This year we had a tremendous turnout of over 20 people from several countries for our 1-day pyConUS sprint. At last count this resulted in about [30 issues and pull requests](https://github.com/orgs/pyOpenSci/projects/12/views/1) where volunteers who were there to support scientists, helped us fix issues on our website, in our tutorials and our [packaging](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/) and [peer review](https://www.pyopensci.org/software-peer-review/index.html) guidebooks. So many long-standing issues and bugs were fixed thanks to this wonderful Python community.

Last but not least, pyOpenSci had a strong presence at the PyConUS packaging summit this year. The summit was organization by [Pradyun Gedam](https://github.com/pradyunsg), [Jannis Leidel](https://github.com/jezdez), [CAM Gerlach](https://github.com/CAM-Gerlach), [Filipe Laínes](https://github.com/FFY00). As I have mentioned several times, packaging is one of the more thorny topics in our Python ecosystem. However, this year, things felt different compared to last.

For one, there were a lot more people in the room, and people with different perspectives. For starters, last year I was 1 of 3? female-identifying people in the room - this year there were people from many backgrounds and identities in the room! Last year also felt more technical whereas this year was a perfect mix of discussing technical topics combined with a strong theme of considering user experience in both installing Python and creating packages. PLUS - documentation - yes PLEASE!
