Do I need to sign up if I’m a Python core developer?
Yes please! While in the past we have limited attendance to 50 people, this
time, due to virtual format, we will be a bit more flexible, but will still
keep it small and manageable. We aren’t planning to go beyond 80 participants.
Please register to reserve your space.
Can I sign up if I’m not a Python core developer?
Yes you can. In the past, we had quite a number of participants who were not
Python core devs. Among them were maintainers and representatives from BeeWare,
CircuitPython, PSF board member, PyCharm, PyPA, etc. Register if you want to
participate. Note that until you hear back from us, your attendance is not
confirmed. As explained in the question above, our “space” is more flexible
than usual, but in the interest of maintaining a vigorous discussion space, we
might still be unable to invite everyone who signs up.
What kind of topics are covered?
Python Language Summit is a special event with very specific audience: Python
core developers. Ideally your topic is not an “announcement” or “project
status” but rather something that will encourage further discussion and
questions. The more controversial, the better. An open issue, group of issues,
or a PEP that is awaiting decision are all good topics to propose. You can also
further explain why this is better discussed in person instead of online.
According to last year’s feedback, our audience prefer more discussions and
shorter talks.
Who can present a talk?
Anyone, even if you’re not a Python core developer. However, please understand
that we will have to be selective as space and time are limited. In particular,
we are prioritizing active core contributors, as well as those who we believe
will be able to improve the quality of the discussions at the event and bring a
more diverse perspective to core Python developers. Note that your topic is not
confirmed until you hear back from us.
