[Pycon-openspaces] PyCon US Open Spaces Co-Chair Volunteer Opportunity

[Anna Ossowski]

Hi Andrey,

Thanks so much for reaching out to us! 

Are you planning on attending PyCon US 2020 and 2021 as well? 

I appreciate your ideas! Btw, we already do have an Open Spaces Twitter bot <https://twitter.com/openspacesbot>.

Looking forward to hearing from you again!
Anna

>    * Have a python script that goes over the upcoming Open Sessions and tweets room number, time and topic.
