April 2023 Summaries

In 2020, EdgeDB asked Python community members to contribute to a unique vinyl record project, with musical contributions from various Pythonistas. The album was planned to be auctioned off at PyCon US 2020 in support of PyLadies. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many events were canceled or transitioned online, but some plans have been rescheduled and are now being fulfilled. This year's PyLadies Auction will feature this one-of-a-kind vinyl record, which includes tracks from well-known Python community members such as David Beazley, Nicholas Tollervey, Brandon Rhodes, Lynn Root, and others. The album is a unique snapshot of the Python community at that time and supports a worthy cause in PyLadies.

In 2020, prior to the disruptions caused by COVID-19, EdgeDB initiated a unique project inviting members of the Python community to create a vinyl record with musical contributions from Python enthusiasts, intended for auction at PyCon US 2020 to benefit PyLadies. The event was postponed due to the pandemic but is now set to occur in Salt Lake City during this year's PyLadies Auction. The record features tracks by prominent Pythonists performing a variety of songs, each demonstrating a blend of technical and musical skill. PyLadies, an international mentorship group supporting underrepresented genders in tech, is the beneficiary of the auction. The record, which includes digital files and is a one-of-a-kind collector's item, represents a collaborative and creative effort from the Python community, aiming to raise funds for a good cause while celebrating the spirit of collaboration and creativity within the tech community.
