But I can arrive earlier.Thank you so much,Looking forward to hearing from you.-AndreyOn Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 6:12 AM Anna Ossowski <annabell.ossowski@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Andrey,Thanks so much for reaching out to us!Are you planning on attending PyCon US 2020 and 2021 as well?I appreciate your ideas!

I use Python on a daily basis to write and maintain scientific software for the lab that I work for, and for some system administration and for fun as well.Here are my GitHub and LinkedIn profiles if you want to learn more what I do:* GitHub: https://github.com/andreysmelter* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreysmelter/I am planning to addend PyCon this year and submitted an abstract for the poster session.After attending my first PyCon 2018 last year I thought that I should do volunteering for PyCon and after seeing call for volunteers for Open Spaces I thought it is a great opportunity to get more involved and do something awesome for the Python Community.I remember a lot of people were taking pictures of the Open Spaces board to see what sessions are scheduled. I thought it would be nice to through some simple automation into it:* Create google spreadsheet with available times and rooms.* Create a dedicated twitter account for open sessions if it is not already exists.* Use one of the available python libraries that interact with google spreadsheet (e.g. https://github.com/xflr6/gsheets, https://github.com/nithinmurali/pygsheets)* Have a python script that goes over the upcoming Open Sessions and tweets room number, time and topic.I am happy to help with all tasks specified in the call for volunteer document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cl8eejx6C8rNgSwCvW6ozgt-1F2zQ7NpH1Qr982H7tQ/editThank you!-Andrey
