I was the second time attendee of Pycon. First time I attended in 2012 and second 2014. I am also disappointed with the quality of workshops and some talks being given. With my watch I can say 2012 workshops in Christ were better than 2014 workshops. Talks on Day 2 were better than Day 1 this year...this was the feedback of some of my friends as well who attended Pycon this year. I agree with Noufal than just for the sake of pulling crowd we should not compromise with the quality. I would tell you honest feedback of mine. Paying 1000 bucks for one workshop and then you come to know that's not worth peanuts . Definitely we should concentrate on quality speakers whether be it for intermediates or experts .
[...] Workshops are more complicated since it's an attempt to actually teach rather than to just present an idea. I don't have any concrete thoughts on them. My original thread was focussed on the quality of talks rather than on the workshops. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
