Closing Session

Speaker 1 [01:15]

Oh, wow. Time flies, right? Three days. And actually, one thing that happened, the conference kept on going, going, because we said we didn't really announce a new record in the opening like we used to do. But actually, people kept just flying in also remotely. And now we actually We have more than 200,000 participants, which is like really cool. And I think, I mean, in the opening, I said, when things change fast, people will help each other have the advantage. And I think just looking around, talking to people, this was just like the proof it works. There were so many helpful people all over the place. And I also had people who come from totally different backgrounds visiting the conference that this is so amazing. And how do you do this? We as a team do this. We also learned we still have things to do. So I want to cite Aaron this morning in his keynote. We have to also fix the narrative about open source, us being nerds. And bring out the more like to be better at communicating which value our culture but also good software engineering brings for companies and also which extra value we bring to the table with open source for the society. Yeah. Keep that in mind. And now it's time to celebrate. The team. Right? Let's see, how do you like the program? Oh, please, program team, come forward. People from the program team. How did you like our keynotes? And also, I mean, you never think there's no new ways or you can reinvent culture, torture, sorry. How do you like the lightning talks? And, of course, we would also like to thank our sponsors.

Speaker 2 [04:10]

Yeah, we really do want to thank our Keystone sponsor, Merck, for their great support, and I hope you enjoyed their talk and their booth. We also thank our Platinum sponsors, which also had really nice talks in the booth, and we thank our Gold sponsors, and I want to mention that I talked to all of them, and they all said, like, the audience was just great, like, super friendly and super deep talk at the booth. So it's thanks to you as well. Let's have a round of applause to you. And of course, we thank our institutional sponsors, because without their backup, this wouldn't be possible. We thank our diversity sponsors, of course. And we thank our community sponsors for their support. Thank you.

Speaker 1 [05:07]

And also, this year we also thought, okay, times are changing, let's bring new topics to the table and bring outside perspectives in, and, I mean, it's always really easy to stay in routines and feel safe, but I'm more than happy we took a leap of faith, worked with Hash and AI, Simon, Kalina, we created the start-up lounge, we had a start-up and investors panel, and this is something, actually, to be honest, you don't know if anybody will show up, and it was pretty busy, and also we had just today the panel on open source as a business which was also like really many people here in the room so i i think this is was really worth uh i'm really happy and i'm i'm so happy we we start building new bridges and bring a better understanding also from for other perspectives here um and basically also clear hypes and cliches about that we also have the future of learning just a few minutes ago um so what should we learn in the future this was also like a great initiative from paula and And Christian, and Christian, Paula is unfortunately sick, but I know you're watching the stream. Hi, Paula. Can we all say get well soon, Paula? Yeah. How did you like the video app, TalkSpyCon? Yeah. Yeah, we're a video. Yeah, we did it, yes. These are like the people who actually operate it, if the signal drops, basically are always on high alert and fix it, and it's really awesome, and I also like session sharing myself. I really love, like, okay, now we have questions directly, and thank you so much. So and who really keeps a lot of things afloat, volunteers, T-shirts, badges, the on-site team, committee and the volunteers. And, of course, we also have a report from the Code of Conduct Committee.

Speaker 3 [07:49]

Thank you. So, yeah, we received one report during the conference. The Code of Conduct team, we as a committee, reviewed the report, took appropriate action in line to our procedures. We are very committed to make this conference welcoming and open for everyone to participate, so everyone feels good to be here. So we thank you for your contribution to that goal. And yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 [08:30]

And also, diversity for us is really important, so please, a big applause for the diversity committee. And... And... I don't want to go into details, but we booked hotels, and there were some hiccups with booking platforms. I don't want to say the name booking. And we had to solve a lot of things, and thanks for just being there, helping people out and taking care of each other for each other. Thank you all so much. And of course, Jungle Girls. And PyLadies. Then, of course, I think that we have one angle bringing other perspectives in, and I think it's also, like, really great to have a space where just, like, very different ideas Let's try things out and have like feminist AI here.

So now, fun with flags. We have flags outside. And in the closing session, we give them away. So can you please display our merchandise? No, we're not ruffling. It's first come, first serve. Yeah, it's always improvised. A little improvisation in the closing session as well. So let me present flag number one. And it's worst come, first serve. You can have, like, an original PyCon flag in blue. Any takers? No? Oh, yes. First taker. Woo! And we have even more. more. Hi, ladies. Do you want to keep? Hi, ladies. All right.

We're really like so supportive fathers like making this operation happening because we like the volunteers We often come up with new ideas and they were always like super supportive. So if you're in the room that Dean Nicole Girl catering. Thank you so much for your support. We also want to get and the great food, of course. Well For us it's doing good communication and being more present outside in the world is very important. So I'm really happy we had Marvin and Arif supporting us with great photos. Where's Marvin? There, over there. So, are we done? No, we're not done because we still have to thank all the volunteers the volunteers who joined in. Is everybody on stage?

Thank you. Thank you. So, what's next? It's happening now. So, you can probably guess we gave away the flags. If you remember last year, we didn't, because we reused the flags and a lot of the stuff from last year, because it's more sustainable. So, goodbye! And also happy we have the dates already. So save the date, where is Andy? We need the time machine, yes, no, sorry, where is Andy and then Laura?
