My talk, "Who is Python for? EVERYONE (and why that matters)" from PyData Boston last month is up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPQg...

The home of Hannah Natanson, a Washington Post reporter, was searched by the FBI. Her devices were seized. I spoke to @columjournreview.bsky.social about the potential damage and what news organizations need to know. www.cjr.org/news/hannah-...

Other states are taking action against ICE violence. MA should join them. newjerseymonitor.com/2026/01/12/l...

MA lags behind other blue states in the basics when it comes to limiting police collaboration with ICE. Far past time to correct that and catch up. actionnetwork.org/letters/ma-n...

See you all tomorrow morning! It's going to be a pretty nice temperature to leave your house and hang out with other Pythonistas tomorrow! #BostonCaveats

Thank you to everyone who's donated to the PSF this year!!

Thanks, @redmonk.com! Our Executive Director @eximious.bsky.social had a great time meeting with @kateholterhoff.com and chatting about computing trends.

Talk with your colleagues about safety protocols. When is it okay to share each other's contact information? If you're in the office, how do you field requests from unexpected visitors? Is there a manager or department leader willing to field emails on your behalf?

Things we learned from my wife being profiled by Campus Reform a few years ago: - Be careful responding to emails from people you don't know asking about your research - Don't list your office location on your university web profile page

Wow! Free speech is under attack and you're calling for apologies? I guess we can put @variety.com on the list of spineless MAGA shills.

This happens tomorrow!

Don’t miss this podcast episode with the PSF’s Executive Director, @eximious.bsky.social, on funding open source, PyCon US, global community support & the importance of sustainability!

@netflix.com Hi Netflix! What's going on with the download limits? I haven't grabbed anything in months and today I have apparently already reached some new limit you all just invented? What the heck?

If you're planning to vote in @thepsf.bsky.social Board Elections and maybe thinking of taking the weekend to learn about the candidates, may I suggest that you check for your ballot today? PSF staff won't be working on the weekend and won't be able to help you until next week.

This is unexpectedly delightful: a dying mall in Portland Oregon is filling up with a beautiful collection of weird and interesting businesses because the rent is now affordable for them www.tiktok.com/@hereisorego...

Incident Report of the recent #PyPI Phishing Campaign TL,DR: • PyPI was not breached • PyPI users were targeted with phishing emails • A single project saw uploads with malicious code and those releases have been removed blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-0... #Python #OpenSource #Security

Washington Voters! Today is the deadline to register to vote and update your voter information online! Important local races for county, city, school, fire districts, and key ballot measures are on the ballot. For more voter info, visit VoteWA.gov

Homelessness is not a crime.

Heads Up, #Python Developers! There is an active phishing attack targeting PyPI users. • Threat: Emails from [email protected] (with a 'j') link to a fake login page. • Action: Do not click any links. If you already did, change your PyPI password ASAP. • Note: PyPI itself has not been breached.

We have so many amazing people in the Python community. If you believe that your expertise could help the PSF navigate explosive growth in the Python community coupled with a dynamic time in the tech sector and come out stronger, then you might be a great board member!

Check it out later when there's video, but right now @sethmlarson.dev is dropping some critical information about #OpenSource #Security at the #OpenSSFCommunity Day NA

I have a lot of tomato plants if you want any.

I am convinced* that @Yhg1s is in the process of creating the most important* study* in the history of #python, and you should contribute to it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRgC-YWEriHW_rbcBY9jWJf35w3bPxP01Mg5EAu25lOyPAeg/viewform

Don’t forget to change the filter on your dream catcher.

We have your stuff and we don't want it ! Please come take anything here that belongs to you from the #PyConUS Lost & Found in rm 306-307 (staff room) by Thursday. Anything still here Thursday we willl hand over to the convention center.

A donation from @ThePSF in 2001 bootstrapped Software Carpentry? Well that is quite the long-term success story from a PSF grant. Amazing. #pyconus

Spider-Man uses Django, obviously, being a web developer and all. #PyConUS

A thoroughly well-deserved Community Service Award given to @daisy for service during an exceptionally long tenre at the helm of @pyconau, presented at #pyconus. It's an absolute travesty that she is unable to accept it here in person. I hope this country can start doing better by trans people […]

I’m incredibly honored to have received a community service award at #PyConUS2025. I love all the work I do with #PyTexas, and look to many more years of contributing to the community. Also, fun fact, I received this award in the anniversary of my first day at my first ever #PyConUS

Also have to applaud @python.org and the community for really investing in bringing new people and experiences to #PyConUS. It can take a lot of intention and work to make a programming conference a welcoming space for everyone to be “good weird” together, and we all benefit.

Thank you so much to the #PyConUS organizers, attendees, sponsors, and vendors, and the community. We know what it takes to run a big tech conference at the DLLCC and everyone did excellent.

Aaaaaand Sprints Day One! #PyConUS

Something will happened at @pycon.us in Ballroom B/C. 2:30 PM. 🍌 @1st1.dev

PyConUS day 3 started! #PyConUS

Looking forward to this afternoon's awards at #pyconus There are so many great people receiving awards this year!! See you in the big room at 4:15 🥳

If you're at #pyconus today, I'll hope you'll join the "PSF & Meetups" open space discussion in room 310/311 to talk about how the PSF can support Python meetups and maybe how meetups can support each other! pycon.blogspot.com/2025/04/comm...

Are you thinking about staying for sprints at #pyconus tomorrow? @lukasz.langa.pl has answered nearly every question you might have! pycon.blogspot.com/2025/04/pyco...

If you're at #PyConUS I would LOVE to talk to you about my various projects - I'll be stood next to my poster in Hall A tomorrow from 10am to 1pm - it's the one with the "teenage bedroom" aesthetic, I decided to fill all available space with photos of things I like simonwillison.net/2025/May/17/...

Also is anyone from the Seattle chapter of PyLadies at #PyConUS???

It happened again. Craziest item at PyLadies Auction contributed by the community. Ee’s badge, ice cream coupons, cash from different countries, juggling balls, stickers, bandaid sold for $2000. For the community. By the community #PyConUS @pycon.us

If #PyConUS / #PyCon alerts you to someone who's especially helpful, who's contributed a lot to the world and whose service makes you think "wow," consider nominating them for recognition! pyfound.blogspot.com/2024/09/serv...

I'll be hosting an "LGBTQ Hangout" open space tomorrow after lunch: There are dozens of us! Come say hi, talk about anything, or just show up and listen. Anyone is welcome! Saturday, 1-2PM EST in Room 318. I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and catching up with old friends! 👋 #pyconus […]
