Leon, As you say, I'm not really the right guy to ask. I did some research and some marketing type activity for the conference, rather than organisation and setting prices. I'm forwarding this on to the Python UK mailing list. I'm sure the right person to ask will be on that! -- John Precedo (johnp(a)reportlab.com) Developer Reportlab Europe Ltd (http://www.reportlab.com) > -----Original Message----- > From: Leon Brocard [mailto:acme@geekflat.org]On Behalf Of Leon Brocard > Sent: 30 March 2003 19:01 > To: johnp(a)reportlab.com > Subject: Python UK conf > > > Hello, sorry if you're not the right guy to ask, but you're > the only email address I found on http://www.python-uk.org/. > > I would love to go, apart from the price. 570 pounds is an awful lot > of money.

Conference marketing
by John Precedo March 21, 2003

March 21, 2003

Ok, this is a summary of some marketing type stuff we've done for the conference in the last few days: We've put up a Wiki to support the conference (http://server.reportlab.com/accu-2003/moin.cgi/) and announcements went out to c.l.p, the europython mailing lists about this (and this list), as well as about the 'getting to the conference on a budget' posting. I also made sure that both the main site and the Wiki were registered with google, Alta Vista, Lycos etc. Oh, and I emailed daily(a)pythonware.com to try and get a mention on the Daily Python URL. Since I wasn't sure what else we could do to publicise the conference, I asked on the marketing-python list about where to market a Python conference. They have suggested the following: * Zope lists - post to zope-announce, at least. * Slashdot * linuxpr.com * emailing an announcement to Stephan Deibel [sdeibel(a)wingide.com]: > If you email me an announcement appropriate for release to the press, I > can send it out to I mailing list that I maintain. It's mostly US press > people, but it's still worth doing as it at least represents more > instances of the word "Python" popping up for the media to see. Does anyone want to take over any of these, or should I go ahead and do it myself? If it's the second one, does anyone have a pointer to the full announcement that went out to c.l.p etc. I tried googling for it, but couldn't find it. This way I could add a link to the Wiki to the end and send it off. Also, has anyone written an actual 'Press Release' that could be forwarded to Stephan, or would it just be another version of the announcement? -- John Precedo (johnp(a)reportlab.com) Developer Reportlab Europe Ltd (http://www.reportlab.com)

Python UK conference Wikki up
by John Precedo March 18, 2003

March 18, 2003

A basic Wikki Wikki is up for the UK Python Conference at http://server.reportlab.com/accu-2003/moin.cgi/FrontPage. Could anyone who will be attending the conference please add their name to the Attendees page? This will be the place to discuss travel arrangements, sort out lifts and ride shares etc. We also plan to have organisation of the various short talks here. And of course since it is a Wikki, if you think of something else that should be included you can add it yourself. -- John Precedo (johnp(a)reportlab.com) Developer Reportlab Europe Ltd (http://www.reportlab.com)
