PyCon and Perl & Raku conferences this year in North America
Perl: The Perl and Raku Conference 2020 will be in Houston, Texas, USA, June 23-27. (Call for talk proposals open till January 27.) I don't know much about this conference but figured I should mention it!
Python: PyCon North America, mid-April in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (I will be at this) goes April 15-23:
PyCon offers financial assistance to people who would like to attend (deadline for requesting financial assistance is 31 January). I have successfully requested financial aid in the past. It's a good process.
Registration starts at the student/academic rate: $125 per person.
Conference hotel rates: $164-$180/night, plus taxes/fees (about ~14% taxes/fees, so, $187-$205/night). There is a hotel room sharing page on the PyCon site.
PyCon loves to cross-pollinate with other free and open source movements, and I know there are many Python developers in Dreamwidth tech. If Dreamwidth folks want to use the April 20-23 in-person sprints to work on Dreamwidth-related Python tools together, that would be cool!
