Next Wednesday (March 4th) there is a free online Python conference!
You can sign up here if you want to attend: https://lp.jetbrains.com/python-unplugged/
Each talk will be about 25 minutes with 5 minutes of questions. The agenda looks really really cool 🤩
I'm particularly looking forward to @pauleveritt's talk "Open Source in the Age of Coding Agents" and Travos Oliphant's talk "Community > Code: People Are What Make Python Thrive, and Why That Will Continue in an AI-Enabled Era".
These both feel really topical for the challenges open source maintainers are facing atm 👀 so hoping for inspiration maintaining Django 🤞
@sarahboyce Thanks buddy! My talk has morphed into a group chat with @willingc and Georgi on this topic.
I want to do a lot of listening this year, find out what the Python community thinks on this topic: “was" (how did we get here), "is” (what exactly here means), and "will be" (what are we going to do about it.)
I'm also a speaker!
My talk is "Django Has a Marketing Problem: Debunking the Myths That Won't Die"
If that interests you, please attend! I'd love to have a discussion about the talk and feedback is also really welcome 💜
