Attention #PyOhio Community!
We've recently been informed that you may have received an email about a PyOhio hotel block. Unfortunately, this appears to be a scam.

PyOhio 2026 is not offering a hotel block this year. If we did, we would direct you to our own website, and the email would come from us directly. The email from "Elite Booking Service" is not associated with PyOhio. Please take the utmost care with links in emails.

We still look forward to seeing you in July!

#Python #Conference

If you want to start contributing to your community, pick up a chair.

@jonafato 's blog post and recent toots inspired me to write about this as well.

If you don’t know what to do, pick up a chair

Carrying and stacking chairs is the smallest step you can take to start contributing to a community β€” both literally and metaphorically.

#Conference

I'm trying to compile some information about conference t-shirts. If you have a shirt from a conference and know the make and model (e.g. Next Level Apparel 3600), I'd like to add it to a spreadsheet. My goal here is to have a reference for "I have a shirt from <conference> in my closet that I like, can I also order those for my own event?".

πŸŽ‰ We're thrilled to announce that REVSYS has joined Black Python Devs as a Corporate Sponsor.

Their support will help us continue growing our community and creating opportunities for Black Python developers around the world.

A special thank you to @frank for helping make this partnership happen and for getting everything finalized so quickly. πŸ’œ

I've been asked a few times to share what I know about running a successful sprint at a PyCon (or similar event), so I've written down what I know: https://cecinestpasun.com/entries/how-to-succeed-at-sprinting/
