Sounds good, Hobson!
Just to summarize, a couple of tasks and ideas from the last 2 years were:
Tasks
* Adding the Open Spaces section to the PyCon website
* Writing a blog post promoting the Open Spaces (to be published about a month before the conference)
* Monitoring the Open Spaces board onsite and tidying up around it
* Promoting the Open Spaces during the conference via our private Twitter accounts and the Open Spaces bot
* Asking the PyCon Chair to mention the Open Spaces in their remarks at PyCon
* Making sure the Open Spaces are mentioned in Guidebook
Ideas/Feedback
- How can we make the Open Spaces board more visible?
- Can we grid the Open Spaces schedule according to the talk schedule? Open Spaces slots and talk slots don’t start and end at the same times which means people sometimes miss two talks in order to attend an Open Space.
- Can we provide paper + pens + tape so people can label their Open Spaces rooms and people know which Open Space is happening in which room at any given time without having to check the board constantly.

You are appreciated.
You are enough.
You matter.
You are not alone.
Thank you Anna, I've been swamped adjusting to a new job. I'll make that announcement to PyCon staff this week. I'll try to use GitHub for issue/feature tracking since that's what Zak and I are using for the twitter bot. Will fall back to Trello if GitHub doesn't meet our needs.
