Would love to see some of the talks. What is Pycon's policy on releasing talks to Youtube?
All talks are put on YouTube (unless the speaker specifically opted out of recording), but it usually takes 2-3 months for them to be put up.

#12These seem like great posts to reflect on a conference experience. It has me thinking I should do something like this… Also incredible how many people you know in the Python (and larger!) community. Thanks for posting.
Thank you. I try to write these for major conferences that I attend. It is a good way to absorb what I learned and remember what I did. I see myself building on these experiences over time.

#13This does not mention PyCon US 2024 was one of the extremely, extremely few conferences which did the right thing and had a mask mandate. > We are nice people and 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. PyCon US is exceptional in that we have people attending from all over the world—last…
To each their own but I'm pretty glad masks are on their way out. I wore one when I had to during the pandemic and I'm quite happy that I didn't have to wear one to any of the conferences I've been to since the pandemic ended.

#14Awesome recap! Thank you
Thank you for reading and commenting!

#15I'm amazed at how many people she met. It was my first PyCon and I was happy with trying to chat with like 5 people. The conference was huge and very physically and socially exhausting.
Same. I love the idea of being involved in the software community, but find it intimidatingly difficult to know how to "break in". Plenty of the names dropped here are people I admire and follow on social media, but I would think myself terribly rude to introduce myself to them as I'm just an irrelevant developer.

Thanks for excluding me from the conferences you attend.
I am astounded that four years in we still need to explain that a) masks are effective in stopping community transmission b) masks worn by the source are more effective or, in other words, your mask protects me while my mask protects you. How is this new?
No, your stance is absolutely selfish -- not uncommon of course, but it is selfish.

If you are immuno-compromised or living with someone who is, shouldn't you not be travelling thousands of miles to a large, packed conference anyway? Since masks are not 100% effective.
To each their own, but I personally will not be attending PyCon next year because it was exhausting to wear a mask for 5 days straight.

I guess you have to find a balance between being able to have a “normal” event where people can meet each other without special medical precautions and accommodating immuno-compromised and health-anxious people. I’m really glad there’s a sense of normalcy after the pandemic again and I would not be willing to wear a mask to all such events all the time, I don’t mind wearing one to accommodate people in smaller groups or when having closer contact though.
