Creating an attendee list for the WebAssembly summit at PyCon US 2023 on Thursday, April 20th

Great! See you next Thursday!

(FYI that leaves 9 seats available.)

@brettcannon I would like to attend as well! I very recently joined Quansight Labs and one of the projects Iā€™ll be working on is better support for Pyodide in scientific Python projects.

@brettcannon we talked offline about this, but adding myself to the list for attendance as an interested party on the SC and core dev side as well as gauging future support for client projects that I consult on.

Adding @lys.nikolaou and @emily leave 7 seats available.

Iā€™ll add my name as well, as a person who is interested in conversations around the distribution story, the pieces for ā€œinstallingā€ things and related areas (the layer above the ā€œcoreā€ interpreter and below/beside the user-written code).

I would like to attend too, with the caveat that Iā€™m in the library/app author side with a project using Rust extensions and interested in the packaging/distribution story for Python Wasm.
Since I know this is outside the original scope (people working on the actual Python wasm impl), can I be the last one in the list and removed if it gets full of people in the scope? =]

(Funny side-story: I went the Rust direction because I wanted to run sourmash in the browser, but now can also run it using the latest pyodide =P)

I donā€™t know that I ever confirmed, but I will be at PyCon next week for the summit.

@kesmit youā€™re #10 on the original list.

With @kushaldas not making it and adding @pradyunsg and @luizirber makes the space left at 6.

Iā€™m not sure I can make it on Thursday, but Iā€™d love to attend if I can (so maybe count me as lower priority?). Iā€™m interested from the perspective of JupyterLab/JupyterLite.

Hi Brett, Can I attend the summit too? It will be great chance for me to see whatā€™s happening for the WASM and what features need to be supported from the CPython side :slight_smile:

Down to 4 seats with @corona10 and @jasongrout

And @willingc makes it 3 seats available.

FYI - WebAssembly Summit - PyCon US 2023 has the room info as we arenā€™t listed in the schedule.

Can I take one of the three remaining seats?? I am interested in web assembly.

@kesmit you mentioned how you were eager to get access to exception handling on wasi. Have you seen this wasmfx work?
https://wasmfx.dev/community/#wasm-tools-and-wasmtime-implementations
They want to implement stack switching but their plan for it requires first an implementation of all sorts of features including exception handling.

I hadnā€™t seen that work specifically, but one of my co-workers who keeps up with the Wasm specs had said that stack switching should be possible with the Wasm exceptions once they are finalized. Iā€™ll definitely keep an eye on this now though.
