Thanks @AlexWaygood for the write ups!

Also thank you to all presenters and attendees for great content and discussions.

This is the fourth Language Summit that I co-chaired with @ambv, and also my last one. I’m stepping down from this responsibility to free up my time to take on other responsibilities and challenges. I’m grateful to have been given this opportunity to serve the Python community. This has been a great privilege and valuable experience. Thank you @ambv for working alongside me the past four years, and @senthil for helping out this year.

Thank you!

Mariatta is being modest. She will be the new PyCon chair for the next two years. Thank you for your work organizing the language summit, Mariatta, and good luck in your new role! :heart:

(And yes, I guess we need a new volunteer. Any takers?)

Does it have to be a core dev? :slight_smile:

FYI, @ambv (who will be doing his last tour of duty in the position next year) brought this up at the end of the summit and chatting with him about it just a couple days later, he already had a bunch of people volunteer, considerably more than were needed. At this point it sounds like its taken care of, but just in case anyone else interested would want to message him about it.

That’s right. We received a pretty good response to our call for help and now we have too many volunteers :slight_smile: In 2023 @Senthil will be co-chairing with me, with one additional person shadowing us that will take over my role here for 2024. We’ll announce soon who that is once we’ve got everything confirmed.
