pyOpensci staff regularly attend community meetings (e.g. SciPy meeting, PyCon US, etc). If the meeting is in person, some of the staff may be in person at the event while the community manager / others might be supporting the event remotely.

### Event documents

For every meeting, pyOpenSci staff should create a Google drive folder located in our pyos-shared drive where meeting documents are stored. These documents may include talk and workshop proposals, attendee signup lists, graphics use in social media and out reach posts and more content related to the event.

Before an event, pyOpenSci staff will make sure this folder is shared and supporting documents are added to it. Often the folder will be created prior to the event to store talk, Bof (birds of a feather), townhall and workshop proposals.

The community manager will manage online “coms” and social media during an event. However it will be important for whomever is attending the event in person to be in asynchronous communication via the pyOpenSci Slack about key activities, findings, new cool things, etc to be posting about, promoting and highlighting.

In some cases an event might “pop up” last minute - such as an Open Space at pyCon. In this case, the person attending the event may want to modify and reuse graphics posted on social media to publicize the event.

To support this case, we should also create an event folder in our online graphics platform, Canva. This eventspecific folder will be where we store all graphics used to promote an event both before during and after in one place. This will make it easier for the person at the event to make a quick change to a graphic, add a room number or a time for a pop up event or change in plans, as needed.

1. A tabletop “card” that says pyOpenSci. You will need 2-3 cards on hand for any event in case participants are spread across a few tables. This card will be important for events like sprints, workshops and open spaces where pyOpenSci has one or more tables in a large room. It will signal to contributors that we are there and help people quickly find us.

* The card should have a qr code that is dynamic (so we can update the url that it points to and reuse the cards). This will allow us to have participants scan the code using their phones, and add their names as participants in the event. Following the event we can then send a thank message to each participant using a mail-merge system.

will this work for events as we will want an event name associated with it but it would be annoying to make a new card for every event? UNLESS we make a bunch at once for all events for the year?

the table top thing looks like this: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5760240/American-Metalcraft-Stainless-Steel-Harp-Style/ (this is better than acrylic because it won't break, but we could do plastic if you prefer).

We are currently pricing out a travel banner, to be used outside a space where pyOpenSci is running a workshop.

An example of the [base/holder for the table top card](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5760240/American-Metalcraft-Stainless-Steel-Harp-Style/). We'll initially test out metal, as they will be less likely to break in transit, however acrylic options are also available.

we'd then print out (and laminate?) some kind of card that has the pyOpenSci logo, website, and a QR code that links to all of our socials//mailing list. this way it'll give people a visual cue as to where pyOS is congregating, as well as the option to interact with us directly.

Cards will be designed and printed, all of which will contain, at minimum, the pyOpenSci logo, website address, and a QR code that links to all of our socials/mailing list. this way it'll give people a visual cue as to where pyOS is congregating, as well as the option to interact with us directly.

Cards will be designed to be printed out on a home printer, or through MOO, and laminated when non-glossy paper is used.
