Why FlaskCon insists on having publicly listed reviewers

Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 21:54:43 +0000

Python conferences all have a team of reviewers. Not made public. Since the first edition of FlaskCon, we made our list public. This encourages transparency and builds trust. People often ask: Why? If some great conferences don't do it, that means it is not important or necessary. But not necessarily so ...

Before we dig deeper, please have a look at Python conferences having a list of publicly disclosed reviewers for 2021 [1]:

Conference	Has public list of reviewers
PyCon US	❌
EuroPython	❌
PyCon India	❌
PyCon Japan	❌
FlaskCon	Yes

Django Con had a call for community reviewers. First come, first serve.

Well, at FlaskCon we are adamant that people who review talks be competent in the field they are in. And, they should be displayed. So that we know it's not my cat's backyard buddy who is helping out with the reviews. We just want as a conference to get the best talks possible selected.

So if a big conference does not have that feature, that does not mean we should tick it off. And i do think it's very weird for conferences who go to great lengths at perfecting details not to have it. An even more unsettling question is: Why keep it a secret. Is there some dark business going on? We hope no ...

Andrew Schonfeld: FlaskCon Impressions

Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 18:46:44 +0000

Well Mr Andrew, thanks for accepting the FlaskCon interview which
shall be up on our youtube channel soon.

Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Andrew Schonfeld, I've been a software engineer in the finance industry for over 14 years in Boston. The first 8 writing Java spring applications for big banks and then next 7 developing Python Flask applications for a small quant shop. More recently, in the midst of a pandemic, I moved to Pittsburgh to start a new job at Argo AI (a software company specializing in autonomous vehicles) mainly working on Typescript applications. I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA with my wife, 2 kids & our dog, Zoe.

How was your experience with Flask during all this time?

Flask has been a great & powerful tool. As I mentioned in the interview I can't believe the simplicity of it compared to developing web applications in Java. So You can start with as little Flask infrastructure as you want and as time goes on slowly make use of a lot of the great plugins people have added to Flask. Like Flask-Compress, Flask-Cache, Flask-ngrok.

What is your feel about FlaskCon?

It's tough to totally get the feel of FlaskCon right now because the major days are Saturday and Sunday. That being said, there was still a lot of feedback on Discord which was great. I hope that this conference continues in the future because Flask is very widely used and there's plenty of people just like who have had great experiences with it they'd like to share. All in all FlaskCon was great. Everyone seemed very engaged and happy to have me there. I think the technical hurdles of doing a conference remotely were handled very well TBH. I think it will open the doors to having a wider range of speakers in the future because sometimes it's not possible to be there in person.

How can we improve the Flask community?

I think you chose the right avenues to advertise this thing like r/flask. I think in the future you can look at posting on r/python, Hackernews and maybe having links to it directly in the Flask documentation will help. Hopefully some of the other speakers have some good ideas on this as well.

How can we find you?
