00:01
Ok, it's that time of day again. Unfortunately, this conference is coming to an end. So, right. A bit louder, please. Better, thank you. But, of course, we still have the sprints, so you are all invited to stay for the sprints.
00:28
Because we did this poll for the catering for the sprints and we found that only very few people actually submitted something and we actually have food for 250 people on Saturday and for 200 people on Sunday, if you don't have a pass, you can just come.
00:46
So, a bit of statistics about the conference. We had 1100 attendees at the conference, which is amazing, from more than 40 countries. We had an amazing 33 sponsors this time, which is a lot more than we used to have.
01:02
We have more than 600 people on the Telegram channel, which is also amazing, because last time we had around 400. I'd like to have you all thank the sponsors, because, like I said in the opening, without the sponsors, this wouldn't happen.
01:27
And I hope you all enjoyed this escape room that Smark has installed here and all the other nice booths and the gadgets that you got off the booths. So, I'm repeating myself, but I think it's very important to recognize
01:41
the work that volunteers are doing. And so, I'd like to call up all the volunteers on the stage.
02:58
I especially want to thank our on-site volunteers, Francesco, Noah, and Reiko.
03:04
Noah is there. Where's Francesco? Noah is here. I don't know where Reiko is. Anyway, thank you very much for helping on-site
03:21
and have basically, I mean, you wanted to attend the conference, right? And I think you helped more than you actually attended any talks. So, this is amazing. Thank you. So, we had a very small team this year to do everything.
03:44
We need to do a little better next year. So, we're asking for help for next year. So, if you want to help us run the conference next year, wherever it will be, we don't know yet. We have plenty of work waiting for you. So, if you do want to sign up, please go to the URL down there,
04:01
our website, work groups, and sign up. And then we can add you to the work groups, and then we can teach you how everything works in the work groups, and then you can enjoy being on the stage as well. So, some reporting we have to do. Code of conduct, as we always do.
04:20
This year we had two issues, but those issues were fortunately very minor. They happened on the Telegram chat. It was essentially inappropriate language for one incident. For the other incident, it was a recruiting message that we don't support on the channel. And this was essentially it. This is everything, this is all that.
04:42
Actually, these were not reported to us. We found them ourselves. So, I think you have behaved well, and I would like to thank you for that.
05:00
Right, a little word about Europrise and Society because we have the General Assembly here. We would like to thank the previous board who basically made this event happen. So, these are the people from the, well, now previous board, but these people made everything happen. So, if you want to come up to the stage,
05:21
those people who are still here from that previous board. So, giving a big hand.
05:51
And so now we have a new board, which is these people. So, I'd like the new board to be on the stage as well. And give them a big hand
06:01
because otherwise the next event is not going to be as nice.
06:25
And now I'd like to pass over to Alexander, who is the chair of the program work group. He has a few things to say. Yeah, actually, I just want to make some points on how the program process works. You know, we have a call for proposals.
06:40
We have the user voting, and I want to clear up some stuff I heard on the conference and make some clarification. So, if they call for proposals, which is clear, we have the user voting. So, user voting is not deciding on the program. It's asking for preferences. It helps us a lot on making this great program. So, if you are highly voted, you're most likely in the program.
07:03
So, basically, a broken program is working a lot on review and equality. And there was some stuff somebody told, said on the conference, if you make a good title, you basically make the pass the voting. I tested it.
07:21
I tested this submission because this was like the most hype words I could come up with. Yeah, quantum artificial intelligence on the block secure blockchain. And actually, there was some discussion going on on Twitter. I don't really believe this guy actually yet. This was fake. You were right.
07:42
And I was really happy to see this got not really well on the voting. So, it's not all about the title and the hype. People do read abstracts. Though there's one call I really want to make for the next year Python conference. And you have one year already or like maybe seven, eight months to think about to come up with something
08:00
because we are very beginners friendly. And I'm very, very proud of this. We have beginners day. We have the jungle workshop for women. We always take care. We are very inclusive and beginners. But there's one thing we should not forget. And this is like from last year's statistics. We asked, how many years of Python do you have? And more like 60% have more than four years of Python experience.
08:23
So, this is not a beginner's only conference. We have to think about it. And on the right-hand side, you see the submissions we received by year. And it's nice for the beginners and only the immediate. But you see like there's a drop in advanced topics. And we have many experienced people here. And I just want to make a call.
08:41
Please do submit more advanced talks as well because we have to be inclusive to really advance Python as well. And that's actually all I wanted to call out. And we have seven months to think about something really advanced. And thank you very much.
09:04
So, there's nothing much more to say. We loved having you. We want to have you again next year. And we wish you a safe trip home. And enjoy the sprints. Enjoy the sightseeing if you can in Edinburgh. And please spread the word.
09:21
Thank you.
