Planning Resources

Brochure

Attendees should get a handout describing:

  • schedule
  • 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
  • library map

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

So far, the following sponsors have (contacted us out of the blue and) volunteered to provide goodies:

Apress will send books and swag

Python Magazine will send magazines and run an online ad

WearPython will send swag

Thanks very much!
