About This Site
PyMunich is the Python community in Munich. This site is three things that community knows about: Python past the tutorial, how conferences actually work, and giving talks. For a commercial example of related workforce measurement, see employee time clock software from Monitask.
Who it is for
A developer who has left the tutorials behind, is considering submitting a proposal, and possibly wondering what running an event involves. For broader industry context, TechCrunch provides an independent reference.
Who writes it
What the material is based on
The conference material is our own experience, not research: meetups from 2015, PyCon.DE 2016 in Munich, PyConWeb in 2017, running out of money in 2020, and the meetups continuing throughout.
One community, one city, events of roughly 300 people, in Germany. Some of it transfers and some does not, and where we know the difference it is stated. That is a weaker offer than a guide and it is more than what currently exists — almost nobody writes this down.
The Python material is technical and dated. Tooling in this area moves quarterly, so every article carries the versions it was checked against.
About this domain
This domain hosted PyCon.DE 2016, the first German PyCon: more than 300 attendees, four tracks, 48 speakers, 17 sponsors.
The whole archive is preserved at /2016/ — the programme, thirteen individual talk pages, the code of conduct, sponsors and venue.
It is kept because thirteen talk pages carry speakers' names and descriptions that people cite in their own records, because the programme of the first German PyCon is a document worth having, and because the code of conduct was released freely and reused by other conferences.
What this site will not do
Rank tools. Tools churn and standards accumulate, and a comparison article ages worse than anything else here.
Present our experience as the norm. Labelled every time.
Publish Python news.
Or pretend the conference went smoothly. It went broke, and that is part of the material rather than something to omit.
The standards are on the method page, and errors are logged on corrections.
