00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,279

Goodness me. [laughter]

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,879
Thank you everybody.

11
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,000
This was a spectacular Pyon AU 2026

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,330
because of you.

13
00:00:56,330 --> 00:00:58,160

no, no, no, no. Cut it.

16
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:10,080
Some very brief logistics. If you

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,240
organized a specialist track, please,

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,159

way up to the side. We have a thank you

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,799
gift for you. For everyone, we did find

22
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:22,560
extra stickers and we would love for you

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,880
to help us not have to take those home.

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880
We have enough luggage. They have been

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360
set out on the tables outside. Please

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,720
take some. And if you volunteered in any

volunteer office for a brief thank you

30
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,759
and a briefing afterwards. That's enough

31
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:44,159
housekeeping.

32
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,000
Congratulations, Bella. If you'd like to

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,159
make your way up along with Catrix, we

34
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,351
would love to give you a small prize.

[applause]

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
I'm really working up my step count

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,040
today.

39
00:02:10,346 --> 00:02:12,366

00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,879
puzzles throughout the conference, I

53
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,480

have been shared in the puzzles channel.

57
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:09,680
We're a little late on getting this one

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,239

59
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:14,480

00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,599
remotely. Uh there is a prize for each

61
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,440
puzzle that gets solved. We will draw

62
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,080
from the successful submissions and we

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040
will publish what the solves were after

the conference.

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,519
Can everyone give a huge round of

66
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:31,519
applause to our platinum sponsors

67
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:34,480
Snowflake and Twilio? [applause]

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680
And keep it going for our gold sponsors,

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Jet Brains, Chain Guard, and Meta. and

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,120
keep that round of applause rolling for

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,319
all of these fantastic sponsors for whom

72
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,252
we cannot run Pyon AU without.

73
00:03:49,252 --> 00:03:50,640
[applause]

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,720
Keep that going for the local Brisbane

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,920
City Council who helped us bring Pyon AU

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,959
North and to Linux Australia who give us

77
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:02,000
the legal and financial support to run

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,080
this conference for you. Thank you

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,280
everybody for your help.

80
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,799
We would love for your feedback. The

81
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:12,720
form will be updated tonight for the

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,120
correct day and we would very much

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,880
appreciate if you could take a moment to

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,280
share your reflections on what you loved

85
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:22,079
about the conference as well. I'd also

86
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,160
love it if you could take a moment to

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,479
extend that gratitude to any member of

88
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:29,040
the Sophetel staff or the AV partners

89
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,360
crew who've made your presenting or your

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,520
conference experience special. They have

91
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,400
been a phenomenal support.

92
00:04:37,723 --> 00:04:39,743
[applause]

93
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,080
For many of us, we are not quite done

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,000
yet. And the development sprints do

95
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,479
continue tomorrow in the Lyon room. They

96
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:50,800
will be open all day with catering and

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560
coffee.

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,400
And there are still seats available if

99
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,320
you'd like to join us to get hands-on

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,479
and contribute and learn with open

101
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:02,613
source. We can't wait to see you there.

102
00:05:02,613 --> 00:05:04,633
[applause]

103
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,199
Speaking of getting involved in open

104
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,600
source, it is absolutely critical that

105
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,039
we keep this momentum going. We are not

106
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:14,479
the only open source conference

107
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:16,240
happening in Brisbane over the next few

108
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
months and the everything open team have

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320
been here at the conference uh through

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
the last few days. Please uh take a

111
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
moment to check out everything open. We

112
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,520
have also welcomed our friends from

113
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,199
across the Tasman from Python New

114
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,600
Zealand. And I hear there is a Kiwi Pyon

115
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,280
on the horizon as well next year.

116
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Much like we have welcomed them to our

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,479
shores this year, they have graciously

118
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:44,639
invited us across to New Zealand next

119
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:47,039
year. And I for one can't wait to see

120
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:50,428
all of you there as well.

121
00:05:50,428 --> 00:05:50,479
[snorts]

122
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:52,880
and Pyon AU

123
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,160
desperately wants your support as well.

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,720
The best way to get in uh to keep up to

125
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,080
date with all of the news for these

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,759
organizations is their respective

127
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:03,680
mailing lists where news and

128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,919
announcements will be shared when those

129
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:08,960
teams are ready.

130
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,560
But it's not just waiting for a

131
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,080
significant conference to occur.

