| They did, after all, put this on: http://www.osc.edu/press/releases/2007/python.shtml * Universities * High schools * Library The Columbus Public Library has a very generous policy on letting groups meet: http://evanced.columbuslibrary.org/evanced/lib/roomrequest.asp The only problem is the funny capacity: a 200-seating auditorium (OK but overkill) and two conference rooms (seating 15 and 10). That would suit a single talk track and two open spaces OK, but things would get funny in the afternoon when it's all open spaces. * Private company Anyplace with substantial Python-using population might be willing * Training companies The Cincinnati and Dayton branches of New Horizons have been friendly to user groups; is that true of Columbus? Schedule -------- I suggest one or two tracks of pre-scheduled talks in the morning, with Open Space available outside. The afternoon can be an unconference, devoted entirely to Open Space. Anyone who would like to schedule a sprint in conjunction with PyOhio should definitely do so! Projectors ---------- CatherineDevlin can borrow one from work. Can anybody else? Sponsors -------- Shouldn't be necessary, since we're trying to go without a budget. However, if any sponsors do appear, there are some things they could do for us: * Buying lunch or snacks * Swag or door prizes * Paying for a locale (if all else fails) * Paying for an after-party After-party ----------- Don't look at me, I'm a nerd. But it is a possibility... |
