Hey friiends! 👋

If we haven't met at and you'd like to meet, please message me and we'll find a time and place to meet.

I'll be doing a lot of hallway track-ing today and I'd love to meet you before you leave!

I also still have lots of Python Morsels stickers, if you're interested in stickers but not in meeting. 😅

@leahawasser@fosstodon.org avatar

@treyhunner very cool. sure let's chat! we are doing trainings and such via @pyOpenSci and love to link to other great resources around the community! i'm around all day via the hallway track (aside from our open space this am and sumana's keynote!)

Today - 10am. learn more about @pyOpenSci , tell us more about what your#python painpoints are so we can think about how we can help! If you are a scientist, or an open source enthusiast, we'd love to talk to you.

or just come, hang out and grab some stickers. see you there!

my coding & development skills have grown SO MUCH since i became a maintainer of stravalib. But what i've never experienced is meeting someone in real life who uses it! after my talk yesterday someone came up to me that had used stravalib to collect club information & create "challenge summaries" for an event for people in their work!

it was SO rewarding & unexpected to be thanked for working on the stravalib! i can't wait to share this with our maintainer team!

we had a lovely group of @pyOpenSci community members in the packaging summit. I'm hopeful that things change int he packaging ecosystem moving forward and that we can empower more pythonistas with early wins whether it's with installing and setting up or managing environments or creating a package!

@leahawasser@fosstodon.org avatar

hey everyone - if you want to learn more about pyOpenSci, discuss packaging and python pain points and , please join us tomorrow in Room 309 @10AM for an open space. Come for the stickers, for the discussion or just to learn more. We look forward to seeing you there!

Can't make it tomorrow? no problem - we will also be holding a sprint all day monday!!

@leahawasser awesome talk. Python packaging is currently definitely more complex than it needs to be

I love what @leahawasser is doing with the pyOpenSci open peer review of packages https://www.pyopensci.org/about-peer-review/ that results in a list of recommended packages https://www.pyopensci.org/python-packages.html

This seems like a way more effective and accessible solution to the "what libraries are appropriate to use" problem than, say, cargo-crev.

This talk was made for you, with 💜 , by our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll walk away inspired and empowered to tackle anything Python packaging throws at you. We promise.

Time zones are hard. How do y'all from Europe do it?! 🤣

leahawasser,
@leahawasser@fosstodon.org avatar

@ktoddbrown i appreciate that!! i was actually grumbling about dealing with the time zones (i felt SO tired because i woke up and it was 4am in my timezone and 6am here :) i can't imagine how people flying to a meeting from europe (or australia!!) feel!! but scheduling is also very hard!!
