| * Lightning Talks * Sprints? (Potential sprint leaders will need to propose these) Brochure -------- Attendees should get a handout describing: * what Open Spaces are & how to participate * scheduled talks with their abstracts * other conferences of interest - Penguicon and Ohio Day of .NET have already agreed to promote PyOhio in their program guides, and we'll reciprocate 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: * python-announce-list: Done * PyCon blog * COLUG * Dayton Microcomputer Association * Everybody's blogs, of course * Columbus Ruby Brigade * NOOSS * OSU Open Source Club * Cleveland Flex Users Group * GCPUG * MichiPUG: Done * Akron/Canton LUG * Cleveland Ruby Group * .Net / Java Groups? * Rubbercity Perl Mongers?
