So exciting! I love hearing people's big picture ideas around Python and the PSF's future!

🐱 What can cats teach us about open source leadership? A lot, actually. PSF Exec. Dir. @eximious.bsky.social spoke at @northbaypython.org 2026 on staying focused, filtering noise, and not letting the internet knock you off course. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlA... #Python #OpenSource

The Steering Council has asked for a proper PEP for the CPython JIT. I’m happy to help coordinate that work. If you want to contribute as author, reviewer, or with any related input, please get in touch. discuss.python.org/t/an-announc...

The PSF's Strategic Plan full draft is available and we want your feedback. After sharing high-level goals in May, we're opening a 3-week community feedback window. Read the full draft and tell us: Are these the right goals? Is anything missing? #Python #PyPI pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/06/psf-...

💡 Security Track Spotlight: In his talk “GitHub Actions Security in Python Packages” at #PyConUS 2026 @andrewnez.bsky.social shares findings from scanning thousands of workflows and practical ways to harden Python package releases. #security us.pycon.org/2026/schedul...

hey folks, we're super short on volunteers tomorrow (May 15) at #PyConUS. We're seeing 50% empty shifts for green room volunteers, session runners and chairs. If you have a talk session to wish to see tomorrow, why not double up and help out by being a session chair for that time?

If you're attending #PyConUS and want to find me, I'm likely to be found: - Thursday evening Reception, PSF Booth - Friday afternoon, Packaging Summit - Saturday, before lunch, #Security Track - Saturday, after lunch, Maintainers Summit - Sunday morning, Keynote Stage, Update from Security Engineers

The PSF booth is hosting Meet & Greet sessions with @pycon.us 2026 keynotes and #Python community groups 🤝🐍 Come connect with some of the people who make the Python community awesome 💫 #PyConUS

At least three of @thepsf.bsky.social's most recent Community Service Award winners are at #pyconus this weekend! If you see them tell them Congratulations!! pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/05/anno...

Traveling to your first #PyConUS today? I have a blog post for you (that's also available in audio form at the top of the page): trey.io/first-pycon The audio version is ~35 minutes long, but if you're in a hurry, it's quite understandable at 1.5x speed. You can also download the audio file.

I should be cramming for my tutorial coming up later, but wanted to post this real quick. See some of you soon! #PyConUS

PEP 772, creating an official Python packaging council, has been approved! 🎉 I'm so excited for the council and the work it will do. Many thanks to @pumpichank.bsky.social, @eximious.bsky.social, and @pradyunsg.me for your hard work in making this happen! discuss.python.org/t/pep-772-pa...

This about cats and also about being intentional with your attention, especially at this time.

🎉📦 The Packaging Summit at PyCon US 2026 is now live. If you work on Python packaging, maintain packages, support downstream distribution, or have topics that would benefit from focused in-person discussion, please take a look: us.pycon.org/2026/events/... #PyConUS #Python

I met Thomas Wouters in the hotel lobby. We talked about Python, community, the people who make it what it is. Three days later he was called on stage as a Distinguished Service Award recipient. He gave no hint. #PyConUS | Long Beach, CA us.pycon.org/2026/venue/hotels/ #Python

🌍✨ AI Track Spotlight: Join Gift Ojeabulu at #PyConUS 2026 for "Making African Languages Visible: A Python-Based Guide to Low-Resource Language ID" and learn how to build language detection systems for African languages using FastText. #AI #Python us.pycon.org/2026/schedul...

Are you going to #PyConUS? Have you booked in our hotel block? New on the blog, some hard numbers & why we’re in a tight spot. We only have until April 24th to turn the tide, so please read, share, and book your PyCon US stay in the official block today.

🏨 Book in the official #PyConUS 2026 hotel block and get a mystery swag 🎁 🎟️ Grab your ticket: us.pycon.org/2026/attend/ 👉 Hotels: us.pycon.org/2026/venue/h... #PyLadies #PyCon #Python

🚨 Making history at #PyConUS 2026! 🚨 For the first time ever, we’ll have a Keynote in Spanish 🎉🐍 Featuring @pablogsal.com, CPython core dev & Steering Council member. 📝 More details: pycon.blogspot.com/2026/04/haci... 🎟️ Register: us.pycon.org/2026/attend/ #PyConCharlas #Python

🔑 Security Track Spotlight: Python isn’t supposed to segfault… right? 👀 At #PyConUS 2026, @emmatyping.dev explores how Rust for CPython can improve memory safety and reliability in Python’s core runtime. #security us.pycon.org/2026/schedul...

I love playing games in hotel lobbies during @pycon.us. It's hard to think of someone as an unapproachable stranger when you've spent 20 minutes playing a game in a small group with them. I plan to play games in The Westin lobby during #PyConUS at least a couple nights. See you at The Westin?

Using #Python for #AI but not involved in the community? You're leaving a lot on the table! Watch the PSF's Executive Director @eximious.bsky.social on #PyTV from @jetbrains.com to explore why community participation is at the core of Python's power. 🎤🐍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkN7...

Real talk on PyCon US hotels and conference economics.

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!!
