[Pycon-openspaces] Fwd: Projector for open space event?

[Brandon Rhodes]

Thanks for bringing this up, Anna — it's an interesting question! I wonder
if these will be 1-hour events, or several-hour? Zulip is an open source
project, so I have no problem in principle with their using the space, but
it sounds definitely not like an open space and more like a pre-planned
event using the space. We might just have to watch and learn this year to
see how it goes, and then have policy in place for next year? We can be
watching the board very closely to see how much time they try to reserve,
and if it's more than an hour block then we can talk to them about whether
any alternatives would be possible, maybe?
