coles Hit song of the same name.

Which would you rather hear me speak about?

I think I just heard @Yhg1s suggest that we could avoid Py4K by swapping to Calver 👀👀👀 #PyConUS

Excited to hear @blackpythondevs Vice-Chair @veldakiara is now the Python Steering Council Secretary!!

So so proud of you!!

Okay as we jump into our final days of PyCon. I want to share we raised $11,000 in the first two days for @blackpythondevs

This is amazing and will rapidly fast-forward our plans including starting an open source contribution program and establishing our first local groups (while supporting some others)

Our stretch goal is $15,000!!

We're about $3,250 away. There are still about 2200 people at #pyconUS that haven't donated and $2-5 each would obliterate that goal!!

Okay y'all showed out!!

Yesterday I ask about 3000 folks at #pyconUS (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.
