PyCon US is just around the corner.  I've asked Rob Ludwick to come on the show to discuss how to get the most out of your PyCon experience. There's a lot to do. A lot of activities to juggle, including actual juggling, which is where we start the conversation.Even if you never get a chance to go to PyCon, I hope this interview helps you get a feel for the welcoming aspect of the Python community.We talk about: - Juggling at PyCon- How to get the most out of PyCon    - Watching talks    - Hallway track    - Open spaces    - Lightening talks    - Expo hall / vendor space    - Poster sessions    - Job fair    - A welcoming community    - Tutorials     - Sprints    - But mostly about the people of Python and PyCon."Python enables smart people to work faster" - Rob Ludwick
