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

What Is a Python Core Developer?

Talk Abstract How do you become a Python core developer? How can I become one? What is it like to be a Python core developer? These are the questions I often receive ever since I became a Python core developer a year ago. Contributing to Python is a long journey that does not end when one earns the commit privilege. There are responsibilities to bear and expectations to live up to.

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.

Talk Abstract Managing a large open source project like CPython is no easy task.

Typo of the Day: Flirt Install 🤭

I was trying to install a library using flit. The correct command is flit install. Flit is a simple way to package and publish Python packages on PyPI. You can read up about it in the docs. They also have a “Why use Flit” section. Typo of the day: `flirt install` 🤭 — Mariatta 🤦 (@mariatta) July 15, 2018

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCon Canada 2017

La Cabane De Danny PyCon Canada happened in November, in Montreal. It was freezing cold outside, but didn’t stop me from getting ice cream. I found La Cabane De Danny, and they make ice cream with bubble waffle cone. So fun! The matcha ice cream was real good! Unfortunately this shop has since closed down.

Ice Cream Selfie @ PyCon US 2017

What’s the Scoop PDX After giving my talk, Dial M For Mentor, I was feeling quite stressed out. My friend Jeff asked if there’s anything that would make me feel better, and I said “I wanna go get ice cream”. So we went to this place that he knew about. At that time, I didn’t consider Ice Cream Selfie to be a “thing” yet, but I think this is when it becomes a real “tradition”.
