Agenda
No agenda yet. Suggestions:
- Finishing the theme descriptions in Indico: "education" and "social skills" are missing; "agile" needs reviewing; suggestions welcome about the others.
Promotion: we're on python.org now, but what other channels should be involved? See ["EuroPython/2007/PublicRelations"] for interesting avenues, along with some materials used by the PyCon organisers.
- Sponsorship. Any motion here?
EuroPython sponsorship has become fairly unobtrusive: Web site banners, some promotional activity at the conference.
In contrast, PyCon has maintained the previous "sophisticated" sponsorship plans: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/HowToSponsor
Some resistance to promotional keynotes and lightning talks is detectable in the PyCon feedback: ["PyCon2007/Feedback/Comments"]
- Perhaps a dialogue with potential sponsors is better than the usual bronze/silver/gold categories.
