| Some text appropriate for mailing list announcements: PyOhio, the first annual Python programming miniconference for the Ohio area, will take place Saturday, July 26, in Columbus, OH. The conference is free of charge. It will include scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, and unconference-style Open Spaces. To get more information or to volunteer to help out, see http://pyohio.org. Budget ------ Let's try to avoid having one! If we can get a location for free and turn attendees loose for lunch, we can avoid this headache. |
PyOhio will be free of charge for attendees. If possible, we'll find sponsors to provide lunch and snacks. |
| Line 53: | Line 42: |
| 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. Talks will be 50 minutes each with 10 minutes to move between them. | Detailed schedule will wait until we've received talk submissions. |

| Anyone who would like to schedule a sprint in conjunction with PyOhio should definitely do so! | * Keynotes |

| And let's have Lightning Talks! | * Standard talks, 50 minutes * Open Spaces * Lightning Talks * Sprints? (Potential sprint leaders will need to propose these) |
