Openspace classifier challenge

1. Description

Welcome to our openspace classifier!

To get to know each other we developed a program that re-assigns everyday new seats to each colleague in an openspace of 6 tables with each 4 seats.

The program contains the folder 'utils' with following files:

• main.py: Main script which displays the final seat distribution in the openspace office.

• openspace.py: Containing class object Openspace which randomly assigns colleagues to a free seat on a table and returns a plot with the seat distribution.

• table.py: Containing class objects Table and Seat which give the number of free and occupied seats.

2. Installation

This program requires the installation of following packages:

• shapely v2.0.6
• geopandas v1.0.1
• pandas v2.2.3
• matplotlib v3.9.2

3. Usage

How does the program work?

The default setup of the open space is 6 tables of 4 seats (so 24 seats in total).

• The program can take a filepath with an excel file as argument to load the list of colleagues.

• The program distributes randomly the people on the existing tables and displays how much seats are left.

• If the list of colleagues is longer than 24 participants, the program will ask if you want to add another table.

• The program exports an excel file containing the seating plan.

• After initial setup the program allows taking into account extra departures or arrivals.
