Ice Cream Selfies

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCascades 2021

At PyCascades 2021, I was on a panel with Guido van Rossum, Carol Willing, Brett Cannon, and Nina Zakharenko, so after that was done, I asked them to do an ice cream selfie with me. I’m glad they all obliged! 😊 I had the Nestle DRUMSTICK Sundae Cone. A very special virtual #IceCreamSelfie with @WillingCarol @brettsky @nnja @gvanrossum #pycascades 🍦😝🤳 pic.twitter.com/MXUn0E3jRq — Mariatta 🤦 (@mariatta) February 20, 2021

Ice Cream Selfie @ SeaGL, PyCon Indonesia, PyCon Poland 2020

It was 2020. I joined so many virtual conferences, and at one point, I was a speaker at three different conferences all in one same weekend. 2020 was also, a challenging time, I didn’t get to go out a lot. I didn’t even get to do my Ice cream selfie after the conference. Finally, on new year’s eve, we decided to celebrate and go out. While in Robson Street, we stopped by a Korean grocery store and my kids saw some boba milk tea ice cream bar for sale. So I decided to do my ice cream selfie at that time.

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCon Australia, and PyCon Taiwan 2020

Rocky Point Ice Cream 2020, the year of virtual conferences for me. I get to speak at two different conferences happening in the same weekend: PyCon Australia, and PyCon Taiwan. I decided to just get two scoops of ice cream from one shop. This is from Rocky Point Ice Cream. Thanks @pyconau and @PyConTW for having me! I gave talk at two conferences in the same weekend so I think I deserve the two scoops of ice cream from @RPIceCream (I picked matcha green tea and espresso flakes flavours)#IceCreamSelfie 🍦😝🤳 pic.twitter.com/i1PFurh2iH

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCon US 2020

PyCon US 2020 was cancelled, but I still decided to record a tutorial for it. Since everything was still closed down at that time, so I just bought some ice cream and ice cream cones from the grocery store.

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCon US 2019

Cathy’s Gourmet Ice Cream Sandwiches PyCon US 2019 was a busy one for me. I gave a talk, a tutorial, and also ran the first Mentored Sprints with Nina Zakharenko and Tania Allard, AND co-chaired the Python Language Summit for the first time 😵 (I ended up co-charing it for 4 years). I went to Cathy’s Gourmet Ice Cream Sandwiches. The ice cream sandwich was really yummy! 😋 I’m sad to hear that this place has since closed down.

Ice Cream Selfie @ North Bay Python 2018

Angela’s Organic Ice Cream Petaluma One perk of being a keynote at North Bay Python is you get to headline and have your name up on the marquee ⭐️ It’s really cool! Thanks North Bay Python for inviting me! I get to immortalize it in my ice cream selfie 😝 Little did I know that I would return to the conference, and back to Angela’s Organic Ice Cream five years later! 🍦😋🤳 A very special #IceCreamSelfie #nbpy pic.twitter.com/4feYSs2lRg

Ice Cream Selfie @ DjangoCon US 2018

Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream It was fun visiting San Diego for DjangoCon US 2018. I gave my talk Don’t Be a Robot; Build the Bot. I think it was well received 😊 This was also a special travel trip, because, well it happens that my husband also needed to travel for work at the same time, so we don’t have anyone to look after our two kids. I ended up taking my kids with me to the conference.
