PyCon US 2017 is running in Portland, Oregon from May 17 - 25, and it's bound to be another amazing conference.

We'll be at WOOTConf 2017!

Katie will be organizing WOOTConf 2017, which will happen on January 16, 2017!

Katie is an organizer of WOOTConf - Women Of Open Technology - a miniconf dedicated to allowing those who identify as women to share their knowledge in relation to the future of open source in Australia in beyond.

Please come say hello, they'd love to meet you. They're looking forward to seeing you there!

Money, Money, Money

At PyCon AU 2015, and again at DjangoCon US 2015, I gave a talk entitled "Money Money Money: Writing software, in a rich (wo)man's world". The talk was a summary of the issues around one of the biggest problems that I see facing the open source community: how to provide the resources that are needed to develop and maintain the software that we, as a community depend upon. This means providing maintenance and support for established projects, large and small; but also providing an ecosystem where new ideas can be incubated, developed and matured until they present compelling alternatives or significant benefits over closed source offerings.
