Volunteering at the PyLadies Booth on #PyCon2023 this morning from 8-10am, come chat, get stickers, learn more about PyLadies and/or buy a shirt to support the amazing work we do at @pyladies! 🥰🥰 #PyConUS2023

Alrighty, took a walk around the sponsors booth and now off to see @pydebb at the Charlas track!

Debora is talking about ways to contribute with the Python community, for example attending sprints, being a moderator, contributor in discord, telegram, slack channels, helping translate resources, etc.

Teaching is also a great way to contribute with the community!

I really like how she summarized what does it mean to be contributing to the community, based on other community members opinion, and it’s basically helping a cause you believe in directed to people in the way you can without stretching yourself too thin.

The insights into the PSF work is also very nice, people often forget the huge part that the foundation plays.

Bianca Henderson is talking about the Pluggy framework, which I had never heard before but I'm excited to try it out in a project now.

I’m here for Reconcile Everything now and I truly connect with Andrew’s view of a what a good system is.

I really liked the exposure of reconciliation a different way to build a scalable system, since I am a queue lover and that was a very interesting introduction to it and its pros and cons.

As far as I understood reconciliation basically works with a database, instead of several queues, and the systems all connect through that database instead. Ofc there is more to it but that's the jist. Worthy to explore in a future architecture.

PSF members lunch was great, truly enjoyed the opportunity of hearing the updates of the last years, and alao what they’re thinking of doing to increase the outreach of the Python community 🤘

Mark Shannon’s talk about the optimizations on Python was really good. I truly appreciate the work folks have been doing to improve Python - and the talk today was really complementary to the talk yesterday, strongly recommend watching both of you’re a CS nerd.
