@webology @ThePSF Yes, I missed this one too. I didn't see it on the schedule and the next thing I noticed it was sold out.

Is the PSF Members Lunch by invitation in the first place?

hugovk, 1 month ago

@iqbalabd @webology @ThePSF It's on Saturday, 18th May.

It was posted to the PSF Member Announcements mailing list on 18th April:

And Discourse on 29th April:

@hugovk @webology @ThePSF Thanks. Unfortunately that mailing list is private, and I have missed the announcement on Discourse because I wasn't expecting events happening at the conference will be announced there.
I believe it will be helpful if the PSF Member Lunch event is also included in the usual announcement for the conference , since it's also an event at the conference?

@iqbalabd @webology @ThePSF I agree, this is good feedback to send for next year.

As a member you can join the mailing list here.

It is low traffic: two emails this year, four last year. Yesterday they sent info about the PSF board election timetable, also here:

@iqbalabd There should still be places left, see https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/112411779495717071 for how to register.

@hugovk Thank you. I can't finish the checkout and see the error "Voucher SPNS_COMP_M6WSYYJX is no longer available".

I'm assuming that there are no more places then. Anyway, thanks for the help!

@iqbalabd Let's double check with @Thepsf: is it fully booked now?

webology, 1 month ago

@ThePSF Someone on the call passed the secret code.

This is a really confusing and frustrating process, even when you know it's going on. It sounds like a ton of people are getting left out for lack of knowing about it.

@webology Thanks, everyone on the thread, for your feedback! We will take your suggestions into account for next year.

ThePSF, 1 month ago

@webology The good news is that there are 31 seats still available for the Members Lunch. The steps to add it to your registration are a little fiddly, unfortunately, which we hope to improve for next time.

ThePSF, 1 month ago

@webology Here’s how to get a seat this year:

• Go to your PyCon US dashboard (https://us.pycon.org/2024/accounts/dashboard/)
• Click "Add to your registration"
• Click "Apply voucher code"
• Enter the voucher code in the field and click "Apply Voucher Code"
• It will take you back to the add to your registration page, and the Members Lunch option should be under "Available items"

@webology You can find the voucher code & more info here: https://discuss.python.org/t/pycon-us-2024-launches/37740/12

If you are still having issues getting a seat, please email pycon-reg@python.org, and someone can assist you.

We do our best to get any PSF Member specific info out on psf-members-announce, so be sure to subscribe there! https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/psf-members-announce.python.org/

@ThePSF thank you. We got it worked out last night, but my concern is that so many people won't know about it because they aren't on the forum and don't know about the private mailing list to be a part of it.

I passed this along to the other people who asked. Someone said the code was maxed out after a few of us used it last night. I did not double-check, but I assume you are on that.
