Sign up to Python Language Summit is still open for about 3 more weeks. So far we received 32 sign ups, from 18 different regions, and 12 time zones to work with.
We've only received 3 topics of discussions, and we definitely need more of those. If you have a topic to be discussed with Python core developers, please fill in the forms linked in Łukasz's post. I've made some infographics with these data, I will try to update it once a day: https://mariatta.ca/language_summit_data/ We also have a page on PyCon US's website now: https://us.pycon.org/2021/summits/language/ Thanks.
