PyCon 2020 Question? Open an issue!

[jeffbass]

PyCon 2020 is happening Online because of the COVID-19 crisis. I am one of the speakers who was supposed to give a talk. I was, of course, planning on 5 minutes of Answering Questions at the end of my talk. Here is an alternative. I'm proposing a new "post an issue to pose a question" method -- right here, in this yin-yang-ranch GitHub repository. You'll need a (free) GitHub account.

My PyCon 2020 talk title: Yin Yang Ranch: Building a Distributed Computer Vision Pipeline using Python, OpenCV and ZMQ

My PyCon presentation video: PyCon Video My PyCon slides: PyCon Slide Deck How to Ask a Question about my talk in this GitHub repository:

1. Click the Issues tab. (2nd tab from the left on main repository page)
2. Click the green "New Issue" button
3. In the Title area of the New Issue page, put a SHORT version of your question.
4. In the Text area of the New Issue page, put a little more about your question. Click the green Submit new issue button
5. I'll reply fairly quickly; you'll get an email from GitHub letting you know I've replied.
6. This is Open Source! If you can help with an answer to a question, post a comment in the question's issue thread. You may have a better answer than I do. Thanks!

[Please Remember to Be Courteous. Also, please Stay on the Topic of my Talk. Thanks.]

Thanks @Wolf-at-SO . Great idea! What I did was post a comment under the video that links to this repository, with the comment text being:

Hi, I'm Jeff Bass, the author of this talk. The yin-yang-ranch repository for Questions about this presentation: https://github.com/jeffbass/yin-yang-ranch. Open an issue to Ask a Question!

I will ask the PyCon volunteers organizing things to add this line to the video description itself, but they are really busy right now, so I'll wait for a bit.
