To the amazing (and no doubt exhausted) PyCon organizers, This year I ran around 6 open spaces, and they were some of the best I've been involved in, in many, many ways. However, I do have some ideas for making them even better. Figured I'd send them your way while they're fresh. In short: * Whiteboards * Projectors * Sanctioned means to collaborate and keep in touch. An etherpad for shared notetaking and collaboration would be excellent. Google Docs are perhaps a bit too personal (with usernames, etc.) * A schedule gridded according to talk schedules (missing two talks stressed some folks out) I love the way the rooms were physically grouped together. I think this might be enhanced if people had some way of labeling the rooms as the sessions start so people don't have to go all the way over to the board. Paper and markers and tape would be fine. If there's anything I can do to help with this in the future, please let me know. Thank you again for the amazing conference! Mahmoud
