EuroPython 2026: Learning from the “not-so-secret” Python security cabal

I delivered this talk at EuroPython 2026, I'll update this blog post once the recording is available on EuroPython's YouTube channel. Below are the slides and full list of links and resources included. This talk is a continuation of a talk I gave a year ago: “Security Work isn’t Special” as the keynote for OpenSSF Community Day NA where I lamented on how security work didn't match other Open Source contribution models like documentation, community, or code contributions. My work as the Security Developer-in-Residence at the Python Software Foundation is sponsored by Alpha-Omega. Thanks to Alpha-Omega for supporting security in the Python ecosystem.
