| 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. | Our planning notes have been moved to a separate wiki page: |

| Line 62: | Line 118: |
| Attendees should get a handout describing: * what Open Spaces are & how to participate * scheduled talks with their abstracts 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) * a Kinko's (or whatnot) card for our program guides / handouts * Paying for an after-party Publicizing ----------- Announcements should go to: * comp.lang.python.announce * COLUG * Dayton Microcomputer Association * Everybody's blogs, of course * Columbus Ruby Brigade * NOOSS * Ohio State's Computer Group? * Cleveland Flex Users Group * GCPUG * Akron/Canton LUG * Cleveland Ruby Group * .Net / Java Groups? After-party ----------- Don't look at me, I'm a nerd. But it is a possibility... More planning resources at [User Group Support http://wiki.python.org/moin/Advocacy/UsergroupSupport] |
