Thanks for improved discourse landing and some shoutouts

[willingc (Carol Willing)]

I like the new sections for Packaging in Discourse.

I also want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the many maintainers who work to improve packaging and keep things running.

In particular, I want to recognize @webknjaz for their thoughtful reviews and recent troubleshooting of GitHub Actions and Trusted Publishing to PyPI for @lwasser and pyOpenSci. I also want to recognize @dstufft for similarly helping me over a decade ago to understand how to use pip effectively for Python 2 and 3 in my Jupyter work.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words, Carol! Please, don’t forget to thank @woodruffw who was actually the one to implement and continuously improve the Trusted Publishing in the first place and have been working hard to make the tokenless publishing experience so straightforward.

Thanks, @woodruffw, too! I didn’t know that you implemented and improved Trusted Publishing. Thank you for making package distribution more secure.

I hope to see you at PyCon and the Packaging Summit.

@willingc - such a nice post! you are appreciated too!

i am so so appreciative to both @woodruffw and @webknjaz for your help with the packaging challenge i encountered with trusted publishers!
thank you both !!

AND not only did you help but also I learned a bit about security and releases so not only was it helpful, my workflow will be improved because of it!

@willingc

FTR, seems like @pradyunsg led the charge on recatorgizing posts to these sections, so thanks to him on that!

@willingc

I hope to see you at PyCon and the Packaging Summit.

There’s still a month left to sign up and two to submit topics, but just a shout out to everyone to sign up if you’re going to PyCon and would be interested, and share any topic ideas you have! I see @willingc 's signed up, and if you’ll be at PyCon @lwasser we’d love to have you there again as well! Looking forward to seeing you all!

Announcement: The PyCon US Packaging Summit 2024!

Hello everyone—it’s that time of year again! @pradyunsg , @FFY00 , @jezdez and I are excited to announce that registration and topic proposals for the Python Packaging Summit at PyCon US 2024 are officially open! As in past years, the summit will be an opportunity to have a hands-on, in-person discussion of the key packaging issues facing the Python community, with the topics to be decided by all of you. When and where This year, after coordinating and deconflicting with the other planned summi…

Thank you so much! I did a decent chunk of the work there, but @dustin deserves all the credit for the original plan and design (and for getting it funded!)

(I’ve been working with some colleagues on additional platform support, we hope to be able to announce Trusted Publishing for at least 3 more platforms by PyCon!)

I will definitely be at PyCon as well, although I probably won’t be able to stay for the packaging summit this year (first time in 2/3(?) years missing it )

[lwasser (Leah Wasser)]

@CAM-Gerlach i just signed up!! looking forward to the summit and all things pycon US this year! see you, CAM & everyone else who plans to attend there!

I also signed up for the Packaging Summit a few days ago but I’m still waiting to hear from the employer that they’ll actually fund my trip this year…
