All the best, The PyCon US Team From matt.g.payne at gmail.com Sat Oct 29 13:37:36 2022 From: matt.g.payne at gmail.com (Matt Payne) Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2022 12:37:36 -0500 Subject: [omaha] PyCon & REPL.it Message-ID: Jeff - Thanks for keeping this mailing list going. From it I learned that https://us.pycon.org/2023/ is in April. All - Has anyone been to a Python conference? I'd like to hear about it. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend a conference in 2023... For casual python programming, I enjoy REPLit.com very much. Their free tier is great[1]. I have a small flask program that uses https://blog.replit.com/replit-web for authentication and database. It's online at https://mb.payne.repl.co/. If you're looking for speakers, I'd love to talk with you about this. I'll be zooming into http://www.olug.org/2022/10/november-2022-olug-meeting/ on Tuesday. Wish I could be there in person. I'm mentioning OLUG because the terminal and the tmux utility are helpful to all programmers. The https://www.bpython-interpreter.org/ utility is one of my favorite python things to use on the terminal. Would anyone like to chat about thing python? Please start a thread on this list. Thanks --Matt Payne [1] full disclosure I'm on the $74/year tier that gives me private repos and extra always-on and extra boosted repos... or something like that. I'd have to look to know for sure.

My earliest was 2001. That was a memorable one because of the amount of time I got to spend with Guido and Tim. (Tim Peters is one of my favorite pythonistas. I'm also a fan of Guido's management style with Python that I believe still carries on today. That being, let the group flesh it out and come to consensus then decide.) It was the smallest PyCon that I've attended, maybe 300+ attendees, maybe double that. Through the years each PyCon has had its own uniqueness but the common thread is the hallway tracks. Now I haven't been to one in a while but they push the idea of hallway tracks and Birds of a Feather (BoF) gatherings. These are not talks but more unstructured gatherings of people with common interests. Hallway tracks are when you hear a couple talking about something that you are interested in and join in. Even if you are normally shy, if you can allow yourself to speak to your passions, you will have a great experience. You couldn't find a better group of friendly and helpful individuals.

Maybe it was 2003 or 4. It was in DC. I'm thinking 03, because 2.1 was the release when I went. I picked up python in 2001. My first patch submission was in 2001 to a mp3 web server named edna. I was looking for a way to create storage and access to my mp3 collection and ran across the project. Easy to install and I found a feature that I wanted. It was written in Python and I could easily make sense of what was going on. So I made my edits and submitted my first patch. Anyways, the PyCon was so enjoyable that I couldn't wait to go back again. Also, after that PyCon a group of us met up at Lansky's in Omaha to talk Python. That was the first meeting of the group that would become the Omaha Python Users group. -J On Sun, Oct 30, 2022 at 1:38 PM Matt Payne via Omaha wrote: > Thanks, Jeff!
