Mine is ossanna16, yes!

Katia, I think the issue might be that you are not listed as a list administrator for this mailing list but I’m not absolutely sure. 

Jackie, would you be so kind to make Katia an administrator?

Also I wonder if Haley ever joined this list since I haven’t heard anything from her. Let me email her.

——
You are appreciated.
You are enough.
You matter.
You are not alone.

>>>>> 
>>>>> * Could we create a website to which we will upload a picture of the Open Spaces boards every 1-2 hours so people have a better idea of the schedule without having to walk by the boards?
>>>>> 
>>>>> If it is for uploading a picture, I think creating a page on us.pycon.org <http://us.pycon.org/> is best. Could be https://us.pycon.org/2019/events/open-spaces/board <https://us.pycon.org/2019/events/open-spaces/board> or something along those lines. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> We were thinking a URL that could easily be remembered/typed quickly after seeing it in the program, on the slide roll, or on a poster.
>>>>> 
>>>>> We can use a URL shortener if needed, but it'd be nice to have a pycon.org <http://pycon.org/> URL if possible. Like pycon.org/os <http://pycon.org/os>, pycon.org/open <http://pycon.org/open>, pycon.org/open-spaces <http://pycon.org/open-spaces>. Would it be possible to use a URL like that temporarily (during the duration of the conference)?
>>>>> 
>>>>> I'm not sure about the logistics of updating the picture. It'd be nice if there was a way someone could do it from their phone (maybe via email, tweet, or similar). I can imagine some ways to do that but I don't know what API(s) the pycon.org <http://pycon.org/>website allows and what the mobile interface looks like.
>>>>> 
>>>>> If the short URL and an easy upload setup might be possible, who should I talk to to work that out? Would that be Ernest?
>>>>> 
>>>>> Understood, I will discuss the requirements with Ernest and see if a mobile interface is possible for 2019. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> My only concern about the pycon.org <http://pycon.org/> URL is that it is used to show worldwide PyCons. I would prefer us.pycon.org/os <http://us.pycon.org/os>.  Is that OK with you all? 
>>>>>  
>>>>> 
>>>>> * Could we add this website link to the printed program?
>>>>> 
>>>>> If I have the link by March 15th, yes it can be included. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> * Could we show a slide with this website link in between the talks at each room to make people aware that the talks are not the only thing going on at this time?
>>>>> 
>>>>> +1. In between the talks we have sponsored ads as part of the sponsor benefits. We could add into the rotation a slide about open spaces. I would like to get it designed to match our 2019 design. If you send me the content for this slide, I can work with our designer to match. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> Great! I can work on conveying what we were hoping for copy/design-wise for the printed program and the slides.
>>>>> 
>>>>> Would it be possible to have that URL on the open spaces board as well? So as folks walk by they'll see the board and "You can see the open spaces board on your phone! See this board at pycon.org/os <http://pycon.org/os>"
>>>>> 
>>>>> Yes of course. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> I'll need the slide content and a decision on the final link by March 15th. 
>>>>> 
>>>>> Thank you all for coming up with these wonderful ideas on how to improve the usage of open spaces!
