Miguel Grinberg<p>This is the slide of my <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EuroPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython</span></a> presentation about my Microdot web framework for Python and MicroPython in which I compare its size against well known frameworks.</p>

Nikita Karamov<p>Today wraps up <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/europython2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython2025</span></a> for me. I wanted to visit the first day of the sprints, but did the same mistake as last year by having way too tight of a schedule. At least I'm in not stuck in Leipzig at 1 AM 😅</p><p>This year was a blast! I don't know if it was objectively better, but it was better for me personally. I could overcome shyness way better than last time and made more great acquaintances :BlobCatHeart: It makes having to leave now even sadder, but I'm looking forward to next year's <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/europython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython</span></a> (and maybe some other conferences in the meantime, who knows 😉)</p>
Gina Häußge<p>Just had a lovely chat with someone I met at the gate who also attended <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/EuroPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython</span></a> and is now sitting a few rows behind me on the plane to FRA. I may have left the conference, but the conference hasn't left me 🤭</p><p>Btw, this is why I always travel in event specific attire 😉</p>

Thibaud Colas :django:<p>At <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EuroPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython</span></a> lots of people are asking how many projects are built with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@django" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>django</span></a></span>. The answer is about 500k to 1M. And yet we only raise $250k per year to support the project, yep, sustainability in open source is hard ☺️</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Django" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Django</span></a></p>
Paolo Melchiorre<p>Last night was the social event at EuroPython 2025. For me, it started a little early with a delicious pizza with Antonio in the center of Prague, and then continued on Střelecký Island with tons of people, despite the rain. Thanks to the organizers for creating these moments of networking. 🍕🍻</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EuroPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EuroPython2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EuroPython2025</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p><p>CC <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@europython" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>europython</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@antocuni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>antocuni</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@foosel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>foosel</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/@freakboy3742" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>freakboy3742</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@brettcannon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>brettcannon</span></a></span></p>