132
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,720
All of you have traveled from across the

133
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
world to be here and we want you to go

134
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,360
home and share those stories with your

135
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,360
local communities.

136
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
This year the Brisbane Python community

137
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,680
has rebooted and it's been phenomenal to

138
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
see them grow. And there are communities

139
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,160
for Python and our related ecosystems

140
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,759
around the country that need your

141
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:36,479
support whether it be to attend, to

142
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:40,080
speak, or to organize.

143
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Take a moment to think how you can

144
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,319
contribute back after enjoying such a

145
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:47,800
phenomenal event.

146
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:50,160
Several years ago

147
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,880
on the closing stage at PYON AU, a good

148
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
friend of mine stood up and said that

149
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,759
Pyon AU is run by the people that show

150
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,000
up.

151
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
What I've witnessed here from all of you

152
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:05,120
makes me want to add to that because PE

153
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,199
PYON AU is defined by the people here in

154
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,000
this room. You have made this conference

155
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,560
special. There have been so many birds

156
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,800
of a feather sessions, so many

157
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,440
exhibitors and vendors in the ecosystem

158
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,560
for us to work with. So many fantastic

159
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,240
talks and so many fantastic volunteers.

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,000
Each and every one of you have made this

161
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,520
conference experience something

162
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,919
genuinely special and it has been my

163
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,400
absolute pleasure to have been just a

164
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,720
small part of that.

165
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,840
My Poneru journey started a decade ago

166
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,000
and over that time it has been an

167
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,759
absolute joy to be a part of many

168
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,400
different teams behind the scenes and

169
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,880
occasionally on stage.

170
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,919
But after a decade it is definitely time

171
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:55,039
for me to join you in the front row next

172
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:57,520
year.

173
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:01,039
There are a handful of people that have

174
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:04,800
helped make this Oh. Um, can I ask one

175
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,039
more favor of our video crew? Can we get

176
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:13,220
that expanded slide? There we go.

177
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:15,240
[applause]

178
00:08:20,425 --> 00:08:22,445
[applause]

179
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:26,960
Woo.

180
00:08:29,595 --> 00:08:31,615
[applause]

181
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,399
PYONU 2026 has been 2 years in the

182
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,640
making and over that time we've had some

183
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,320
phenomenal support from several

184
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800
organizations as well.

185
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,560
To the local team here on the ground

186
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,360
with AV partners, Brendan, your team has

187
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,720
been phenomenal. Your flexibility and

188
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,760
your precision has been absolutely

189
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,440

00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,720
never seen a Pyonu organizing committee

193
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120
had such a backing from the venue like

194
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,120
you. Thank you

195
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,360

00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,279
to life.

198
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:27,680
You take our crazy ideas and you enable

199
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,120
them and then you don't stop.

00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Thank you.

has been incredible.

207
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:56,080
You have kept this chaotic train on its

208
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800
tracks, held me accountable to its

209
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,839
chaos, and applied the brakes when

210
00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:04,080
necessary.

211
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,839
And I know how much our speakers

212
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:08,480

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,720

00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,360
his work. And this year, more than many

217
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,000
years, I believe Ryan deserves that

218
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,480

00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,160
blood, more tears, more heart into this

378
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,280
conference than Jack Skinner.

379
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,400
Jack, we all owe you an an incredibly

380
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,360
large thanks. Um, I know I've spoken to

381
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,360
people around the conference who who

382
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:54,640
have appreciated every single small

383
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,200
touch, every piece of care, every time

384
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,160
you called me and said, "Nick, I want to

385
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000
do this. I think it's a great idea." And

386
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,160
I said, "Jack, [laughter]

387
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,520
are you sure that's that's nuts? That's

388
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,000
never going to work. You like in the

389
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,880
middle of a conference?" Really?

390
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,120
And you did it. And you nailed it.

391
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:23,293
Can I get a round of applause for you?

392
00:19:23,293 --> 00:19:25,313
[applause]

393
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:34,483

395
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,320
One of

396
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,760
one of the things about running a

397
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,880
conference like Pyon AU is that it takes

398
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,240
it every yes is a no.

399
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,799
And those of you who know Jack know just

400
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,760
how much he enjoys flying, just how much

401
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000
he enjoys traveling.

402
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,559
And so as a literally small token of our

403
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,833
appreciation for you, Jack,

404
