It's PyCon India time again!! So exciting, isn't it? PyCon India has provided a platform for like-minded enthusiasts to get together and share their experiences and learnings. We are glad to continue with the tradition of having open space this time as well. Having such talks help attendees learn from other's experiences and interact with more people making the community a vibrant one.

What is an Open Space?

Literally, it's a SPACE OPEN to anyone who wishes to talk about Python. Be it experience, learnings, libraries, tools, frameworks, tests, correct code practices, an idea, a "what-not-do" talk or anything that is about Python.

How it works?

Interested people register for an open space talk. A time slot is allocated, person gives a talk during the alloted time. Audience interacts and discusses sharing their opinions. Such small group discussions mostly turn out to be great.

Why to pre-register?

Just to make arrangements for rooms, projectors and other such requirements. On-spot registration is also allowed provided there is time slot availability.
