Thank you Anna! That helps a ton! --Hobson On Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 3:14 PM, Anna Ossowski <annabell.ossowski@gmail.com> wrote:
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.

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.

Hi all,
I hope you’re all well!
I thought it would be a good idea to officially kick off the planning of the PyCon US 2018 Open Spaces before the holidays hit everyone. May may still seem a long time away but it’s never too early to start planning :)
In the past I have used a Trello board (please let me know if you don’t have access) to keep track of ideas and tasks but I am open to using something different. I do think that using some sort of project management tool, whether that’s something like Trello or GitHub, makes sense and makes things a little easier.
Maybe we can start by discussing what went well last year, what didn’t go as planned, and any ideas we would like to implement for 2018.
Looking forward to working with all of you again! Anna
