I could be wrong, I know something like color preference is very subjective. Maybe if you get a lot of negative feedback, color could be voted on next year.? Maybe it already was and I just don't know about it in which case I'm wasting our time.? :) Regardless, I'm happy to be here.? Thanks for all the work you all put into making it happen. *Randy Syring* Chief Executive Developer Direct: 502.276.0459 Office: 812.285.8766 Level 12 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are times when I cannot sit. I have a herniated disk in my back, and standing alleviates pain associated with that problem. Please consider accommodating these kinds of disabilities in the future.

PyCon itself was fantastic, but I preordered $40 worth of t-shirts (which apparently were all gone by Sunday) and now these vouchers are the only PyCon swag I have to remember the conference. I don?t totally mind an unplanned donation to PSF, I do support you guys. But are there any t-shirts, any swag, or something else I can remember PyCon by?

This was my first PyCon and overall, it went quite well. However, I just wanted to let you know that on my first day at PyCon (Thursday), I felt some prejudice at several booths in the Expo Hall. On a couple of occasions, I was having conversations with reps at the booth and they would ask me "are you a developer?", "do you know Python?". I got the sense that they assumed I wasn't technical because I'm female. This was pretty disheartening because I've been using Python for years and have worked as a software developer in a senior role for quite some time. They didn't question my male friend's technical knowledge who was standing beside me. At one particular booth, my friend and I were inquiring about job opportunities. She was very happy to give my male friend her business card to connect further. When I asked about their data science roles, she told me that they are only looking for people with several years of experience and said that I wouldn't be a good fit. It's unfortunate that she assumed I didn't have enough experience (perhaps she assumed I was a recent undergrad graduate?) even though I've been out of school and working as a dev/data scientist for 7 years. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about my experience at these booths because it's a very discouraging feeling for first timer attendees. I know this type of prejudice is a general issue in tech, but I was certainly reminded that I'm a female minority when I was at the booths. I'm not sure if there's a solution. I do hope that some day females can be treated as competent technical people in this industry. Regards, Jill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
