Surprise! 9 Months Until North Bay Python 2025!
Hello Pythonistas!
It's not even a month since we got out of the (somewhat excessive) heat of the North Bay Python barn, and we're pleased to announce that the ink has dried on our 2025 contract.
Save the date! North Bay Python 2025 will be taking place on April 26th and 27th at Reis River Ranch in the lower Petaluma Valley in glorious Sonoma County, California.
Why April?
We read your survey responses, and saw that you all had a lot of opinions about the weather this year. In this era of record heat waves, continuing to host the outdoor event we've come to love — in Summer — just wasn't going to be a thing we could keep doing.
We looked through our calendars and historical weather reports and found a remarkable two whole weekends per year where it's not obscenely hot, not in Northern California's famously relentless rainy season, [not in the fire season that almost derailed 2019](https://buttondown.email/northbaypython/archive/2019-videos-available-and-the-future-of-north-bay/), and not within two weeks of PyCon US. Of those two, we are excited to have chosen the weekend that's probably not the same as [Petaluma's Butter And Egg Days Parade](https://petalumadowntown.com/butter-eggs-parade.html) (though you should totally visit for that as well).
[We're also pleased to be visiting the ranch at a time of year when it will look even more like our logo image.](https://social.northbaypython.org/@NorthBayPython/112849690022558322)
We can't wait to welcome you all back to Petaluma for two days of community building, important talks for people who care about Python, the companionship of barn cats, light operetta/other artistic parody, all set amongst gorgeous scenery in the Python community's most consistently agricultural-adjacent conference! Now with an added likelihood of acceptable temperatures!
And in case you need some reminding of what you'll experience at the conference:
- Check out our videos from 2024 at https://www.youtube.com/northbaypython
- Follow us on the Fediverse, and relive all the posts we made during and before the event at https://social.northbaypython.org/@NorthBayPython
Look out for our call for program proposals sometime in... idk, January, I guess? Tickets might go on sale a bit earlier.
I'm sure you'll be hearing from us soon, and see you in April!
