A tour of the PyConZA Discord

Discord is divided into groups of channels (categories) as follows:

Welcome

  • The #welcome and #registration-desk registration channels are here.
  • Once you've registered on Discord you can safely mute or ignore these for the rest of the conference.

PyConZA 2020

  • These are the more formal conference channels.
  • #announcements -- important announcements, such as the links to the talks for the day, will be made here.
  • #helpdesk -- if something is not working, this is where to ask for assistance.
  • #video-room-1 -- the official discussion area for things related to talks in the first track (Video Room 1).
  • #video-room-2 -- the official discussion area for things related to talks in the second track (Video Room 2).

PyConZA 2020 Hallway

  • These channels are the hallway track! They're ours to use as attendees and speakers to talk amongst ourselves.
  • We've created a few channels to use to start with, but if you would like another channel here, ask and we'll make one.

PyConZA 2020 Sprints

  • These are where the sprints will take place.
  • As an attendee you get early access to them -- feel free to discuss sprint topics and planning here.

Organizers & Speakers

  • These are coordination areas for organizers and speakers and are invisible to most attendees.
