open space - Artemis spaceship-bridge simulation game
by Marjeta Cedilnik 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

I would like to organize a game of Artemis. This is a LAN game that simulates a spaceship bridge, players having roles of officers (captain, helm, weapons, science, engineering, communications) This YouTube video has a good explanation of how the game works: https://youtu.be/V9Q2X32hZNk Each player, except captain, will need to bring a laptop (a tablet/smartphone might work for communication officer, but definitely not for helm or weapons), and we will need an extra computer to be the main screen. As the organizer, I will help people install the game and teach people how to play. Thanks, Marjeta

Pycon 2020
by Haley Bear 14 Jan '20

I am also available again this year, although I think I need clarification on how things are going to work out. Do we request the same setup as last year through the organizers or was that something that Anna & Trey bought/brought with them as far as the big boards, plain indexes, and markers? Similarly who do we contact about having photos again this year? One thing I was going to suggest was medium sized chisel tipped markers for legibility if/when we do photos. Cheers!

Hey Gabrielle! Please feel free to add your open space to the board, it sounds super fun! For the sound equipment, we don't have access to AV staff for the open spaces and that's something that I will take back to the team for future years. Feel free though to bring a bluetooth speaker or boom box for that open space though. Thanks for your patience and for reaching out, Haley Bear On Fri, May 3, 2019, 10:46 AM Gabrielle Simard-Moore <gsimardmoore(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hey, > > I'm also interested in hosting an ecstatic dance (it is a free form style > of dance where people of all ages meet up and dance with no judgement, no > photos allowed, for the purpose of fun, enlightenment, and community) open > space.

PyCon Open Spaces Game Plan
by Anna Ossowski 02 May '19

02 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.

I have no objections! One thing I noticed though is that the pens are Very thin, so I grabbed a couple sharpies from the staff area. From the distance that is used to capture the whole board it's already difficult to read.

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
