Probably just something simple asking people to follow the bot if they would like updates on Openspaces during PyCon.

Hi all, I'd like to make the Open Spaces page live and would appreciate your input. Here is a link: https://us.pycon.org/2018/events/open-spaces/. Trey and Anna have permission to edit the page directly. Let me know when you've had a chance to look it over and make any changes and I'll make the page live. Zak - you'll need to create an account so that I can give you permission to make changes. Cheers, Betsy

Request for Open Space Schedule
by cisca Oladipo 10 Feb '18

I would like my proposed talk "Deploying Tool support for Teaching Python to non-CS Majors: Experiences from a Nigerian College " to be scheduled for open space at the PyCon 2018. I have been teaching Computer Science and programming in the university for over a decade and I shall be bringing in the perspectives of teaching programming in a developing economy for over a decade. Though this particular presentation has not been given elsewhere before now, I have a rich experience of speaking at international and local conferences. This talk is for everyone who is interested in improved pedagogical approaches to teaching python in colleges and schools. There is no specialized background knowledge required other than an appreciation of the developing country and the diversity perspective to teaching python in schools. Kind regards. -- *'cisca* *Francisca ('cisca) O.
