#acl All:read * 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. * 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. * 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") ---- CategoryPyConPlanning
