All the talks at PyCascades from yesterday were great. I missed a couple talks because I was doing final rehearsal for my own talk, but I'm planning to watch them later.
Sadly I can't join in person today, but I know the talk lineup is just as great as yesterday's.

I'm awake, and at the airport for the 5 AM flight to Washington D.C.
I'm headed to GW OSCON, which I just learned, was also the site for the first ever PyCon back in 2003! 🀩

If you're going to PyConUS and planning out your talk schedule, I scraped the website talks and saved the title, times, room, speaker, and description into a CSV. You can find it in this Github gist (https://gist.github.com/ptmcg/d851232d6b90812e1c01c990ecec516c), which uses littletable and rich packages to provide a simple REPL to search the talks by keyword, title, and speaker. #pycon #pyconus #python #littletable
I will be speaking at #Pycon Austria in April. And I would love to go by #train . I really do. But the whole ride to Eisenstadt is 15+ hours. Also, the NS International has nothing on their site for this route. The flight by plane (to Wien)? 1 hr 40 min. Plus going to and from the airport, security. Going by air still wins by a big margin.

It is the ten year anniversary of my PyConUS 2016 keynote. I had hoped to attend this year to visit old friends and make new ones.

With no corporate sponsor, the cost in money, time, and effort is too much. My cancer treatment will not end until July. While my daily chemo drugs are self administered, they are considered hazardous. The rules tell me that they must be under lock and key while traveling.

No matter how I fiddle numbers, the logistics just don't work out.

Maybe 2027 will be my year.

I also had a talk in the CFP, and one made it through the community vote, so I’ll be joining the speaker lineup. 🎀

I wonder who else around here is coming as a speaker this year. πŸ•΅οΈ

Yesterday the first acceptance emails for PyCon Italia 2026 were sent out. πŸ“©

Huge congratulations to all the speakers who got in. I know how much work and courage it takes to submit a proposal. πŸŽ‰

And a big thank you to everyone who sent a talk and to the community who took the time to vote. That energy is what makes this conference real. πŸ™

See you in Bologna at the end of May 😎
