 * Art centers, community centers

    I believe these would all require payment.

We are still investigating venues.

Venue Considerations

  • Room for approximately 100-150 attendees.
  • A single room or area big enough to hold everyone for a [:PyOhio/Schedule:plenary session] or two.

  • Space to break up into 2 concurrent talks of ~50 attendees each, plus 2 Open Space groups of ~ 20 each
  • Wireless! Absolutely crucial if we have sprints, very desirable otherwise

Possible Venues

  • Ohio Supercomputing Center
  • Universities
  • High schools
  • Library
    • The Columbus Public Library has a very generous policy on letting groups meet: http://evanced.columbuslibrary.org/evanced/lib/roomrequest.asp The only problem is the funny capacity: a 200-seating auditorium (OK but overkill) and two conference rooms (seating 15 and 10). That would suit a single talk track and two open spaces OK, but things would get funny in the afternoon when it's all open spaces.

  • Private company
    • Anyplace with substantial Python-using population might be willing
  • Training companies
    • The Cincinnati and Dayton branches of New Horizons have been friendly to user groups; is that true of Columbus?
  • [http://www.oclc.org/conferencecenter/default.htm OCLC]

    • It looks like a nice facility, and it's said they have some Python users. My only worry is that they'll want $, but it can't hurt to ask.
  • Art centers, community centers
    • I believe these would all require payment.
