Hey Ewa and Brandon, I just tweeted out the link to the Open Spaces blog post (thanks again Brandon for editing and posting it ;)) and someone asked on Twitter if we will have large screens and projectors available for the Open Spaces. Thank you for your help! Anna --------------------------------- You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

Hi Brooke - Thank you for sending these topics along! I am cc'ing in the Open Spaces team to share with them your email and topics. They are hard at work making sure we have lots of interest in the Open Spaces this year. Once one of your team members arrive onsite, they are welcome to add these topics to the board. The board will be located by the registration desk outside of exhibit hall A/B.

Hey everyone! PyCon is now only a little more than a month away, it’s crazy how time flies :) We have a few more things to do before PyCon and I just wanted to check in with everyone to see how things were going. Brandon, I wrote this blog post https://docs.google.com/document/d/1262fTqWUTyGGfybVsoSFQj3fo2pyMxUV-GZ_dQk… and a couple of tweets https://docs.google.com/document/d/17DcNG-AJD0hsODHfMQBn3GdNCIsPvVNFigkYz7X…. When do you think would be a good time for the blog post to go up? Would you mind publishing the blog post and the tweets for us or is there a way for us to get access to the PyCon blog and Twitter accounts? Hobson, how are you doing regarding contacting people/groups and encouraging them to facilitate an open space? I think it would be great if we could get those emails out by mid-May. I will start traveling May 12th and I would feel much better starting my travels for OSCON and PyCon if I knew all of our open space prep is done :) Please let Kinga and I know if you need help with anything. Kinga did a great job compiling a list of topic suggestions, which I added to the PyCon website https://us.pycon.org/2016/events/open-spaces/. Kinga and Hobson, I think it would be great if we met on Sunday, May 29th (maybe in the late afternoon, right before the opening reception) to have a little „briefing“ in person to discuss the upcoming days of open spaces and anything else that may be relevant. The date is totally flexible. Saturday afternoon/evening may work as well and I promise it won’t take long. Kinga is flying in Saturday morning and I will fly in Saturday afternoon. I just wanted to bring this up so both of you can mark your calendars :) We will have to put the open spaces boards up at 7am every morning. Kinga and I discussed taking turns so each one of us would only have to be there so early once instead of all 3 days. We also discussed putting one person in charge for each day, meaning one person would monitor the board for day one, a second person would take day two, etc. What are your thoughts on this? Warm regards, Anna --------------------------------- You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

That makes sense. > No apologies needed - for privacy reasons we cannot give out the list of registration emails and historically we have avoided sending emails to our attendees beyond one right before the conference. In that email though, we will be sure to mention open spaces. If you want to draft up a short paragraph for me to use, please do. > Maybe you could consider having someone (or some python script) with > access to the list filter out open space emails (or TLDs) that are not in > the attendee email list.

Of > course there's not much danger/harm in that until my list gets very long. > Sorry, but I do not understand what you are asking. I think you are asking for us to search through pycon-reg(a)python.org emails for those that have asked about open spaces. Is that correct? Sorry for missing the point.

List of topics for the website
by Kinga Kięczkowska April 4, 2016

April 4, 2016

Hello everyone, I compiled a list of ideas for open spaces topics, based on what we already had, what was done last year, and what people suggested on Twitter. You can find it in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C38lRU7zlZ2pgnGcP0w6bRGU8kD8JspA6fE-reO… If you have any suggestions / more ideas, please feel free to contribute. I'd also love your feedback on the childcare and quiet rooms, and the space for people to organise tours of Portland - would we want something like that? Cheers, Kinga
