Open Spaces Idea
by Michael Dahlberg May 5, 2025

May 5, 2025

I don't know how well this might be attended (probably not much interest at all, but I'm ok with that) but I was thinking about an Open Space on beekeeping: how to get started; what you need; what its like. If you think its not appropriate for this venue or if there won't be much interest, I'm ok withdrawing my suggestion. But, who knows? Maybe it might be of interest to someone. Mike

2 Open Spaces I plan to hold at PyCon US 2025
by Sumana Harihareswara April 29, 2025

April 29, 2025

Dear Open Spaces folks: Thank you for coordinating Open Spaces! I am planning to host two open spaces: "Still on Python 2?" - Sunday, May 18th: 11am-noon EST An opportunity for software maintainers who are still supporting Python 2.x to talk with people who are still using Python 2.x. What do users need before we can migrate? What do maintainers need to know or get before we can fully deprecate 2.x support? What funding might be necessary to make these happen? A supportive and nonjudgmental discussion facilitated by Sumana Harihareswara (sh(a)changeset.nyc). "Beautiful Soup: Ask Me Anything" - Sunday, May 18th: 2pm-3pm EST An open questions session with Leonard Richardson, the maintainer of screen-scraping library [Beautiful Soup](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/). If you've ever used or tried to use it, share your questions, confusions, stuff you've made, concerns, ideas, offers of help, etc. with Leonard in person. If we don't have a ton of questions, we might do some impromptu usability testing to check whether the new type hints help you use the library. Facilitated by Sumana Harihareswara (email sh(a)changeset.nyc for more information). Could you please add these to the website listing? I understand that I will still have to add my sessions to the Open Spaces boards at PyCon US to officially book the time slots for these Open Spaces. Thank you. -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc

Open Space Request: Anaconda Focus Group on AI/ML Workflows
by Boaz Douyon April 23, 2025

April 23, 2025

Hi Pycon Team, My name is Boaz Douyon, and I am a user experience researcher at Anaconda. I'm interested in hosting an open space during Pycon to conduct a focus group with developers and AI/ML engineers, particularly those working with machine learning systems and LLMs. The purpose would be to understand their workflows and uncover unmet needs. The session would last 60-90 minutes, including guided discussion questions and collaborative activities (such as ideal solution sketching). Participants (~6 to 8) would gain insight into how others in their field approach similar challenges, while Anaconda would gather valuable feedback to improve our tools. I'd like to confirm if this type of research session qualifies as an open space under Pycon guidelines and, if so, what additional information I need to provide to secure a time slot. I appreciate your guidance on this matter. Best regards, Boaz -- Boaz Douyon UX Researcher ldouyon(a)anaconda.com <https://www.anaconda.com/?utm_source=email-signature&utm_medium=anaconda> www.anaconda.com <https://www.anaconda.com/?utm_source=email-signature&utm_medium=anaconda> Sign up <https://www.anaconda.com/newsletter?utm_source=email-signature&utm_medium=a…> for our newsletter

PyCon Open Space - CKAN
by Jones, Jamaica April 14, 2025

April 14, 2025

Good morning, I am writing to request an open space at this year's PyCon. Specifically, we are hoping to reserve some space between 4 and 6 pm on Saturday, May 17 so that members of the CKAN community might have a chance to gather, share updates and engage in a quick round of lightning talks. If this is something you can accommodate, I'd like to offer the following verbiage for the webpage<https://us.pycon.org/2025/events/open-spaces/>: CKAN Community – Saturday, May 17th; 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM EST Connect with fellow CKAN users, contributors, and newcomers for updates, lightning talks, and casual conversation. Whether you're deep into data or new to CKAN, stop by to share ideas and help shape what’s next. Interested in giving a lightning talk? Email us at pose.ckan(a)pitt.edu. Please let me know if there anything else I need to do to help secure some space. Thanks very much, Jamaica Jones CKAN POSE Community Manager PhD Candidate, University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information
