Well, yes, but how should somebody *outside* know that?
To somebody new (press, sponsors, ...) "Conference Team"
just doesn't mean much, I think. But I also have no better
solution to offer.

Right, but then it should be in the announcementm if only as a
figure like 250-350.

Good, but then I see an inconsistency between "EuroPython"
and "European Python and Zope Conference". Ideally, I feel
like it should be "European Python Conference 2002" and 
"EPC 2002" (like IPC10), with some subtitle emphasizing 
Zope like "The first Major European Python and Zope Mee-
ting".
