I am interested in helping with the open spaces effort this year. I have attended PyCon twice (2014 and 2018). Last year I spent nearly the entire conference within open spaces, attending only three talks during the conference. I am active within the Python Education space and helping to cochair the Python Education Summit this year. The 2018 education summit was great, but the education conversations during the conference proper really only existed within the open spaces. They were vital for me and I was able to make several great connections and really shore up some important projects/relationships during the open spaces. I would likely not have pushed to attend PyCon 2019 without knowing that open spaces were happening again. I am eager to see this continue, and understand that the care and upkeep of the open spaces boards and information are vital to keeping it sustainable during the conference. I will be attending PyCon this year, arriving on Wednesday to attend the education summit on Thursday, and then departing on Monday. So I will be around all day fri/sat/Sun to help with this effort. I have done this sort of work in the past and find it a nice way to have some quiet time during the conference while still being a productive use of my time. I used to deep clean the office white board once a week to unpack from difficult projects, for example. I have support and plans to attend PyCon in future years as well, and would be interested in discussing a future chair role if it is deemed a good fit. I think I?ve hit all the info that you have requested, but happy to answer any follow up questions as needed. Thanks for your efforts to keep PyCon awesome and universally valuable!

I have support and plans to attend PyCon in future years as well, and would be interested in discussing a future chair role if it is deemed a good fit. I think I?ve hit all the info that you have requested, but happy to answer any follow up questions as needed. Thanks for your efforts to keep PyCon awesome and universally valuable!

I genuinely love working for PyCon's any way I can and have been part of many in the past years as well. Previously working closely behind the teams in PyCon India 2018, PyCon India 2017, PyDelhi Conference 2017 as a development manager and on-site volunteer. I know the commitment that is needed, responsibilities and time and effort that needs to be put in at my end all too well. Being a student it all fits neatly in my schedule as well, just like other times when i am helping other PyCon's. Being an attendee, volunteer, organizer, and even a speaker at PyDelhi meetups and conferences has given me enough experience to work remotely effectively, be humble and lovely to all, share my views constructively and also keep in touch at all times. I hope my age factor doesn't get in the way of this great opportunity to work with the biggest PyCon in the world for a change. I would probably be coming to the conference as well if my application or speaker proposal is accepted. But, no matter what I will be helping out with Open-Spaces the best I can from here.

It's in my plans to go to Pycon in the foreseeable future. Yes, I'm familiar with the open spaces concept. Also everyday I'm more aware of my time limitation, I do take this commitment seriously and as we speak I'm taking a few things out of my table to be more available for this.

I saw a twitter message from Anna Ossowski and Trey Hunner ( https://twitter.com/OssAnna16/status/1093176750715023362) with call for volunteers. I have attended PyTennessee 2018 last year and met both Trey and Anna there. I also attended PyCon 2018 last year and enjoyed it a lot as well as went to multiple Open Spaces sessions following advice from several blog posts (including https://treyhunner.com/2018/04/how-to-make-the-most-of-your-first-pycon/). I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center. I use Python on a daily basis to write and maintain scientific software for the lab that I work for, and for some system administration and for fun as well. Here are my GitHub and LinkedIn profiles if you want to learn more what I do: * GitHub: https://github.com/andreysmelter * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreysmelter/ I am planning to addend PyCon this year and submitted an abstract for the poster session. After attending my first PyCon 2018 last year I thought that I should do volunteering for PyCon and after seeing call for volunteers for Open Spaces I thought it is a great opportunity to get more involved and do something awesome for the Python Community. I remember a lot of people were taking pictures of the Open Spaces board to see what sessions are scheduled. I thought it would be nice to through some simple automation into it: * Create google spreadsheet with available times and rooms. * Create a dedicated twitter account for open sessions if it is not already exists. * Use one of the available python libraries that interact with google spreadsheet (e.g. https://github.com/xflr6/gsheets, https://github.com/nithinmurali/pygsheets) * Have a python script that goes over the upcoming Open Sessions and tweets room number, time and topic. I am happy to help with all tasks specified in the call for volunteer document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cl8eejx6C8rNgSwCvW6ozgt-1F2zQ7NpH1Qr982H7tQ/edit Thank you! -Andrey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?ve helped organize two different conferences in the past, one in tech, including the ChickTech Chicago-led ACT-W conference in 2017. While I?m very involved in R and the R community, as a multi-lingual data science, I?d like to give back to the Python community as well. The PyCon Open Spaces role seemed like a good fit for me. I helped organize a conference in 2011 while in undergrad where I was the hospitality chair, and essentially organized spaces around different LGBTQ identities that is analogous enough to the Open Spaces concept at PyCon that I felt compelled to reach out.

This will be my second year in attendance; however, I think that is an asset to the assignment as I am both eager to learn and be helpful, and without bias or prejudice towards how others may believe things should be. I am an aspiring developer who has been working with the Python language in my current field of work, QA testing and automation. I have been in the field for almost three years, and graduated from college with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. Last year's PyCon was an amazing experience for me. I wasn't listed as a volunteer but jumped in to help at registration, swag bag filling, and several shifts of the PyLadies booth and came away with a mentor and the hopes to help more at future events. This isn't a short-term interest for me by any means; I intend to attend every year that I'm fiscally able to going forward. Thank you for your consideration!

