[Pycon-openspaces] Open Spaces 2017 Kick Off!

[Anna Ossowski]

Hey Trey and Hobson!

My one concern about the bot is how much time we’ll spend approving tweets etc. during the conference. We are Open Spaces chairs but we are also attendees and I wouldn’t want us to worry about being on our laptops and “feeding” the bot the whole time. What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you!
Anna

I'll try to have it running by April 1 so we can test it thoroughly. This will be fun!
