I finally published a recap of my PyCon US.
It's more of a public diary for myself than a "here's what you should do".
I'm looking forward to seeing folks again in Long Beach next year!
#PyconUS
The Python Language Summit is a yearly event that takes place before #PyConUS, where core developers, triagers, and other guests discuss the future direction of #Python.
You can read the summaries of each session on the PSF blog: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/06/python-language-summit-2025.html
Another #PyConUS video that I care about, the #Python Steering Council keynote. I wasn't on stage this year! because I'm no longer on the SC 😂 but they did cover something I care about a lot: Free-threaded Python #PEP703
I've been pestering the SC a lot to say something about the state of it in 3.14, and boy, did they indulge me. Six and a half minutes of the 30 minute keynote is about the efforts to remove the GIL.
More #PyConUS videos are up, including my _absolute favourite moment_ of the conference: Van Lindberg and @ejodlowska picking up their _tremendously_ deserved Distinguished Service Awards, *in person*. (I hadn't seen either in a few years, it was very emotional.)
They are both pinnacles of the Python community and set extraordinary, practically unattainable examples for the rest of us. I'm glad we got to cheer for them. (It was LOUD, so loud alarms went off!)
#PyConUS recordings continue to go up! One freshly posted session is the annual Steering Council presentation, with updates on Python 3.14 🥧, free threading, and more. As Pablo would say, WOW. https://youtu.be/BrEjbbDdQsM?feature=shared

There was actually an Open Space at #PyConUS for watching #EuroVison. I saw a rather big gathering back then..
Our captioning team had so much fun providing live captioning at #pyconus!

My friends missed me at our Eurovision party (I missed it because #PyConUS was on at the same time), and they insisted on a do-over.
Good Eurovision catch-up party was good. Would do again.
ICYMI: here’s Finding 2.0 from PyConUS 2025. It’s a hard talk, but one of hope and a few laughs in which we compare software versioning schemes to personal development. It took a catastrophe to find version 2.0, but it doesn’t have to. Hope you enjoy! #pyconus #pyconus2025
Maybe there are others of you out there who are still ruminating on your PyCon US experience (you animals 😁 )... Among other things, I've been pondering the concept of "twiddling" from Doctorow's keynote (@pluralistic).
Since I'm not sure I'll quite have the bandwidth to travel to the bay for ehat[.]fyi, I decided to "have a take" via my blog...
Proceed with caution, as my uninformed opinion abounds...
📢 🔊 Our Executive Director @drkariljordan's #PyConUS 2025 keynote is now up on @pycon's YouTube channel. 🎉
Kari shares some incredible insights on the importance of community in data science education, along with stories of impact from our community members who use Python for Good. Thank you Sarah Brown, aflaxman@fediscience.org @fgazzelloni Amanda Kis, and @marijane for responding to Kari's call for Python stories. 🙏
Check out Kari's keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOLpTA7pRI
Catching up on #pyconus videos this morning over coffee, before getting into the work day.
Really enjoyed the session on building cross-platform GUI apps from @freakboy3742.
I haven't written my own personal PyCon US 2025 recap blog post yet, but most of the time I spent at the conference were related to PyLadiesCon, so I wrote the PyLadiesCon recap blog post instead.
Check it out!
📣 Our PyLadiesCon recap from PyCon US 2025 is live! 💜🐍
We had an unforgettable time in Pittsburgh — connecting with the global Python community, sharing our mission, and celebrating together!
✨ From lightning talks and the PyLadies Lunch to building support for our next edition, it was a weekend full of impact and joy.

I'm proud of my spouse Leonard for his decades of service to the world. The #Python Software Foundation recently recognized some of that service by naming him a @python.org Fellow, & giving him the Community Service Award. 3 photos of the #PyConUS 2025 ceremony: harihareswara.net/posts/2025/c...

My PyConUS 2025 talk, "Processing Large JSON Files Without Running Out Of Memory", is now up on YouTube:
The first slides of this @pycon talk "Processing large JSON files without running out of memory" by @itamarst are 10/10 👏🏻

Next year's #PyConUS seems to take place in Long Beach, CA. Tempting... but not right now 😩 https://lists.iana.org/hyperkitty/list/tz@iana.org/thread/OFFEEPFUHD4M4SUP4Y3CZ4BF74B6KVFL/
