Hi all, EuroPython is on the horizon and they have a new thing (or at least new for me) called "helpdesk"
Helpdesk / 10 slots
Helpdesks are a great way to share your experience on a technology, by offering to help people answering their questions and solving their practical problems. You can run a helpdesk by yourself or with colleagues and friends. Each helpdesk will be open for 3 hours in total, 1.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon. People looking for help will sign up for a 30 minute slot and talk to you. There is no specific preparation needed; you just need to be proficient in the technology you run the helpdesk for.
see: https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ I would be interested to try this and volunteer to help with questions about tox mainly. Would anybody else interested in that kind of thing? If we find a handful of people that would want to do that, we could have a tox/pytest/devpi helpdesk :) Cheers, Oliver
