A simple voting tool For selecting our favorite PyCon Videos
PyCon is the largest annual gathering for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language. And, it's also a lot of fun!
However, because of the COVID-19 situation this year, we were not able to attend in person.
Many of the speakers at PyCon have recorded their talks and they have been posted by the PyCon organizers online. PyCon posts the talk videos every year -- without hours or days after the talks have been given. The talks this year are posted in the same locations.
But, isn't it funny how we need a little push - an event with our peers -- to see what is available?
The Bay Area Python Interest Group (BAyPIGgies) will be hosting a PyCon 2020 watching party. We will, as a group, review all of the videos that are available. And, then we will vote on the videos that interests us most.
We will watch two of those videos together. At the same time, we will have break out sessions -- with different Zoom and Jitsu meeting rooms to ask questions, discuss videos and have virtual Open Spaces.
Even though we are meeting online, it is important that we keep our Code of Conduct in mind (https://baypiggies.net/pages/code_of_conduct.html). We need to be Open, Considerate and Respectful. This is especially true in our Open Spaces.
