[cc'ing in our Open Spaces team for FYI] Hi Kimberly, There is info available on our call for proposals <https://us.pycon.org/2016/speaking/>, if you wish to submit a talk proposal about your film. Another option you have is if you will be attending PyCon, you can use one of our Open Spaces <https://us.pycon.org/2016/community/openspaces/> to show the film. However you would need to supply a projector, sound and possibly a screen, it would all depend on the size of the audience. If that is something you are interested in, I can work with our AV company to make sure we get you very competitive pricing for renting this equipment. If you have further questions about open spaces, please reach out to our Open Spaces team: pycon-openspaces(a)python.org.

Hello World! :)

Hi Kinga and Hobson, I’m happy to welcome you both as part of our little Open Spaces team :) Kinga and I already know each other but I thought it might be nice to introduce ourselves so we get to know a little bit about the others, I’ll start: I’m Anna Ossowski, I live in Germany and work for Eldarion as the Pinax community manager. I organized two Django Girls workshops, used to manage the „Your Django Story“ interview series on the Django Girls blog and still coach for Django Girls workshops occasionally. I’m a PSF director, group leader of the PyLadies Remote chapter, DjangoCon Communications Chair and PyCon Open Spaces Chair :) In my free time I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, and baking. Hobson, Kinga and I started putting together a little list of ideas regarding the Open Spaces, which you can find here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h4RVI-ocdzQtVPsAIa8TtIvTUYbQHa--xdfJ8iG…. Please feel free to add your own ideas. (Kinga, could you please give Hobson permission to edit the document?) Our main work won’t start until closer to PyCon next year so if you’d like to help with other tasks until then, I’m sure the program committee could use some help reviewing talk and tutorial proposals :) Ewa recommended that all communication regarding the Open Spaces should happen on this mailing list so please send everything Open Spaces related to pycon-openspaces(a)python.org. I look forward with working with both of you! :) Anna
