#pyconau

1 post1 participant0 posts today

ironically, I got covid right before I was due to keynote one of the safest, most inclusive conferences I've ever seen, #PyconAU, so I had to present online to keep everyone safe. I've seen photos of everyone peacefully masking, and - guess what?? It was fine! It was safe! It's not that hard.

The day after #PyConAU and I'm nowhere near as exhausted as I expected to be, given that I basically had no weekend.

It was uplifting once I finally managed to get my meatbrain into the right space on Saturday. This is the first conference I've been to in years and I forgot how to prepare for one mentally.

It was lovely to put a half face to many of you that I've known here for ages. (I will forget them, I'm sorry, because I have prosopagnosia.)

If I didn't meet you, or you weren't able to meet me, maybe next time. I'm pretty sure there will be a next time. I went home and told my partner that I'd consider (venue withstanding) getting involved in PyCon AU in an organizational capacity, and she triumphantly declared she'd already predicted that. I feel seen.
