PyOhio is a daylong regional miniconference being planned for the July 26, 2008 at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (map) in beautiful Columbus, OH.
We are very much still in the planning stages, and this page is being used to gather notes.

Cost
PyOhio will be free of charge for attendees. If possible, we'll find sponsors to provide lunch and snacks.

Detailed schedule will wait until we've received talk submissions.

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

- 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
