I have been waiting eagerly for www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Ae... to be posted so that I can send people @chrisjrn.fyi’s extremely good talk from @northbaypython.org this weekend. If you make software in a thoughtful way, this is a talk for you. Otherwise – watch it anyway, maybe you’ll be convinced?

Heading home after a delightful weekend of @northbaypython.org - always lovely to see everyone (we always get a great crowd) as well as the cats, of course.

A barn with a conference arranged inside. It's very rustic.

For your viewing pleasure, our time lapse video of the community strike. One frame every 10 seconds. As always, thanks so much to everyone who could stick around and help! It means we as organizers get to go enjoy dinner with all you fabulous people rather than spend many hours on cleanup. #NBPy

This was a fantastic event, and I would love to see it next year continue with the current programming direction, with the attendance numbers they had pre-COVID. Consider coming next year? Especially if you're in the Bay Area and can make it a day trip!
