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.

Mailing Lists

pyohio mailing list, for announcements only: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pyohio

pyohio-organizers, for all sorts of planning discussion: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pyohio-organizers

Cost

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

Planning Resources

Schedule

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

  • Keynotes
  • Standard talks, 50 minutes
  • Open Spaces
  • 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?

Announcement Text

After-party

Don't look at me, I'm a nerd. But it is a possibility...
