PyCon Open Spaces Game Plan
by Anna Ossowski 03 May '19

03 May '19

Hi Trey, PyCon is fast approaching so I thought it would be good to come up with a general game plan for everyone. Would you be able to send some instructions to the team with regards to monitoring the Open Spaces board and uploading the images to the website? How often should we take a picture? How do we split it up? Anything else we need to know? Thanks so much :) Anna —— You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

Rural Computing Open Space at PyCon 2019
by Brian Corbin 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hi, I'm interested in hosting an Open Space at PyCon about "Rural Computing" This would mainly focus on use of the Python language and computing related projects with it to get more of the good problem solvers living in rural areas interested in working in computing. I started https://hub-ology.org/ in South Carolina to help address a number of issues via gifts of hardware kits + computer eduction (primarily using Python as the programming language). I'd like to share experiences and make connections with others living and working in rural areas. https://github.com/corbinbs/solarshed is a good example of a project we've found that has gotten folks interested in learning more about Python and computing that don't have a lot of formal training (and may have even dropped out of school due to hard times). I don't yet have a planned time for it and would like help in advertising the possibility of this open space to identify the best time to host it for folks that are interested https://us.pycon.org/2019/events/open-spaces/ Looking forward to PyCon and thanks for all of the work that's gone into the planning this year (and all the years)! Thank you, Brian Corbin 🚜💻 https://keybase.io/corbinbs

Two open space ideas!
by David Baumgold 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hi there, I’d like to add two open space ideas to the Open Spaces page (https://us.pycon.org/2019/events/open-spaces/ <https://us.pycon.org/2019/events/open-spaces/>): * LGBTQ in Tech — could you add a link to the https://lgbtq.technology/ <https://lgbtq.technology/> website? * Mastodon & the Fediverse — could you add a link to the https://joinmastodon.org/ <https://joinmastodon.org/> website? I am happy to host both of these open spaces. My name is David “DB" Baumgold, and you can link to my Mastodon account (https://mastodon.social/@singingwolfboy <https://mastodon.social/@singingwolfboy>), my personal website (https://www.davidbaumgold.com/ <https://www.davidbaumgold.com/>) or both. I don’t have a proposed date or time for these open spaces yet, but if you’d like to suggest one, that’s fine with me! Thank you! DB

I agree that hoping for 30 minutes may be a bit much, but I signed up for the 90ish minute slots as well. I can promise to check the board and take pictures each time I pass it though. Looking at the pictures included - my main concern is that a full or filling board will be illegible with the small and thin script. I can bring sharpies if that would help? Also I am wondering about what the image size/compression will be like with the board images and whether people can zoom in on the image.

Removing hashtag from website and adding http://pycon.us/os URL
by Trey Hunner 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

We're not planning to use the bot this year, so we should remove the reference to it from the website. Caught this (thanks to Ernest) via a tweet: https://twitter.com/webKnjaZ/status/1120663576966987776 I'm thinking the copy should read: One way to keep up-to-date on the latest Open Spaces schedule is to bookmark the (new this year) open spaces board image URL: http://pycon.us/os. During the conference, that URL will display an image of the open spaces board, updated throughout the day by PyCon staff and volunteers. It looks like I don't have access to edit that page (or I've forgotten how to get to the edit feature). Could someone else edit it please? -- Trey Hunner Truthful Technology, LLC <https://truthful.technology>
