Has the Django-based Indoor Mapping App (c3nav) been showcased at Python events like DjangoCon?

Hi folks,
I recently discovered that the indoor mapping web-app used by FOSDEM and CCC is an actively maintained open source Django app! You can check out the code here:
GitHub - c3nav/c3nav: Indoor navigation for the Chaos Communication...
This app provides indoor navigation for events like the Chaos Communication Congress, offering features such as accessible routing (e.g., avoiding stairs) and a slick Progressive Web App interface. It even allows you to route between buildings on a complex campus, which is amazing for sprawling events like FOSDEM and CCC.
I'm curious to know: Has this Django-powered app ever been presented at DjangoCon or a similar Python-focused event? Even though a tool like this might not be necessary for smaller conferences, it could prove invaluable for multi-track events with challenging layouts.
On a related note, I'm exploring the idea of extending c3nav to include real-time indoor CO2 monitoring for rooms at events, giving attendees more information about room occupancy and air quality. (For those interested, I’ve also written a blog post about indoor CO2 at FOSDEM: link.)
I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with deploying or presenting c3nav at Python events, and whether there's interest in using it in the future.

c3nav: Django-Powered Indoor Navigation
Thanks for sharing this interesting Django project! The c3nav indoor navigation system looks like a powerful tool for large events with complex layouts.
About c3nav
Based on your description, c3nav offers:
- Indoor navigation for events like FOSDEM and CCC
- Accessible routing options (avoiding stairs, etc.)
- Progressive Web App interface
- Multi-building campus routing capabilities
Your Questions
Regarding whether c3nav has been presented at DjangoCon or similar Python events, I don't have specific information about past presentations of this tool at Python conferences. This would be a great question for the Django community forums or the project maintainers directly.
Your idea to extend c3nav with real-time CO2 monitoring sounds like an innovative addition that could provide valuable information about room occupancy and air quality at events. This kind of extension would align well with the project's goal of improving attendee experience at large conferences.
If you're interested in implementing this feature, you might want to:
- Check the project's contribution guidelines
- Look into how the data model could be extended to include sensor readings
- Consider how to visualize the CO2 data within the existing UI
- Explore APIs for connecting with CO2 sensors or monitoring systems
The project being open source makes it a great candidate for such extensions. Have you considered reaching out to the maintainers with your proposal?