I attended my first PyCon conference last year. Except for the development sprints, I experienced most of the different flavors of the conference - including Tutorials, Talks, the Expo hall and Open Spaces as well as a healthy amount of volunteering (e.g., registration desk, session chair). The entire conference experience was very transformational for me on personal level. I came to PyCon only knowing two of my colleagues who attended with me, but left with many new relationships that have continued to grow and expand since last May. A significant part of that positive experience was the open and welcoming spirit of everyone at the conference whom I interacted with - from the conference staff and speakers to other attendees. Open Spaces embodied that welcoming spirit in an intimate setting. I attended Open Spaces ranging from technical topics on SQL and software testing to sessions focused and non-technical subjects such as career transitioning tips and mental health. I appreciated the diversity in topics as well as the small group setting. Other than the famed Hallway Track, Open Spaces to me are the truly unique part of being in-person at PyCon. To have a hand in stewarding that aspect of the conference would be honor and very meaningful to me. My day job is as a database developer at an accounting firm. I started to learn Python last year before the conference to expand my knowledge set beyond "just" database languages and into something more general purpose. What has made my Python journey more fulfilling are the personal connections that I have made through attending its conferences - first PyCon in May 2018 and then PyOhio this past summer. Given the benefit that I have gotten out attending Python-related conferences, I am very eager to play a role in shaping that experience for others. Hope this helps add a little bit more context. Happy to discuss further. Sincerely, Jason On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 7:14 AM Anna Ossowski wrote: > Hi Jason, > > Thank you for your note! > > Are you familiar with the Open Spaces format?

On Feb 17, 2019, at 4:24 AM, Wattier, Jason Mark wrote: Hi Anna - Thank you for the follow up and apologies for the delay in my response. I attended my first PyCon conference last year. Except for the development sprints, I experienced most of the different flavors of the conference - including Tutorials, Talks, the Expo hall and Open Spaces as well as a healthy amount of volunteering (e.g., registration desk, session chair). The entire conference experience was very transformational for me on personal level. I came to PyCon only knowing two of my colleagues who attended with me, but left with many new relationships that have continued to grow and expand since last May. A significant part of that positive experience was the open and welcoming spirit of everyone at the conference whom I interacted with - from the conference staff and speakers to other attendees. Open Spaces embodied that welcoming spirit in an intimate setting. I attended Open Spaces ranging from technical topics on SQL and software testing to sessions focused and non-technical subjects such as career transitioning tips and mental health. I appreciated the diversity in topics as well as the small group setting. Other than the famed Hallway Track, Open Spaces to me are the truly unique part of being in-person at PyCon. To have a hand in stewarding that aspect of the conference would be honor and very meaningful to me. My day job is as a database developer at an accounting firm. I started to learn Python last year before the conference to expand my knowledge set beyond "just" database languages and into something more general purpose. What has made my Python journey more fulfilling are the personal connections that I have made through attending its conferences - first PyCon in May 2018 and then PyOhio this past summer. Given the benefit that I have gotten out attending Python-related conferences, I am very eager to play a role in shaping that experience for others. Hope this helps add a little bit more context. Happy to discuss further. Sincerely, Jason On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 7:14 AM Anna Ossowski wrote: Hi Jason, Thank you for your note! Are you familiar with the Open Spaces format?

This will be my second year in attendance; however, I think that is an asset to the assignment as I am both eager to learn and be helpful, and without bias or prejudice towards how others may believe things should be. I am an aspiring developer who has been working with the Python language in my current field of work, QA testing and automation. I have been in the field for almost three?years, and graduated from college with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science.Last year's PyCon was an amazing experience for me. I wasn't listed as a volunteer but jumped in to help at registration, swag bag filling, and several shifts of the PyLadies booth and came away with a mentor and the hopes to help more at future events.This isn't a short-term interest for me by any means; I intend to attend every year that I'm fiscally able to going forward.

Before we make a final decision, we wanted to get your input. We are currently torn between three people: * Haley Bear - New volunteer, very motivated and driven, committed to attending PyCon US in 2019, 2020, 2021 * Elizabeth Wickes - Already volunteering for the Education Summit, great leadership skills and drive, committed to attending PyCon in 2019, 2020, 2021 * Katia Lira - Volunteered for PyCon Charlas and as a session runner last year, could potentially help us encourage people to facilitate Open Spaces in Spanish, committed volunteer, already involved in DEFNA, PyCon Mexico, etc. I am pretty confident about Haley as she seems to have great potential and I would like to give someone new a chance. I am torn between Elizabeth and Katia and would love your input. Please let me know your thoughts as soon as possible. I would love to inform people by the end of the week. Trey and I also discussed some potential ideas for Open Spaces improvements, which we would like to propose. It is still a concern that people don?t know that the Open Spaces are happening. Also having to physically walk by the Open Spaces board in order to find out about which ones are going on at which time can be a hassle. We therefore came up with the following ideas: * 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? * Could we add this website link to the printed program? * 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?

So I suggest we make Haley and Katia the official co-chairs. I would like to encourage Joel, Jason, and Elizabeth to volunteer onsite for the Open Spaces, whether that is helping take the board pictures or promoting them in general. They seemed like good volunteers but adding too many people to the team in an official capacity is not a good idea IMO. I will go ahead and send acceptance and rejection emails to everyone now.

We can use a URL shortener if needed, but it'd be nice to have a pycon.org URL if possible. Like pycon.org/os, pycon.org/open, 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 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? * Could we add this website link to the printed program?
