00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:05,910
[Music]

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,000
PyCon AU gets to use the name PyCon and

3
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:18,000
the people we have to ask for permission

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,080
to use that name is the Python Software

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,640
Foundation and um Chris would you like

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,080
to come back upstage to say a few words

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,720
on behalf of the Python Software

8
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,880
Foundation?

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,079
Certainly. Yes. Uh so uh I'm on the

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,800
stage this time uh in my capacity as

11
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,559
vice chair of the uh of the board of the

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,800
foundation and one of the things excuse

13
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:44,680
me lost my breath for for some reason I

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,680
shouldn't have jumped off the stage.

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,160
Um, one of the things that we do as a

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,199
foundation is recognize important people

17
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,760
in our community. And we do that with a

18
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:58,559
series of community service awards. We

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,199
give a bunch of these out every year.

20
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:05,119
And last year we uh oh, and one of the

21
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,760
things that comes with this uh is a uh

22
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:14,000
lifetime offer to show up at PyCon US uh

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:17,680
to be presented with your award. And um

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,759
in the last year or so it's become uh

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,799
somewhat fraught to uh to enter the US

26
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,280
uh if you are a uh member of a number of

27
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:31,119
minorities including transgender people.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,920
And uh last year uh we wrote this

29
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,960
citation. This was in March 2024. Uh the

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,439
Q1 2024 community service award was

31
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:41,439
given to Daisy Lee Breni in recognition

32
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:43,840
of her work leading the Python community

33
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,200
in Australia. Initially as an organizer

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,159

Australia for over four years.

36
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,600
Throughout her time leading PyCon

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Australia, she has repeatedly

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,920
demonstrated her ability to build teams

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,799
and lead her events with a commitment to

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,880
inclusivity and diversity, which is is

41
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,320
an example of the best in the Python

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,479
community. Um, Daisy was not here to

43
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,039
receive uh was not at PyCon US to receive

44
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:14,319

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,400

but we got through it. We got through it

61
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:25,440
but it's taken a lot of work. Uh I've

Now let's

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,519
stop focusing on the future for a

82
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,720
moment. Let's focus on the present. How

83
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,280
has this Python AU gone? It's time for

84
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,280
statistics. We love statistics.

85
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:28,280
Yeah.

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,199
This year we had 584 registrations. Uh

87
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560
exactly how many individuals that is.

88
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:38,479
I'm going to have to like compare email

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,600
addresses and check for uniqueness. But

90
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:44,080
that's a lot. That's more than we had

91
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:46,240
last year. We had 99 presentations. Uh

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,320
24 lightning talks, nine student talks.

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Uh the rest of that being your regular

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,120
program.

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,479
Uh there was 12 financial assistance

96
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,240
recipients. We would like there to be

97
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:57,440
more than 12 financial assistance

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800
recipients next year. So please

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560
encourage your employer to become a

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080
sponsor. The more sponsors we have, the

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,080
more financial assistance we can offer

102
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,600
and the more people we can bring to PyCon

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,479
AU.

104
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,720
We had one very creepy robot.

105
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:16,919
Like, are you ready to be creeped? Oh,

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,919
it's there. It's there.

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,680
All right. So,

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Oh, I don't want Yeah, let's let's move

109
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,639
that away.

110
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,320
So, today's the last day of the PyCon AU

111
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,400
conference. Ah,

112
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,720
but it's not the last day of Python AU

113
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,479
cuz there is tomorrow we have the

114
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:42,199
sprints starting the development

115
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:42,199
sprints. Uh they are going to

116
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,960

Yes,

185
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,640
sometimes the speakers sometimes a

186
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,560
speaker has to drop out at the last

187
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,160
minute. We have people who are waiting

188
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:48,560
in the rings to make sure we don't have

189
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,839
an empty schedule and we did not have an

190
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,440
empty schedule. There was someone

191
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:53,920
talking in every slot where someone was

192
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:58,760
meant to be talking. Some of those were

193
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,760
a little bit last minute. Thank you.

194
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,560
Thank you to our artist uh Robert

195
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,560
Shelton. Robert Shelton is an incredible

196
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,600
local Melbourne artist who made this

197
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,320
illustration that we've had on the

198
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,959
t-shirts, mugs, and stickers. Um, I met

199
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Robert after I did a walking street art

200
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:19,279
tour of Melbourne that ended at uh Rob

201
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,080
Shelton's uh studio where I saw his work

202
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:23,680
and went, "That looks pretty good. Do

203
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,440
you do commissions? Would you do a tech

204
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:28,560
conference?" And he's like, "Of course,

205
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:32,080
of course." It resulted in this amazing

206
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:35,160
uh this amazing snack.

207
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160
All right.

take it ourselves because we are all on

287
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,000

343
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,240

And that's all the thanks. So,

348
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,279
I guess it's story time now. I need to

349
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:38,800
add lib for a while. That's all my

350
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,759
speaker notes say is, "Hey, Pete, just

351
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,320
talk for a bit." Um,

352
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:48,240
so I'm going to tell a story about my

353
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,720
fourth PYON because I went to my first

354
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,079
PyCon because I knew the director and I

355
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,360
was like, "Yeah, yeah, you're worried

356
00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:54,480
people won't come to your conference.

