Sessions
As a community organizer, I have had the privilege of being a part of the Python community for the past ten years.
In that time, I have seen the community grow and evolve in countless ways. Python evolved from a top 10 language to the top 1 language. Many new people joined the community, new topics as data & AI became part of Python. I'm super proud the preferred language to learn is Python nowadays.
I have also learned a great deal about what it takes to be an effective organizer and how to build and sustain a healthy community. I also experience how not to do it and pulling through in hard times.
I learned a lot about leadership. I learned a lot about myself, my strength and my weaknesses.
This helped me also to grow professionally and had a very positive impact on how I work and lead in my day-job as partner in a data and AI consultancy.
