This website is built with Astro.
Yes, we're fully aware of the irony of building the website for a Python conference with JavaScript tooling ;) Previous versions of this site were built with Statik, and Astro is very similar in spirit while being more actively maintained.
This website depends on Typst; check out their install instructions for that.
You'll need to install Node.js (which you can usually get from your friendly local system package manager) and PNPM. Then, run:
pnpm install
pnpm startWhile this repo is the source of truth for most content on the website, talk data and speaker bios are synced from Pretalx.
This is done by a script that loads data using the Pretalx API and commits it to this repo. This lets us ensure that remote services don't block us from being able to rebuild the website, and also makes it easier to archive the website once the conference is over.
