Warning: If you know, you know… 😄

Community pyOpenSci joke… when notifications start rolling in, and suddenly GitHub starts to blow up… you know something good is happening.

That “GitHub blowing up” energy? That’s the heart of what we do. The heart of mentorship. People working together, in real time, figuring things out side by side. It’s what we do—1:1, collaborative, iterative.

Many apologies for all the updates coming your way during this year’s #PyConUS conference! #MaintainersSummit

🎤 Two speakers, one talk:

Holden Karau and Devin Petersohn are presenting "Building Compatible Systems: When You Don't Own Your APIs" at the Maintainers Summit on May 16.

Learn about what it means to build portable systems, how to collaborate with upstream and avoid the "us v.s. them" mentality and work together more effectively.

🕥 1:50 PM, Saturday, May 16, Room 201A

🎤 Speaker spotlight: Mike Fiedler

"And Now for Something Completely Legitimate" 1:30 PM, May 16

Mike works on PyPI safety & security. The title is a wink to Monty Python, and the topic is dead serious: keeping the packages that Pythonistas install every day safe and trustworthy.

If you publish to PyPI, depend on it, or worry about supply-chain risk, don’t miss this important conversation.

🎤 Speaker spotlight: Evan Kohilas

"Excited Developer Syndrome" 10:55 AM, May 16

What does good contributor onboarding look like in the age of AI-assisted development? How do we channel contributor energy into work that actually moves projects forward? Evan has some thoughtful takes.

At 11:15 on May 16, the Maintainers Summit gets into one of the conversations every OSS project is having right now: GenAI in Open Source — Tool, Threat, or Turning Point?

It's a Birds of a Feather session, so it's *your* conversation. Bring your wins, your concerns, and your hopes.
