I'd /really/ like to see a return to the workshop-ish approach for the
YAPyC's. At IPC10 we pretty much agreed that OSCON would be the big
glitzy affair that mostly replaced/had the style of the previous few
IPCs. What's missing, IMO is the opportunity for getting stuff done
by putting a large number of Python experts in a room together.
So I'd like to see the emphasis be on working groups, sprints,
lightening talks, etc. Think: presentation of current work,
discussion of problems, followed by active cooperation to attack those
problems. We could get a lot done.
