Both me and @davemorin tried to talk sense into Anthropic, best we managed was delaying this for a week. Funny how timings match up, first they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source.

You just have to immerse yourself in it. You should just constantly be building. That's what's going to give you the best chance of having the relevant skill set that is needed to make a difference in technology.

Nicolas Sauvage, president of TDK Ventures, will explain the unique operations of corporate VCs and what founders should know about attracting investment.

The Scala Days 2026 conference will take place 12 - 13 October in Berlin, Germany, known for its strong culture of collaboration and its growing role in advancing digital sovereignty through open technologies.

I had been following the EuroPython community since 2024 and what stood out for me was how inclusive it was. This was open not only to people from the EU but worldwide. I saw people from Africa getting the stage to speak and even the opportunity grants were there for everyone. I told myself wow! I should be part of this community. All I can say I will still choose EuroPython over and over.

In just 3 days, the best deal at the lowest ticket prices for TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 disappear. With demand already surging and early inventory moving fast, this is the final window to lock in record-low pricing and secure a plus-one for half the price while limited passes remain. If Disrupt has been on your must-attend list, now is the time to save up to $680 on your pass and bring a plus-one at 50% off.

Prerequisites This guide is for all Python users who want to grow their Python knowledge, get involved with the Python community, or explore new professional opportunities. Your level of experience with Python doesn't matter, and neither does whether you use Python professionally or as a hobbyist-regularly or only from time to time. If you use Python, you're a Python developer, and Python conferences are for Python developers!

For twenty years, QCon has tracked the industry's major inflections. As the conference marks its 20th anniversary with its 2026 events, the editorial stance remains consistent: sessions are curated by senior engineers, focusing on what has actually worked (and failed) in production. The upcoming programs for QCon London (March 16-19) and QCon San Francisco (November 16-20) apply this lens to a new set of compounding decisions: moving AI from experiment to reliable production and validating the ROI of platform engineering.

Join us on March 4th 2026, for an unforgettable, non-stop event, streamed from our studio in Amsterdam. We'll be joined live by 15 well-known and beloved speakers from Python communities around the globe, including Carol Willing, Deb Nicholson, Sheena O'Connell, Paul Everitt, Marlene Mhangami, and Carlton Gibson. They'll be speaking about topics such as core Python, AI, community, web development and data science.

That model no longer fits how tech leaders work today. Over the past years, I have spent time in conversations with founders, executives, and operators who carry real responsibility inside their organizations. As a community builder, I often speak with them before they commit to attending events. Their questions are direct. They want to know who will be in the room, how discussions are structured, and whether the environment allows honest exchange.

In 2024, when I took on the role of chair, the D&I Work Group was at a crossroads. The PSF Board had created it to amplify the Foundation's mission, and there was genuine interest from the community, but without a clear direction or structure, momentum had faded. People wanted to join, but they didn't know what the group would actually do. I knew we needed two things: a clear purpose and genuine diversity in our membership.

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce the introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program. This new program is designed as an "in-kind" way for us to support Python events and initiatives with non-financial assistance through the use of the PSF logo and name, as well as promotional support via sharing qualified posts on PSF official social media accounts.
