 * One person suggested a track at reduced cost aimed at teenagers: ["PyCon2006/TeenagerTrack"]. That's an interesting idea; we could have it on the Friday when attendance is at its lowest, and rustle up speakers on game programming, tutorial topics, and other stuff.  * One person suggested a track at reduced cost aimed at teenagers: [[PyCon2006/TeenagerTrack]].

  • We need a new location.
  • Have a dedicated tutorial track on at least one day. (Perhaps paralleling the open space?)
  • Have a newcomer's track on the first day: intro to Python, PyCon, open space.

  • Make organization of Open Space more apparent.
  • Make SubEthaEdit notes an officially supported thing, and part of the proceedings

  • We should post a list of talks + abstracts outside each room so people know what's going on.
  • Keynote speakers should be relevant to Python.
  • From EuroPython: Have multiple tracks, and track chairs responsible for each one.

  • Pay airfare and/or hotel for some invited speakers
  • Sponsorship: mention that amounts are suggested minimums, not requirements
  • Social events: a game night; a jam session (Barry thinks he can get most of the required equipment, or rent it).
  • Get session chairs to estimate attendance in their sessions (half full, full, near-empty); this will let us calibrate our understanding of what topics people are interested in.
  • Cut down food quantities a bit on the last day
  • Have coffee at lunchtime
  • Advertise conference more to local university students
  • Get projector and run slide show at registration (announcements, lost/found items, open space, etc.)
  • Make lightning talks a plenary session
  • Encourage formal speakers to also do a lightning talk based on their presentation
  • Give sessions titles (e.g. "Web Development", "Networking", "Grab Bag")
