I had to go back to grab this screenshot, because we have now zoomed past 100% But, to be honest, we needed to. I believe this will end up being our best fundraising year ever, but it is also our most expensive year ever. Please help us finish strong!
Screenshot from Jurrasic World Rebirth scene about open source. "We open source it. It's all of us, not some of us" "I don't make any money in that scenario" "Oh, no, you're broke as hell"

This dialogue about open source from Jurrasic World Rebirth movie is so accurate 🥲
"We open source it.... It's all of us, not some of us"
"I don't make any money in that scenario"
"Oh, no, you're broke as hell"

There's still time to propose a talk for #PyConUS 2026 before the CFP closes tomorrow. If you're part of the Python community and the topic interests you you're probably not alone. It doesn't need to be about Python specifically, just of interest to the community.
