My main joys in life are: 
video streaming, conference organizing
, coding, directing tv, bicycles and cats.
 We might have met at srccon, nicar, csvconf, a python conference or at a pyladies meetup. 
 I’m also a PSF Fellow and Chair of PyCon US 2025-2026

I really do appreciate that #PyConUS supports a variety of ways to showcase great Python community projects, including having a posters session.

The format is so welcoming for learning new things and being able to talk to the presenters 1 on 1!

This sounds trivial, but data portals are often created backwards, trying to fulfill a need without really understand it. Again, compliance and delivery should not be the driving forces. What does the user need? #csvconf #csvconfv9

⚠️ Pro tips for any Summit presenters at PyCon US 2025: (hatchery, language, maintainer, community organizers, etc)

1. Light mode for your slides
2. Use big fonts
3. Share presentation link to your audience so they can follow along in case your slides are not readable

PyCon US 2025 Tutorial Sneak Peek: ""Building a cross-platform app with BeeWare"-Russell Keith-Magee
All code needs a user interface. That might be an API, or a web page - but these days, many users will expect an app that they can install on their laptop, or on their phone. But how do you build a native application in Python? And do you need to build a different version of your app for every device and operating system you want to support? In this hands-on tutorial, you'll learn how you can use the BeeWare suite of tools to build a graphical user interface for your code, and deploy that code as a desktop app, and as a mobile app - all from a single Python codebase. You'll learn how to integrate third-party libraries like NumPy into your app, and how to customize the appearance of your packaged app. You'll also learn how you can access device hardware (such as cameras and GPS) in your...
