Open Spaces Co-Chairs + General Improvement Ideas
by Anna Ossowski 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi all, Trey and I took some time to speak with most of the people who applied for the Open Spaces Co-Chair roles and we have discussed all the candidates. Before we make a final decision, we wanted to get your input. We are currently torn between three people: * Haley Bear - New volunteer, very motivated and driven, committed to attending PyCon US in 2019, 2020, 2021 * Elizabeth Wickes - Already volunteering for the Education Summit, great leadership skills and drive, committed to attending PyCon in 2019, 2020, 2021 * Katia Lira - Volunteered for PyCon Charlas and as a session runner last year, could potentially help us encourage people to facilitate Open Spaces in Spanish, committed volunteer, already involved in DEFNA, PyCon Mexico, etc. I am pretty confident about Haley as she seems to have great potential and I would like to give someone new a chance. I am torn between Elizabeth and Katia and would love your input. Please let me know your thoughts as soon as possible. I would love to inform people by the end of the week. Trey and I also discussed some potential ideas for Open Spaces improvements, which we would like to propose. It is still a concern that people don’t know that the Open Spaces are happening. Also having to physically walk by the Open Spaces board in order to find out about which ones are going on at which time can be a hassle. We therefore came up with the following ideas: * Could we create a website to which we will upload a picture of the Open Spaces boards every 1-2 hours so people have a better idea of the schedule without having to walk by the boards? * Could we add this website link to the printed program? * Could we show a slide with this website link in between the talks at each room to make people aware that the talks are not the only thing going on at this time? Thank you! :) Anna —— You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

Hello everybody, I've seen that a few people have asked to create OS (yay), can I edit the page? I don't remember to have access, maybe I missed it? Also, is this the right way for me to reach everybody? Have a good day, Katia

OS Request
by JP Bader (NHC) 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi there! I am coming to PyCon this year and want to create 2 open spaces. I have been working with Betsy about kosher meals, and am coordinating a larger meal for those of us who keep kosher and want to have a Sabbath meal together Friday night. I don't know exactly how to create an OS request, or how to word it exactly, but below are both the Friday night dinner, and for Saturday night a music outlet :) 1) Friday night: Sabbath Dinner (in case anyone wants to have a traditional meal) 2) Saturday night: Jam session (I'll be bringing a piano) Regards, -- JP Bader President Next Health Choice, LLC www.nexthealthchoice.com @nxthealthchoice | 312-614-1267

Thanks for clarifying Ewa! I was worried that because I had suddenly received them I had something in my settings that was mis-configured. Last week Anna reminded me that I needed to join the pycon-openspaces mailing list and I figured I had donked something up there. xD On Mon, Mar 25, 2019 at 12:59 PM <pycon-openspaces-request(a)python.org> wrote: > Send Pycon-openspaces mailing list submissions to > pycon-openspaces(a)python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-openspaces > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > pycon-openspaces-request(a)python.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > pycon-openspaces-owner(a)python.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Pycon-openspaces digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I received three of the Pycon-openspaces Digest back to back just now, but not when the originals were sent, is there an adjustment that I need to make on my end? Also I tested out the herokuapp and uploaded a picture of a sloth fabric, but it wasn't overwriting the coffee shop table. I still saw the dog. Hopefully everyone's day is going well and I can't wait to try out the pycon.us/os version!

Putting the Open Spaces URL everywhere
by Trey Hunner 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hello open spaces crew, Ewa needs decisions by March 15 for open spaces board, slides for the slide roll before each talk, and program/schedule suggestions. So Anna, Haley, Katia: I'd love your input on the below ASAP since we only have a couple days. Ernest said he can make our open spaces board photo page atus.pycon.org/os and he might be able to do it at pycon.us/os. We need to decide on one of those URLs. Here are my suggestions: 1. The open spaces board should include some large text noting that the board can be viewed on your phone also. I'm proposing: > Want to see the board on-the-go? You can see the open spaces board on your phone! See this board at http://us.pycon.org/os 2. The slide roll before each talk should include a slide about seeing the open spaces from your phone: > Did you know you can take a look at the open spaces board from your phone or laptop this year?> Visit http://us.pycon.org/os to see what the board looks like now.> Find the open spaces board near the reg table to host your own open space. >> By the way, you should really try attending or planning an open space if you've never been! 3. Printed program: Open space rooms and time blocks listed in the schedule and printed program with a big overlay on top of the room/time grid that says: > Open spaces board near registration> Or visit http://us.pycon.org/os to see the board I realize this might be a hard sell space-wise in the program. Ewa & Jackie, I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this is possible. I can't remember what we did in the program the last couple years. Anywhere I'm missing putting the URL?Anything above that you think should change (wording, messaging, otherwise)?Anything else we're missing that we'll wish we hadn't overlooked in a week?
