When: Wednesday, April 15, 2020, 9am–4pm (Note, we’re starting 1 hour earlier than usual!)
Where: David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA, room TBD
We welcome Python core developers, active core contributors to Python and alternative Python implementations, and anyone else who has a topic to discuss with core developers.
Who can propose a discussion topic
If you have discussion items; seeking consensus; awaiting decision on a PEP; needing help with your core dev work; or have specific questions that need answers from core developers, please submit a proposal. According to last year’s feedback, our audience prefer more discussions and shorter talks.
To get an idea of past language summits, you can read past years’ coverage:
Just to remind everyone that signup to the language summit is still open for another 11 days.
So far folks have proposed topic like: f-strings, CPython’s documentation, PEG parser, property-based testing, and more!
We’ve received a number inquiries about the language summit, so here are some Q&A:
1. Do I need to sign up if I’m a Python core developer?
Yes please! Attendance is limited to 50 people. Please register to reserve your seat in the room.
2. Can I sign up if I’m not a Python core developer?
Yes you can. Last year we had 15 participants (out of 50) who were not Python core devs. Among them were maintainers and representatives from BeeWare, CircuitPython, PSF board member, PyCharm, etc.
Reminder to anyone who responded but has had to cancel their pycon trip: find the email from the form and update your response or otherwise let Mariatta know.
A number of language summit attendees and presenters have told us that they could no longer attend.
Right now, we’re waiting to hear status update from The PSF about PyCon. I heard they will make some announcement tomorrow (Friday). From there we will see how we can improvise.
I think we have room for 1-2 more folks, so if anyone from Jython wants to participate, just let me know. I can send out the calendar invite.
All discussion topics have been chosen, however you can still sign up for lighting talks (at the end of day 2).
Send me and email (mariatta at python dot org) with the following info:
Your name
Do you agree to be recorded on Zoom? (for our blogger)
Thanks @Mariatta: I’d been checking back here but didn’t think to revisit the conference pages. Somehow I had it in my mind more as a committee than talks (which is silly as I’d read your 2019 talk).
I should write something anyway, but for another time. I won’t take a spot, thanks: another year I’ll have something worth talking about.
