My take is that what we're seeing is the result of consensus that we
want something kind of like YAPC, and we're treading water while we wait
for Guido to tell us what YAS wants from us to get moving.

I think your idea of a web poll is a good one.  I just wonder when the
best time is for it.  (I also think it should require an e-mail address
to prevent ballot-stuffing. ;-)

Let me ask Guido a couple of direct questions: Guido, do you want to be
the point person for YAS (if not, do you want a volunteer for liaison)?
What do you see as the mandate for this list now that we've basically
agreed to the combination of OSCON/Python Conference plus a Python
Workshop?
