blog post: pyOpenSci at PyCon

[kierisi]

This is a first pass at the pyOS guide to PyCon post. I figured it would be better to have our current list up and posted, and then we can add to it as we get more information.

htmlproofer is failing due to the blog post link not existing yet, but otherwise everything should be ready for review!

@lwasser I'm stuck on a codespell error that I have no idea how to fix. in the packaging summit, I have "Mr. Batchelder" because codespell won't let me use Ned's name (it wants me to use Need). is there a way to go about making a commit, even if codespell is unhappy?

ahhhhh great question. i thought we had a ignore words file but apparently we don't!

i think we should follow the instructions here

https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell?tab=readme-ov-file#using-a-config-file

i'd copy what is setup in our packaging guide:

1. create a pyproject.toml file
2. add a section like below to it.
3. create a text file - codespell-ignore.txt (what you name it is less important that it being properly spelled in the toml file!
4. add ned's name and any other names that you want to the ignore file so it doesn't do that again!

[tool.codespell]
ignore-words = "codespell-ignore.txt"
skip = "./.git,./.nox,./_static,./_build,codespell-ignore.txt,*.svg"

let me know how this goes!!

also - if you are ever super annoyed / stuck and want to push exactly the text that you need in the blog post and don't know how to fix it locally - you can use:

git commit -m "message here" --no-verify

no verify as a flag will skip pre commit hooks altogether so you can atleast make the changes that you want and then ask in the pr or on slack or wherever it makes the most sense to ask - why is it blocking me from doing x.

[lwasser]

pre-commit can be so tricky. i'd just fix this locally and use --no-verify to get it online! then you can add the codespell ignore stuff either in this PR or in a separate one. whatever you prefer :) but let's call Ned - Ned.

this reminds me of when i read the times or WSJ - they always refer to people like mr musk and it always makes me chuckle. i don't know why however . 😆

[kierisi]

yes! it's so formal, and it seems even doubly so because it's in the middle of a blog post where everyone else is referred to by their first name.

[lwasser]

This is great @kierisi - please merge when you're ready!

one last comment.
just looking at this language, can we relax it a bit? i'm not sure how to do this.

For instance sumana - she is giving a keynote and it an incredible person who i want to highlight. i don't know her well so she might be surprised to be considered "part of pyos community" ... similarly sarah kaiser might also be surprised? i may be WAY too sensitive i just don't want some of the people here who i really respect but haven't been directly engaged with pyos (vs i have spoken with them individually, etc) to be surprised by the language. Maybe it could say somethin glike - every talk keynote ... where ou can meet pyos community members and other people doing incredibly important work in the python community (or whatever words you think is best just to relax things a bit).

[kierisi]

not a problem!
