Next up at #DjangoCon is a keynote I'm very excited about.

Here's @jesslynnrose from Mozilla talking about burnout. Why are we talking about burnout? (Especially after talking about contributing to open source?)

Because if you're burned out you can't do your best work.

Advice for getting started speaking at conferences:

Don’t be afraid to throw your hat into the ring. “I have nothing new to say, it’s all been covered” is a myth that I hear beginners perpetuate as a way to talk themselves out of speaking. It's not true.
