[Pycon-openspaces] Next up

[Anna Ossowski]

Hey Brandon!

Thank you for giving me access to the PyCon blog and for your suggestions regarding the blog post. I agree with you and I removed the paragraph about reserving a slot in advance. You are right that it sounded negative and we have not received any emails regarding the topic at all so it’s probably not necessary to mention this :)

I saved the blog post in Blogger. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do.

Thank you so much for your help!
Anna

The blog post would read more positively and smoothly, as it talks about what we are doing with open spaces, if it did not stop to say something that we are not doing with them. I suspect that we can just leave that paragraph out? That way, the post would focus on what open spaces are, what they do, and how to sign up, without any distractions about how things used to be.

When do you think would be a good time for the blog post to go up? Would you mind publishing the blog post and the tweets for us or is there a way for us to get access to the PyCon blog and Twitter accounts?

> Hobson, how are you doing regarding contacting people/groups and encouraging them to facilitate an open space? I think it would be great if we could get those emails out by mid-May. I will start traveling May 12th and I would feel much better starting my travels for OSCON and PyCon if I knew all of our open space prep is done :)
> Please let Kinga and I know if you need help with anything. Kinga did a great job compiling a list of topic suggestions, which I added to the PyCon website https://us.pycon.org/2016/events/open-spaces/ <https://us.pycon.org/2016/events/open-spaces/>.

> Kinga and Hobson, I think it would be great if we met on Sunday, May 29th (maybe in the late afternoon, right before the opening reception) to have a little „briefing“ in person to discuss the upcoming days of open spaces and anything else that may be relevant. The date is totally flexible. Saturday afternoon/evening may work as well and I promise it won’t take long. Kinga is flying in Saturday morning and I will fly in Saturday afternoon. I just wanted to bring this up so both of you can mark your calendars :)

> We will have to put the open spaces boards up at 7am every morning. Kinga and I discussed taking turns so each one of us would only have to be there so early once instead of all 3 days. We also discussed putting one person in charge for each day, meaning one person would monitor the board for day one, a second person would take day two, etc. What are your thoughts on this?
