There's a service called "certifier" which is basically sending certificates as a service and it's like $110 a month.
😶‍🌫️
I wrote a Python script to do the same thing for PyLadiesCon for free. I should take some kind of entrepreneur bootcamp to learn how to charge people for things, however,
if you need to issue attendance certificates for your event for free, read my blog:

Folks don't understand how open source contributions work. If you want a feature, you don't come and say "make me this feature". Instead, you open a PR and ask for it to get merged.
Folks don't understand how community conferences work. If you want something to happen in the conference, you don't come and say "make this happen for me". Instead, you say "I want to volunteer and do this for your conference".

Citra grew up in conservative Muslim family, and her family discouraged her from learning about philosophy.
She studied astronomy because it is one of the oldest science that is developed and depended on by the Islamic and Muslim community.

Citra Sagala, Technical Architect at NTTData, is now telling us about "Sky Full of Stars"
She admitted that when she submitted the proposal, she was listening to Coldplay.

Volunteer communities are like:
> "We need to do X"
"That takes commitment and time and we're all volunteers"
> "So can we hire someone to do X?"
"We're volunteer community,
nobody gets paid"
"Where's the money from?"
"Can I get paid too then?"
> "How do we fundraise and decide who gets paid and who volunteers?"
"We need committed people who can govern and decide that"
and
"That takes commitment and time and we're all volunteers"

Pro tip: Conference organizers love it when you submit your talk proposal weeks before the CFP closes (instead of on the day of).
So, let's make conference organizers near you happy by submitting your talk proposal early.
#PyCascades and #PyLadiesCon both have CFPs closing in about 2 weeks from now!

Well, sometimes you just have to be brave and share some unpopular and controversial opinion on the internet.

Getting involved in open source community means you need to install so many different chat apps 😓😓
Discord, Discourse, Matrix, Slack, Telegram, Signal, etc
😓😓😓

Wishing for cooking recipes that are not in the form of stories. Does that exist? 🥺
I was scrolling on a recipe page for kebab. I know what kebab is, I know it takes very little ingredients. I can make it without recipes, but I'm curious about this specific variety. So I read it.
Five paragraphs down, it's still about "during my field trip last summer" and "why fiber is good" instead of told on how to make this kebab.

Obvious things conference speakers should do:
- submit a talk proposal
- take a photo/selfie
- write up bio
- give the talk
Not obvious things conference speakers should do:
- update email filter so emails from conference organizers don't end up in spam
- when traveling, plan to arrive at Talk day - 2 days, in case of flight cancellations
- show up at least 30 minutes before the talk slot, not 5 minutes before
- use light mode presentation slides (light bg, dark text)
anything else?
