Python Meetup February: Python World Congress

For the second month of the year we have two awesome talks about Pytest and about Queering the Map:
----

• ➡️ What: Pytest, a short hike.
• 📢 Who: Itxaso (Txas) Aizpurua
• ⏱ Duration: 45'
• 👅 Language: English
• 🧐 Abstract: Pytest is the go-to testing framework for python. In this talk, we will go through the basics of pytest to get everyone up to speed, and then delve deeper into some concepts like fixtures, mocking, profiling, parallelization, logging capture, etc.

• ➡️ What: Analysis of the use and the discourse of "Queering The Map"
• 📢 Who: Marta García
• ⏱ Duration: 15'
• 👅 Language: English
• 🧐 Abstract: In 2017 Lucas LaRochelle created the webpage Queering The Map. Its purpose was to provide a safe space for queer people around the globe to share experiences anonymously, and link them to a physical space. The information of the page arises this question: How does race, gender, sexuality, citizenship, ability, and class affect the ways in which we relate to, move through, and create space?

This presentation aims to give some insights in the process of answering this question, respecting the anonymity of the community involved, through the analysis of the discourse of the shared experiences and its relationship with the physical space defined by each country.
