🐍🏃➡️ Yesterday was the start of the #Python #CoreDevSprint! We worked on a wide range of topics, and held many discussions that just don't happen when we're all remote and async.
I opened 7 PRs, updated 2, reviewed 10, merged 3, closed 1 issue. As release manager, discussed with @brettcannon one of his projects after lockfiles, and with @freakboy3742, @Yhg1s, @ambv & Ned D ideas about mobile releases which wandered into ideas about security releases
