Thank you Zak! You've been invaluable these past years. Ewa, I may not be able to make it to PyCon this year either, so I'm looking around for a replacement openspaces chairperson. If you, Anna, or Trey have someone in mind, let me know and I'll be happy to contact them and bring them up to speed. --Hobson On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 6:29 PM Zak wrote:

Hey y'all,

Thanks for thinking of me with regards to the openspaces co-chair. Unfortunately I'm going to be unable to attend PyCon or participate with the openspaces committee this year. If there is interest in using the twitter bot again or adding functionality to it, I'm glad to help get it turned on or explain what's going on with its setup.

All the best, Zak

Hi Open Spaces committee -

I hope everyone is having a great 2019!

Firstly, I'd like to introduce you all to our newest team member for PyCon, Jackie Augustine. Jackie will be shadowing me for 2019 and afterwards will be your go-to person for anything PyCon related.

Additionally, as we inch closer to PyCon 2019, I'd like to confirm this year's committee.

Hobson Lane - Chair for 2019 Zak Kent - Co-Chair Trey Hunner - Co-Chair

If this is still accurate or has changed, let us know! If anyone knows of new folks that are interested in learning the process, we can add them to this mailing list group as well.

Talk to you all soon,

Ewa _______________________________________________ Pycon-openspaces mailing list Pycon-openspaces@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-openspaces

Thank you Hobson and Zak for the updates. It is unfortunate we will not see you at PyCon 2019! We hope to see you in 2020! A lot of people enjoyed the bot so we may ask for help with it down the road. On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 10:53 PM Trey Hunner wrote:

Hi Ewa,

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to chair on my own (honestly I'd prefer to help mentor someone else who has the title of chair), though I do have ideas around promotion and I'd still like to be involved as a co-chair.

I could tweet to ask whether anyone is excited enough about the open spaces to consider volunteering as the open spaces chair? I could take folks who reach out to me and send the responsibilities involved to them and see who wants to take it on. I would guess there's folks who might be interested in volunteering to help, but don't know there's an opening they could help with.

Would you like me to tweet to gauge interest?

Trey: yes, I think that is a great idea. It may even be a good idea to get two new people involved. Let Jackie A. and I know if there is anything we can do to support you with this.

Hi Anna - If you are OK with stepping back in, that may be helpful. If we get two new volunteers to help for 2019 and 2020, you and Trey on-boarding them together may be very helpful. On Wed, Jan 23, 2019 at 9:14 AM Anna Ossowski wrote:

Hi all, Regarding recruiting new Open Spaces folks, how do you suggest we go about this? A couple of options: * Tweet about it * Write a blog post with a “job description” so people know what to expect * Curate a list of people who may be interested and reach out to them personally * Create a Google form for people to apply Any thoughts?
