website code too harshly if you're
looking at that repo we were in a
hurry the bathrooms here in the expo

theater are gender neutral bathrooms
they are marked as all gender bathrooms
I believe uh if someone seems to be in
the wrong bathroom um go out your day

bathroom they feel is the right one for
them everybody understands their own
needs better than anybody else
understands their
needs uh those bathrooms contain
bathroom baskets full of little supplies

and pads deodorant toothbrushes Combs
tissues other rods and ends uh take what
you need leave enough for others it's
there for everybody to
share uh uh the conference Wi-Fi and I'm
going to talk really slowly so you have
enough time to scan the QR code if
that's what you would like to do uh the
Wi-Fi is called Pyon Au the P phrase is
ask a sponsor if you ask a sponsor for a
pass for the password to the Wi-Fi they
will be very happy to tell you and also
they'll be very happy to talk to you

people contain talks they're not quite
as big as this room this room has the
biggest stage the biggest audience the
biggest screen the speakers are all
about the same size most things are
bigger here

station that's outside it's a little bit
around the corner you'll find it if you
need it if you are a speaker and you
want to test that your laptop is going
to work with our setup uh the AV station
has a test station and there is also a
speakers Lounge next to AV if you need
somewhere to sit down and work on your
slides or rehearse your talk that's a
place you can do
that the other part of the conference
that isn't shown on the map is something
we call the hallway track uh the hallway
track is our nickname for all of the
conversations that happen in the
hallways things that are not part of a
talk um the hallway track is one of the
best parts of this and probably every
conference like talk to people while
you're here the the talks get recorded
but the people are in here
today other ways to talk to people
include our Discord there is a link in
your email uh the email that had your
ticket the QR code that you showed to
pick up your badge also has a link for
you to join the Discord um you will be
able to uh talk there organize things
there find out where everyone's going
for dinner and so on and so
forth when you are communicating with
people we have communication stickers um
they're out on the sticker table in the
Expo space uh if you want to show people
how you would like to communicate these
stickers you can put them on your badge
green circle to say I'm happy to talk

want to talk I'll come to you um the
stickers are peelable if you're feeling
different in the afternoon than you were
in the morning peel it off put a new one
on please respect people's communication
preferences something we do here is
birds of a feather sessions uh there's a
page on our website to explain them
there's a board at the registration desk
where you can write about them and a
entire channel on Discord birds of a
feather organizing for you to uh
organize these sessions so these are
small self-organized sessions for you to
just find like-minded people so that you
can meet each other and hang out um I
accidentally gate crashed a birds of a
feather session for people from
Queensland yesterday um I used to live
in Queensland so it was okay but uh it
was great it was just great meeting
people um but there are a lot of topics
if you want to meet queer people or
people in functional programming or sit
down with people and crochet or organize
to go out for a run together anything
really birds of AA sessions are a great
way to do it uh advertise them on the
Discord here's a couple of rules we have
to help encourage people to uh meet uh
we have the Pac-Man rule uh now when
people gather to have a conversation
there is a tendency for people to form a
circle right you've you've seen circles
I'm demonstrating anyway um but if you
form a circle what we encourage you to
instead do is leave a space in your
circle that's the Pac-Man's mouth that's
why we call it the Pac-Man Rule and
leaving that space
is so that anybody can come and join
your conversation leave that space to
show that everybody is welcome um and
you would love to talk to new people and
when that person joins your conversation
move around make a new uh make a new
space let more people in we want
everybody to be welcome we also have the
snowball rule every day meet as many new
people as the number of pons Au you've
been to if this is your first Pon Au
congratulations you did that REO desk
you are done um if you've been to many
Pon Au uh this is your encouragement to
go out and meet new people and find
bring people into the community we want
everyone to be part of this and we don't
want people who have been here a lot who
only talk to their friends that they
know from previous parans we would like
you to go and find new people say hi
welcome
them some
housekeeping uh lost and found if you
find something please let a volunteer
know if you lose something please ask a
volunteer if it's been found the uh
volunteers have brightly colored badges
in a blal color
um yeah should be easy to
identify uh now let's talk
T-shirts this is the last day of the
main part of the
conference please pick up your t-shirt
before morning tea uh that means if you
have ordered a T-shirt and you haven't
picked it up yet like go and do it now

Kendra's keynote it's morning tea and

nerow Christopher welcome it's me again
hi I'm here from the python software
Foundation uh we're the global vendor
neutral home of the Python programming
language and we're so pleased to be able
to support Pyon Au this year as a
platinum sponsor uh the python software
Foundation uh looks after the python
Community globally we maintain the
intellectual property rights for the
Python programming language and we uh
maintain governance so that uh our
language unlike many other languages out
there in the world uh works in the best
interest of the community and its users
rather than the people with the most
money we also do things like run the
packaging index so when you go pip
install something you actually get
something installed and you don't get a
a timeout or something like
that we fund events we run Pyon Us in
the US which is the largest global
Gathering of python developers and we
fund events all throughout the world
including uh Pyon Au and kiwi Pyon over
the
ditch uh and finally we're a
member-driven
organization so if you're a python
developer um if you contribute to an
open- source project or a community
group for more than 5 hours a month uh
you can join us as a contributing member
on our website if you uh if you're
willing to donate to the organization
our suggested donation is
$99 but we have a sliding scale where if
you uh can afford afford less you can
give less and we'll recognize you as a
supporting member uh so please check out
what the psf does and if you have any
questions about the python software
Foundation or how we can help your uh
