The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁
Let's not squander it!
A *sold out* #PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.
Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.
Who will it be? 👀
Omg 🎶 Solidarity Forever 🎶 from the stage at #PyConUS!!!
On that note: more tech unions, please and thank you!
Here is a blog post with links and references to accompany my closing keynote today at #PyConUS , on stories from a few years working on #Python packaging.

Links and References For My PyCon US Keynote
Today I’m giving the closing keynote address at PyCon US 2024, sharing “Untold stories from six years working on Python packaging.”I aim to post a fuller transcript with slides within the next several weeks.Cogito, Ergo Sumana
What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because #CovidIsNotOver? In the case of #PyConUS, the conference sells out.
Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.
Well done @pycon fosstodon.org/@pycon/112445571…

⚠️ UPDATE⚠️ : #PyConUS 2024 is SOLD OUT. We had an unexpected spike in registrations just before opening the event today, and we've had to close sales of new conference passes.Fosstodon

You know a conference cares about its marginalized attendees when a random short elevator ride includes not one, but two stenographers. Was too shy to say hello, but if y'all see this, you are APPRECIATED. #PyConUS
ETA: the stenographers were /using/ the elevator, they were not /doing stenography/ at the time 🤣
In 2019 I co-ran a #PyCon Hatchery event, The Art of Python, harihareswara.net/texts/on-the… , featuring several monologues, plays, & other performances about the experiences of making technology.
It went great. It was going to run again in 2020, but COVID derailed that.
pycon.blogspot.com/2024/01/pyc… This year, #PyConUS #PyCon2024 #PyConUS2024 is requesting your Hatchery event proposals!
I'd love:
another performance night (HOWTO guide: harihareswara.net/texts/on-the… )