357
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,720
I'll do you a favor and come to your

358
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,800
conference. Least I could do." And I had

359
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,480
a good time. PyCon was great. Um, if

360
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,800
you've come to PyCon today, you know it's

361
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,039
a good time. You know, it was great. So,

362
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,640
I went again the next year and I

363
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,319
recognized some of the people say, "Oh,

364
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,559
we spoke last year. It was so good to

365
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:14,079
see you again.

366
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:16,240
my third pyon uh in Melbourne this time.

367
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:17,600
I was like it it keeps happening. I'm

368
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,559
recognizing people. People are starting

369
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,720
to remember me as well. So this story

370
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:26,240
comes to 2018.

371
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:29,280
I get to my fourth PON and I've walked

372
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:32,240
in the door and I've looked around and

373
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:35,440
I've sort of started spotting familiar

374
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,200
faces and I'm like, "Oh yeah, yeah,

375
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,039
yeah. Oh, some new faces, too. That's

376
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,960
great. More people I recogn." And and I

377
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:42,880
noticed the people that I had seen come

378
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,640
to park before, they all knew each

379
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,960
other. They were walking up and saying,

380
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,840
"Oh, so good to see you. It's been an

381
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,679
entire year." And and you know, I've

382
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,200
missed you. You're my friend. Like, you

383
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:54,480
know, I love that we see each other and

384
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,679
if only we could see each other more

385
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,480
often. And I thought to myself,

386
00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:03,039
isn't it amazing this community? And

387
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,320
like, I wish I was one of those people.

388
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:08,400
I wish I was as important as they are to

389
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,080
this community.

390
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,919
And then the conference director was

391
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,360
standing nearby and she I'd just seen

392
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:15,600
her having one of those conversations

393
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:18,799
with another, you know, regular attendee

394
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,559
and she looked up and she saw me and she

395
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:24,000
said,

396
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:26,960
"Oh, Pete, it's so good to see you. I'm

397
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,760
glad you're back. Come in for a hug."

398
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,760
And that's when I knew, "Oh, I'm one of

399
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,000
them.

400
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,320
These these are my people. I I have

401
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,640
found them." So So thank you very much,

402
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,640
Katie.

403
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,640
Um,

404
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:47,919
and if you have seen that happening

405
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:50,960
today, all it takes is coming back. You

406
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:54,760
should you should come back. And that's

407
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,760
that's my story.

408
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:04,640
Well,

409
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:06,640
that's that's that's it. That's it.

410
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,480
Although

411
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,720
there is one one thing that we haven't

412
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,120
come across yet.

413
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:21,679
Jack, do you want to come up on stage?

414
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:24,640
This is one we scripted earlier.

415
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:27,039
I have similar memories of prior pyons.

416
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,360
2017 I believe was the first time I got

417
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:31,840
on stage to speak

418
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:36,240
and my friend Katie

419
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:38,640
was there and said we're going to Sydney

420
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,440
and so at the end of 2017 we announced

421
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,480
the Sydney conference and at the end of

422
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:47,220
2019 Daisy got on stage and announced

423
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,559
we're headed to Adelaide

424
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:52,240
[Music]

425
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:54,559
and we did make it to Adelaide

426
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,559
eventually.

427
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,799
But since 2020,

428
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:03,039
for many of us and for PyCon AU, it has

429
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,720
felt like we're in a bit of survival

430
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:08,960
mode.

431
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:12,640
But this year back here at PyCon,

432
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:16,160
we are back with gusto.

433
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:19,520
And so I am ecstatic to share with you

434
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,840
two bits of news.

435
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,120
And the first

436
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:28,520
is that our beloved curly boy is getting

437
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:28,520
a glow up.

438
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:48,280
[Music]

439
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,990
And

440
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,760
[Music]

441
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:56,960
[Applause]

442
00:20:53,760 --> 00:21:01,760
And my friends, we are all headed

443
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:04,480
somewhere slightly warmer next year.

444
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,559
It's been fun organizing two conferences

445
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,640
at once.

446
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:10,799
But it means that I can stand on stage

447
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,440
today and share some plans with you for

448
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:15,520
2026.

449
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:20,200
The first of those plans is our

450
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,200
conference outline. Our

451
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:27,600
workshops will now be on the Wednesday

452
00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:30,240
and our three days of talks including

453
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:33,200
specialist tracks will be on Thursday,

454
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:36,880
Friday and Saturday

455
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,280
and sprints will return on Sunday.

456
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,080
Now of course

457
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,080
we've got almost a year to organize this

458
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,440
so more details about tracks and

459
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,159
conference will be forthcoming.

460
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,260
But all of that lead work means that you

461
00:21:50,159 --> 00:21:53,919
can register today.

462
00:21:52,260 --> 00:21:56,240

464

465
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:03,720
tickets for the full conference can be

466
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:03,720
purchased at 2026.org.au.

467
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,720
One-day tickets, student tickets,

468
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:13,360
workshops, and hopefully more will be

469
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,280
announced soon. So, make sure you're

I'll see you all there.

475
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:49,799
We're done.
