Just watched this rather awesome talk by @glyph at #NBPY

It's been a while since I wrote any #python 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.

And excavators. Worth watching.

@glyph I REALLY TRULY thought I was joking when I told Phoebe that telling me the deadline was in June during #nbpy would cause me to miss the deadline, but I cut it so close i was holding my breath when I clicked submit 😅

If you missed my ‘From FinTech to Fin Tech’ talk at North Bay Python, here’s a blog post with the video

The slide everyone was talking about is at 06:27

And to anyone who lives on the west coast or can tolerate connecting through DFW or PHX, this is the better place to fly to #NBPy, even if the security does stop for a lunch break

@pathunstrom @itsthejoker gave a wonderful talk at #nbpy this year where that is one of the major takeaways. That and that you can redraw the line if you need to.

bad news: For the first time in a while, you're going to have to wait a full year between #NBPy events

Good news: WE'RE COMING BACK! April 25th and 26th, 2026, at our favorite ranch just south of Petaluma. See you there!

Taking the train to the car dealership (for reasons), it's always a great opportunity to snap a pic of the ranch and remember to start plotting next year's #NBPy

My phone is warning me that a Tile tracker might be tracking me. It's a false positive, but I noticed that the tracker was first seen the evening of the first day of North Bay Python 2025. 👋 #PyConUS #nbpy

I love that @amethyst didn’t change the slides - they mention #nbpy

@crazy4pi314 I'm bringing Skull and The Game, both hits at North Bay Python this year. Hopefully I can make it to an open space or one of @treyhunner's game nights. #PyConUS #NBPy

Two board game boxes. A small metal case with the card game "The Game" on the left, and a square box with the game "Skull" on the right.

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.

These are mostly conferences I was doing purely for fun, with no impact to my work.

But #PyCon is both my "home" conference (although #NBPy continues to give a run for money), and critical to both my career and side-projects.

I met this fellow on a footbridge with @pythonbynight@fosstodon.org! He was extremely fast, but patient enough to pose for a photo.

...the lizard. Not pythonbynight. But honestly it probably applies to both of them. #photography #nbpy #sonyalpha

It's difficult to explain just how gorgeous this landscape is at the Reis River Ranch. #nbpy #photography #sonyalpha

Do you ever take a picture and think about all the stories that you can make out of it? This is on the Reis River Ranch nearby Petaluma, CA, the home of #nbpy. I think they host the weddings here! #photography #sonyalpha

A moody photograph of a simple wooden arch and stage in front of a lake and weeping willow.

The gently-rolling hills of Petaluma, CA, as seen from the Reis River Ranch are just amazing. this location just takes my breath away every time I'm here for #nbpy.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently! And believe me, we were doing very serious Pythonic work. Very serious. #photography #sonyalpha #cat #catsofmastodon

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently! This incredible mural caught me by surprise, and I just had to show it as I saw it. The lifeblood of the US is in the people that call it home.

A photograph of a pink and white mural on a brick wall. A black outline with highlighted features of a woman dominates the center of the mural, and she appears to be carrying a large bundle labeled "MIGRA".

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. The Tea Room Cafe was always busy, so catching it in this sleepy moment felt really special! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

A photograph of a diner that's closed for the night. The clock on the back wall of the diner indicates 5:53am.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. Sacks is an incredible part of the Petaluma landscape, acting as a perpetual fundraiser for hospice care and grief counseling. They also make an amazing shot in the morning! Probably my favorite shot I took the whole weekend. #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure
