Pycon US

But then we were also thinking about like the supply chain aspect of it, right? Where we're one of the first adopters of trusted publishing.

Like I remember implementing it as it was being announced during like the morning keynote, I think at PyCon US like 2023 or something like that.

All right.

So like that's the kind of stuff we were doing.

I guess, where are we, if we can make a synopsis of like, okay, well, what's happening with security and Python right now in this age of LLMs and potential exploits being found through these tools?

Yeah, so where we are is I would say we're still experiencing more volume.

The number that I gave for PyCon US, which was back in May, was the volume we were experiencing was about 3 to 4x what it was a year ago in terms of number of vulnerability reports that we're receiving to the Python security response team.

and i think we're still kind of around there it's tough to say because it kind of ebbs and flows and so you don't really know how bad it is until you have a really bad month and you're like oh that was a lot and then you have like a really quiet month and you kind of like cross your fingers a little bit but it's maybe the the wave is receding

Yeah, I've been to the two sort of big Django conferences, so DjangoCon Europe in Athens, Greece, and then, uh, in DjangoCon US in Chicago, uh, earlier in, in August.

And then I went to, uh, PyCon US over Long Beach as well.

Those were my sort of three, three big events, and yeah, seen one or either of you at, at every single one of them.

That's right.

um was this time it was a slightly more renowned commodity and so um actually we we had a capacity limit we were we were we weren't sold out because we didn't sell anything but um it was free to attend but the tickets were sold out a lot more over a month in advance so that's really that's really nice

Well, it's so, um, I feel like a, a grandparent seeing you and Paolo spend all this, you know, this idea, the glint in the eye of what if we had, you know, Paolo has been talking about this for years and years and then, um, and you've done your part, but I've seen Paolo in person at PyCon US, EuroPython, DjangoCon US.

He's, you know, relentless with letting people know about this.

So, um, That's exciting.

We'll skip over some spicy takes, you know, I'll just say glad we're not the Rails community.

Let's leave it at that.

So DjangoCon US in Chicago, that was last month.

Great.
