And since it was published, lots of amazing things happened (or will happen), and I want to use this opportunity to shout out things of interest.

EuroPython (a European travelling Python conference) is on right now, they were here last year and if you are not able to go to Prague, you can view their livestream (today till Friday 21st Jul) for free at https://ep2023.europython.eu/live (click on dropdowns for the different tracks, and scrub back on the video to (re)watch past talks).
