First Monday back home after @djangocon.us 2026, still somewhere between Chicago and European time 😅 I turned photos and videos from the week into a short highlights video: talks, community, friends, and a little Chicago 🎥 youtu.be/LgwoS4S4WiE #Django #DjangoCon #DjangoConUS

I’ve published my @europython.eu 2026 recap blog post 🇪🇺 It brings together the Mastodon posts and photos I shared live during the conference, creating a timeline of talks, community moments, people, ...👇 www.paulox.net/2026/07/20/m... #EP2026 #EuroPython

My talk from @posetteconf.com 2026 is now on YouTube 🎥🐘 “PostgreSQL Generated Columns by Example” explores the evolution of generated columns in PostgreSQL, using Django as a case study. Slides coming next week ✨ youtu.be/wExoyNdua0g #PostgreSQL #Django #Python #ORM #Postgres #GeneratedColumn

On the train heading to @pyconit 🚆 Over the years this trip has become a small ritual for me: a few quiet hours to slow down, revisit slides, think a bit, and decompress before the usual conference whirlwind 🌊 Curious if other people have similar conference rituals 🙂 #PyCon #PyConItalia

Last week I was at @pycon.us 2026 in Long Beach 🌴🐍 Talks, hallway chats, old friends, new friends, selfies, tacos, and many unexpected moments ✨ I collected the live posts and photos from the conference into a small timeline on my blog 🙂 www.paulox.net/2026/05/21/m... #Python #PyConUS #PyCon

Had a lot of fun today recording an episode of @talkpython.fm with @mkennedy.codes🎙️ We met last week at @pycon.us after my talk on AI-assisted contributions and maintainer load, and today we continued the chat on the podcast 🎧 Bonus: selfie at the end 📸😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RJ1... #Python #AI

We have a unique keynote this year: Guido van Rossum - the creator of Python - will be the guest on an episode of the core.py podcast, recorded live from the #EuroPython stage by @lukasz.langa.pl and @pablogsal.com Grab your ticket: ep2026.europython.eu/tickets/ #europython #python

Today at 11:00 AM I’ll be speaking at PyCon US in Grand Ballroom A at the Long Beach Convention Center about AI-assisted contributions and the impact they’re already having on open source maintainers 🎤 us.pycon.org/2026/schedul... #Python #OpenSource #PyConUS #PyCon #AI CC @pycon.us

My talk on generated columns will be in the POSETTE livestream on June 17 📆 I used Django as a concrete case to look at how behavior changes across PostgreSQL versions, especially with what’s coming in 18 🔍 Curious to hear how others are approaching this in real projects 💡 #PostgreSQL #PosetteConf

I’m happy to be speaking for the first time at the @djangolondon.com meetup on Thursday, May 7. 🎉 My talk will show Django’s GeneratedField through plenty of real-world examples. 🧩 It would be really nice to meet you there. 👋 #Django #London #Community #Python

I’ve just filled in the Python Developers Survey ✅ If you use Python at work or in your projects, it’s worth a few minutes. Python is a community-driven project, and this is how our voices get heard. 👉 pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/01/your... #Python #Developers #Survey

The Django Software Foundation recognizes Individual Members for their contributions to the Django community: code, docs, community work, events, or governance. ✨ You can nominate someone you appreciate, or yourself 🙂 Details here: 👇 www.djangoproject.com/foundation/i... #Django #DSF

This year I didn’t write a big “Year in Review” 😅 I preferred to spend time on smaller, focused write-ups: DjangoCon Europe & US, EuroPython, PyCon Italia, Django Groups workshops, and a year of building Python Pescara. All those stories are there 👉 www.paulox.net #YearInReview #Python #Community

I’ve published a personal retrospective on Python Pescara and our 2025. Meetups, Django Girls, conferences, and what community building looked like for us over the year. #Python #Pescara #Community www.paulox.net/2025/12/31/l...

I’ve published a retrospective on Django On The Med, a small standalone Django contributor sprint A few months later, I reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and the value that emerged beyond code when the focus was on people and being together www.paulox.net/2025/12/30/d... #DjangoOnTheMed #Django
