Offer of space: Jane

[andymckay]

The vanpy user group needs space to meet up and chat, so we are always on the lookout for a space. You could offer space for one event, or ongoing.

If you are filling out this form with an offer to host an event, a big thank you from the organizers. We need your help to make this happen. 🙇

What we need to know

Please replace the bits below with your information 👇

• Who: Jane
• Contact info: @andymckay
• Where: 500 - 138 13th Street East, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7L 0E5
• When: With enough notice, probably most of the time. Contact @andymckay.

What you as the organiser needs to know
We are just a bunch of amazing people who want to hang out and talk about Python. As such there's not much we need, but do need you to check off the following are all cool: 😎

• A space that is welcome to all people of gender, nationality etc please see our code of conduct.
• Space for people to sit, usually 12 - 50 (depending how many people come).
• Easyish for people to get to (Vancouver and downtown, near public transit for example). Admittedly not on the Skytrain. But there's a bus straight up from the Seabus. Understand that driving to North Van can be problematic sometimes. Bridges and all that.
• Good wifi for presentations and demos and so people can join remotely.
• A big screen we can connect a laptop to for presentations and demos.
• Washroom access.

If you are company sponsoring the event by giving us some space, thank you. If you are hiring, or have a specific tool people might be interested in, then we can give you a slide or two or a minute or so at the end of the talk. That's cool by us.

Things that we can't do: 😭

• Sign non-disclosures or other agreements to hang out there.
• Any sort of insurance requirements.
• Pay for things.

Additional context

Wed, Oct 25th might work for the first one.

We had a few meetings at Jane, but now that I'm no longer working there, that's a little harder to figure out and we'll need an ally there to help us out.
