Hi! We (Zulip) are planning on running a few workshops for new and existing contributors to Zulip; e.g. how to get started contributing to Zulip, and an overview of Zulip's technical architecture. It would help a lot to have access to a projector set-up. Is there any chance there is an open space with a projector? We're expecting ~20 people to attend from the existing Zulip community, and hopefully many more who we don't already know :). Thank you! Rishi
Hello Rishi! Thank you for your email! Sadly, we cannot provide projectors for open spaces. Renting extra AV and other technical equipment from the venue is really expensive, you are however welcome to bring your own projector and set it up in an open spaces room. Warm regards, Anna --------------------------------- You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

Hey everyone! We received the email below. I responded to his question regarding projectors but the fact that they are planning to organize sponsor workshops as part of the open spaces caught my eye. I wonder if that is something we would want to restrict? I don’t mind open spaces on certain products/hosted by employees of companies highlighting products as long as it’s in moderation but workshops are a different dimension and I wouldn’t want for them to block off an open spaces room for several hours to host workshops. Thoughts? Thank you :) Anna --------------------------------- You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.

Thanks for bringing this up, Anna — it's an interesting question! I wonder if these will be 1-hour events, or several-hour? Zulip is an open source project, so I have no problem in principle with their using the space, but it sounds definitely not like an open space and more like a pre-planned event using the space. We might just have to watch and learn this year to see how it goes, and then have policy in place for next year? We can be watching the board very closely to see how much time they try to reserve, and if it's more than an hour block then we can talk to them about whether any alternatives would be possible, maybe?

+1 on monitoring the open spaces board and either learning from it or talking to the organizers if they end up blocking a room for several hours at a time and we feel like it’s defeating the purpose of the open spaces. I also realized that I was thinking of Zapier and not Zulip the whole time, my bad. --------------------------------- You are appreciated. You are enough. You matter. You are not alone.
