I think that after the chat we know about which tracks we'll
have. That information can then be moved to the web-site.

As for specific talks: I think we should just give a rundown
of the talk titles (subject to change) and finalize the web-pages
after the first week of May.

Good.

I think you have this backwards: we need to know how many
tracks we *can* run in parallel :-) I think 2-3 tacks in parallel
is a good compromise and fits well with the number of
rooms we have.

What about Strakt ?

I'd suggest to let the press team take care of this and
also to simply assign some work: people in the team have 
committed themselves to help out, so I suppose all you 
have to do, is ask them directly.

And you're doing a great job !

On the EuroPython management in general: I think we need to
have regular meetings with one person of each team reporting to
the others about their activities. Due to the short time frame
we have left (less than two months), we also need to explicitly 
assign work to the teams and check back on them often.
