Brett Sheffield (he/him)<p>Just watched this rather awesome talk by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@glyph" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>glyph</span></a></span> at <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/NBPY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPY</span></a> </p><p>It's been a while since I wrote any <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> code, but this is as much a talk about communities, delivering on the promises we make to the people we invite into them, and recognizing new ways to adapt to our changing technology landscape.</p><p>And excavators. Worth watching.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcj0-VrJbXQ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=lcj0-VrJbX</span><span class="invisible">Q</span></a></p>

North Bay Python<p>bad news: For the first time in a while, you're going to have to wait a full year between <a href="https://social.northbaypython.org/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> events</p><p>Good news: WE'RE COMING BACK! April 25th and 26th, 2026, at our favorite ranch just south of Petaluma. See you there!</p><p><a href="https://buttondown.com/northbaypython/archive/save-the-date-for-2026/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">buttondown.com/northbaypython/</span><span class="invisible">archive/save-the-date-for-2026/</span></a></p>
phildini<p>To be clear, there are conferences I used to _organize_ that have moved mostly online and which for one reason or another I don't attend in their online form.</p><p>These are mostly conferences I was doing purely for fun, with no impact to my work.</p><p>But <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/PyCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PyCon</span></a> is both my "home" conference (although <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> continues to give a run for money), and critical to both my career and side-projects.</p>
Christopher Neugebauer<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>grimalkina</span></a></span> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> happened a bit early in the year to take advantage of this, but it's very much up our alley and I hope I can take you up on this for next year</p>
Glyph<p>It's been a few days now and I'm going to stop posting about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> soon but I do want to stress this before I do. I've mentioned that the event is pretty special, but it's hard to succinctly articulate why in a direct way. As a way of gesturing at what I mean though, consider that this is an event where the organizer can get up *after the conference is over*, say "it would help us if some of you could pay more for your tickets" and a bunch of the audience *does that*</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/@chrisjrn/114418138639298001" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">social.coop/@chrisjrn/11441813</span><span class="invisible">8639298001</span></a></p>
Christopher Neugebauer<p>My favourite past <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> survey response was from someone who said that we weren't a serious job-relevant event because of the social &amp; collaborative skills talks.</p><p>Obviously we all went harder on the social &amp; collaborative skills talks, and made absolutely sure each was put into all of the context.</p>

Amethyst 🌸<p>My talk “Or Else!

Seth Larson<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@glyph" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>glyph</span></a></span> Loved your <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nbpy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nbpy</span></a> talk! You mentioned that many libraries on PyPI aren't testing in browser so in case you hadn't seen this yet, urllib3 is being tested in Firefox and Chrome:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L113" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blo</span><span class="invisible">b/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L113</span></a></p><p>It's definitely not free and the config has been contributed by someone outside of our core team, definitely not straightforward to maintain. Would welcome this becoming much easier for Python projects to do!</p>
Christopher Neugebauer<p>And here is the video of <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.joelle.us/@joelle" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>joelle</span></a></span>'s talk – hands-down the best talk on neurodivergence in the workplace I've seen, and a highlight of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> for this year.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/5VZTdZhE94o" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/5VZTdZhE94o</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Thanks again, Joelle! It was a delight to have you!</p>
Christopher Neugebauer<p>What's on our nice-to-have list? Childcare. Financial aid. Better transport options to the ranch from Petaluma and further afield. Student outreach. </p><p>All things that have far longer lead times than when our money comes in.</p><p>I have some solutions in mind, but I wish it weren't quite so much. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a></p>
Christopher Neugebauer<p>A slide from my <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a> closing. Running a community conference for cheap is a difficult slog. Our cheaper tickets are offered as close to the margin as we can possibly afford. Unless something changes on the sponsor/donation side, this is going to be difficult to catch up.</p>
Joelle<p>Now I'm exhausted from two days of <a href="https://social.joelle.us/tags/NBPy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NBPy</span></a>! Glad I'm not trying to catch a flight back tonight (that was one of my accessibility things -- I never travel on days I do something). Glad my talk seemed to go well (and I wish I had like 2 more hours to talk about this stuff!). I will say this is a lovely conference, just my speed. :)</p>
North Bay Python<p>We did it again 💖 Thank you to all of our speakers, sponsors, reviewers, volunteers, and attendees for making North Bay Python something special.
