Rob Ludwick - Getting the most out of PyCon, including juggling

PyCon US is just around the corner. I've asked Rob Ludwick to come on the show to discuss how to get the most out of your PyCon experience. There's a lot to do. A lot of activities to juggle, including actual juggling, which is where we start the conversation.

Even if you never get a chance to go to PyCon, I hope this interview helps you get a feel for the welcoming aspect of the Python community.

We talk about:
- Juggling at PyCon
- How to get the most out of PyCon
- Watching talks
- Hallway track
- Open spaces
- Lightening talks
- Expo hall / vendor space
- Poster sessions
- Job fair
- A welcoming community
- Tutorials
- Sprints
- But mostly about the people of Python and PyCon.

"Python enables smart people to work faster" - Rob Ludwick
