PyCons are conferences about Python and usually done by grassroots volunteers within their geographical area. PyCon started first in the United States in 2003 in Washington D.C, and have grown worldwide and done yearly in many regions and countries like Europe, Japan, Australia, Singapore, China South Korea, India and Malaysia.Malaysia had its first mini PyCon in 2014. In 2015, we had our first big PyCon MY. After organizing PyCon MY for many years, we realized that getting the Python community to get together for a few days a year to share knowledge and compare experiences allows the growth of ideas and also the exchange of skills, which will lead to a spillover of greater cooperation even after the conference is over. Stronger ties between developers and users of Python can be nurtured better when there is real human interaction, which is a big plus to the community. But we need to have continuity and provide the opportunity for people to get together to see the effects in the long run, and just providing a space for a few days a year for people to get together doesn’t seem to be enough. There should be more to that, because continuity and horizontal connections are the key.
