 Python on hardware news. We got a lot of stuff going on this week. There's so much stuff. We were just in our meeting We do a remote team meeting with all of us before our shows and there's so much Python news And that's what's been happening with The newsletter so this week just you're gonna do a couple highlights, and they're gonna pick one thing out Yeah, I think it's kind of important. So we have the circuit Python 7 alpha 3 releases 6 30 stable releases If you check it out, we got the new poster with the micro Python snake and the circuit Python Blinka along with the keyboard there Talked about the Raspberry Pi chips the RP 2040s are available for a dollar in single units We also stocked them. We have Packs of 10 as well pie our toss for circuit Python Runs on Metro M4. I'm going to be talking about the switch from our repositories to main shortly We have a great interview with Armstrong who is on our show-and-tell and we have posted the interview text interview on our website This is a Q&A programming with microcontrollers circuit Python author. He's got a really cool story. Check it out. Yep Check out some of the videos Some of the news around the web the Picon Videos of all been posted. So if you didn't make it to Picon Virtually, you can watch it now Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of keyboard related things Multi-pass which is on our show-and-tell Minecraft controllers you name it. It's happening with Python on hardware Python in particular is becoming more and more popular. It'll probably end up being number one programming engine in the world As far as number of people using it So we cover that news and a bunch of other things, but as you can tell it's a never-ending Story about all the things that are going on with Python and one of the best things about Python is the inclusive community And that's what I'm going to talk about this week. So happy Pride Month everybody. Yeah If you look really close in the back here, we have our flag. Yeah, we put this up every year Yeah, last year we were yeah, well casting not from here, but it's yeah last year around this time I would come in after our show and Then I would we had our like chemical suits that we were using the spray-downator for this thing, June I think we're still doing that at night Because surface vectors for a virus attack was unknown So we're just like well, let's make sure we sanitize everything all the time always forever And we ain't got sick. So hopefully it worked out. So anyways This month's the Pride Month and I think it's a good time to reflect on some stuff But most of all if you're a technologist there are some things you can do to be inclusive to get rid of some old language That doesn't make sense anymore And also to understand where other people are coming from so the thing that we worked on and we've been doing this for a bit across different things is there's an old term and it's derived from bitkeeper master and slave for repos Repositories of software and you can change it to Maine and GitHub and Microsoft made big announcement We're gonna make it easy for you. We're gonna do this. Yes. It's actually like a one-click thing and GitHub as well that's right and that was Something that's really important to us important to our team and if you're a technologist You can do this and if you're an open source community like we are it reflects poorly if you ignore something that people really want so The neat thing that's happening is it's working So we're on Maine There's a lot of other organizations on Maine the day that we did our post about this with all the resources On how to do it on some of the other efforts make post it up most most see and me so 140 years of wrong So make is changing the language for their magazine with these things as well including what the pin stand for There's lots of efforts and Oshawa and more and then after we did masters of the Maine that night Spark fund chains there is 1038. They went from master to Maine then within a week. Arduino went from master to Maine So if you look at our post, there is a lot of organizations and I just started finding some logos really quick So about 80% of the open-source hardware now when you add Adafruit and spark fun have made that switch the software conservatory They do get and they have that as a default. Yeah Python Foundation is the ones that kind of got us all to or one of the ones that said hey, this is important. We can do this Make it's changing their language the Linux kernel Also changed it red hat going across all of the Linuxy stuff that they touch and more so this is happening and I really think that if you're someone who maintains Repositories it's something. Yes, it's a little bit of work, but you can do it And I know that there's this idea that well does it really matter? Does it solve things? No, it's a drop but get enough drops. You got a notion That's the type of change that we can do is remind people that when they are naming things going forward like Let's think about the language we use right because it's like just because we've had a long history of using certain words And they come up over and over again like the github naming came from bitkeeper and they the bitkeeper guy said Oh, I got it from something out like it becomes a viral decision. And so if you if you break the chain now We can keep people from using these same words over and over again Come with better more descriptive names and in more sense And I'll just say this because like lady and I get really crummy emails from people who don't like rainbows don't like Equality You know we're easy to get ahold of and I think one of the things is they themselves can imagine why it's a big deal But they don't work or work at a place with diversity or they don't know other people that have different backgrounds And so they can't imagine it But it's a simple thing that you could do if you're a technologist part of a bigger amount of work Yeah, this isn't the only thing. Yeah, it's more than a hashtag. It's more than just like I care It's something that we can all do but you start with this. Yeah We all we all have little things that we can do and if you do something every day Eventually there could be good change. That is the Python 1001 news this week. Thank you Blinka
