PyCon APAC in Yogyakarta, Indonesia starts today!
Lots of great talks on the schedule.
No problem if you can't be here in person.
Online ticket is available and costs like $10 USD. (Yes only one zero, not a typo)

I'd love it if more folks could join us online and support the community.

Meet Niharika Vadluri!

Graduating during COVID from a women’s university, Niharika faced challenges in finding her dream job, but #Python and its open source community got her going.

Less than 10 days before @pyladiescon CFP closes (Sept 15)

If you're not sure about what kind of talks you can give, watch this video, featuring awesome PyLadies members @t_redactyl, Anna Makarudze, @cheukting_ho, Maria Jose Molina, @whykay, and myself

Pro tip: Conference organizers love it when you submit your talk proposal weeks before the CFP closes (instead of on the day of).

So, let's make conference organizers near you happy by submitting your talk proposal early.

#PyCascades and #PyLadiesCon both have CFPs closing in about 2 weeks from now!

These threads on discuss.python.org show how weird the #Python community - in particular its US-centric organization in terms of the @ThePSF became lately:

https://discuss.python.org/t/why-im-leaving-discuss-python-org/58093/59

https://discuss.python.org/t/inclusive-communications-expectations-in-python-spaces/57950/31

https://discuss.python.org/t/im-leaving-too/58408/11

The amount of absurd discussions, the ridiculously overrated wokeness, and the hyper-moral of some people is hardly acceptable.

The #ThePSF has overshot a few times in the last years. Well, nobody has to be a member of #PSF when using Python.

Sneak peek into our 5th episode of #HiddenFiguresofPython!

Meet Mona Obedoza!

Learn about Mona’s journey. She started learning to code at the age of 5, making video games using Scratch and Python. Even though Mona is still in high school, she is already a frequent public speaker at Python and tech conferences, and is inspiring other kids to code.

Hosts: @georgically & @terezaif

I'm glad to see this coming from the Python Steering Council

Like it or not, OS maintainers and core devs are seen as leaders of the project and the community, and should be held at a higher standard of behavior.

it's fact that @ThePSF has sent out voting links to former members that are no longer eligble for voting. So is the current voting still valid #python #thepsf

Executed my privilege as a PSF Fellow to vote in PSF Board of Directors election
Voted Yes to all 3 proposed bylaw changes
Good luck to all candidates!
Vote if you have not already done so.

Yesterday I learned that the American Plastic Surgery Foundation has Distinguished Service Awards, and I'm still not sure why Google think's that's the "PSF Distinguished Service Award" page I'm looking for when I serach for that. #Python #ThePSF @ThePSF
