See you soon, DjangoCon US!

2026-05-23 02:55:59 GMT

If you participated in PyCon US, please fill out the survey. It helps a lot. Remind your friends.

Why is it that I keep seeing "everyone should pin their GitHub Actions versions to a SHA because that's the secure way to do it" and not "GitHub should build tooling that creates and manages Actions lockfiles by default"? Am I just missing that version and only seeing the former one boosted?

Today's @nprofile…rum6 call starts in five hours (at 9PM US Eastern time). Join us to talk about contribution sprints, conference websites, and all sorts of other community organizing topics. https://www.conferencechats.org

A demo webpage for a PEP is a really neat use case for Python in the browser https://lazy-import-demo.pages.dev/

Do you know of examples of a software library's test suite catching a bug in its upstream dependencies? I've seen a few of these over the years, and I'd like to put together a small list. Things like:
- A programming language implementation's test suite uncovering a bug in other implementations
- A library's test suite uncovering a bug in the language implementation itself
- A framework addon's / extension's test suite uncovering a bug in the framework

When @nprofile…qctp and I joined an episode of @nprofile…sj72 a bit ago (https://fosstodon.org/@djangochat/114268050638878390), we talked a bit about carrying the excitement and energy from a conference into post-conference projects. It's fun watching some of that manifest as people join projects as contributors, start their own projects, and generally continue their enthusiasm following #PyConUS.

@nprofile…cz6e What if, hypothetically speaking, PyCon US were to also be in California?

2025-04-09 16:32:00 GMT

The CFP due dates for both @nprofile…ne62 and @nprofile…3kgp are ~2.5 weeks away and fast approaching. I should probably get working on those outlines if I want to get a proposal ready in time.

New blog post that I intend to add sections to as I find more relevant examples: https://www.jonafato.com/2025/03/20/conference-advice-from-non-conference-sources

@nprofile…ssyg There's also a JSON API that doesn't require an accept header documented at https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/json.html#get--pypi--project_name--json (e.g. https://pypi.org/pypi/pydantic/json) if you haven't seen that. (Not sure if this has the info you're looking for in the response.)

I'd like to thank all those folks who work to make their communities welcoming and inclusive. I appreciate you.
It's easy to get bogged down in all the negative stuff. The positive actions deserve the spotlight, but the negative ones so often distract from them, and that's a shame.

You may have seen me rant here about how there are too many people who qualify for Managing and Contributing memberships with the PSF are not actually enrolled as such. The due date to enroll as a voting member before this year's elections is just a few days away (June 25th).
I'm happy to help you get enrolled as a Supporting, Contributing, or Managing member this weekend. I have no PSF board affiliation or anything like that, but I've filled out these forms before and want to help where I can.

You know what happens when you publicly shame someone for sharing covid test results? People stop sharing them. The test results don't change, just the ability of other people to learn that they may have been exposed and to test and take precautions themselves. Public shaming may make you feel superior, but it does nothing for harm reduction at best.

2024-05-22 13:21:18 GMT

Hey, so I pretty rarely blog, but this post that I shared here a couple days ago (https://www.jonafato.com/2024/05/20/conference-organizing-isnt-a-trap) was one of those things I couldn't get out of my head otherwise. It would mean a lot to me if you kept the sentiment in mind for future occasions when you see people getting pushed away from organizing communities of any sort. And if you legitimately feel trapped in your role, please reach out so we can help find the right people to help lighten that burden.

What is the correct portmanteau for the words exhilarating and exhausting?

2024-05-10 00:54:18 GMT

I'll be at PyCon US next week. Looking forward to seeing old friends and new. And looking forward to meeting a bunch of my friends that I've known for years now, in-person for the first time.
