What are your favorite "how to PyCon" posts/threads/discussions you link folks new #PyConUS attendees to?

Last year I shared posts by me, Sumana Harihareswara , Al Sweigart, Jeff Triplett, and Glyph Lefkowitz.

What are your favorite posts? Also feel free to share your own! 😊

Mastodon overtook Twitter on the #PyConUS hashtag during PyCon 2024.

Which social media network do you think will be the most popular on that hashtag during PyCon US 2025?

Are there any #PyConUS attendees who are local to #Pittsburgh who can direct me to options for e-bike rentals for the duration of the conference? I don't want the docked bike shares, I want something where I can have a bike that I store where I'm staying and ride to the conference, and an e-bike because I don't want to be a sweaty mess from the hills.

@ThePSF So … You are asking attendees to self-assess the "travel conditions" without providing additional context to people who may not actively engage in day-to-day US politics?

Worse yet, you say it's "more important than ever to connect with our fellow community members" without offering any viable alternatives e.g. by having live streams available for at-risk folks—or those unfit/uncomfortable travelling to begin with.

This is a slap in the face to your fellow community members. #pyconUS

I really appreciate the PSF publishing this, but perhaps we should be in more of a … shall we say "proactively defensive stance" with respect to our international #PyConUS attendees, and organizing a volunteer group that is tracking every international visitor and physically confirming their safe arrival and exit from the threat of CBP airport detention
