Opening Keynote: MirrorWorld
summary
Keynote argues that Pythonistas already build practical civic infrastructure and must scale it: PyData and Jupyter for accessible statistics, the responsible communication style guide and its Python supplement for inclusive language, grassroots mutual aid like bail funds and Resist Bot for civic pressure. Concrete advice: run small testable actions (one postcard, a week of supplies), document organiser processes, mentor successors, and measure success by getting people on stage and preserving community capacity rather than grand gestures.
