One PyCon tradition is leaving blank spaces on the schedule for attendees to fill in with their own events, such as birds-of-a-feather discussions, presentations, or brainstorming sessions. Many open space events are arranged on the spur of the moment at the conference, but you can also start setting things up now. For instructions on how to set up an event in this open space in the schedule, please see the instructions at <http://us.pycon.org/TX2006/OpenSpace>. --amk
