The vast majority of events (talks, hacking sessions, open discussions) are held inside “developer rooms” (“devrooms”), which are mini-conferences organized and managed by open source projects themselves.
It’s also FREE !! 🥳

Actually going this year. Have wanted to for many. Really looking forward to it.
Which talks are y’all looking forward to?
Quite a few! And so many overlap! Thankfully they’re all supposed to be live streamed and recorded. An excerpt of my personal schedule:

This is just Saturday…
Will they finally be uploading their talks to peertube? Or will I need to use YouTube again?
Hoping this tool lives up to its own hype:
PyInfra—where your infrastructure is actually code. Real Python. With loops that don’t require learning a DSL. With functions that are… wait for it… actual functions. With error handling that doesn’t involve praying to the YAML gods

Performance:

Given the quality of your average Python code this sounds like a terrible idea.
Compare it to your average clickops delpoyment, ansible, tf, or crossplane though
