i think you people have forgotten that there are 50 student volunteers
first few hours ( not more than 2 hours ) majority of them could help in doing registration if necessary
one of our experience ----- for an intercollegiate event with a participation of 3000 participants there were around 50 events with atleast 3 volunteers for each event for registration and other things , we were able to manage doing more than 1000 fresh registration within one hour
well for pycon 2010 if there are 20 student volunteers doing registration at 10 desks in parallel for every two mins, one registration would count atleast 10 / min and may be more if participants have already registered
on an avg if 10 registrations/ min is done , by one hour the registration process can be finished if the expected crowd is not more than 500
This sounds optimistic. We'd need 10 desks that crowd the area and there will be a lot of hustle and bustle. I'm sure there will be spot registrations but anything we can do to avoid that would be welcome. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
