>> 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/xflr6/gsheets>, https://github.com/nithinmurali/pygsheets <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 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cl8eejx6C8rNgSwCvW6ozgt-1F2zQ7NpH1Qr982H7tQ/edit>
