On the other hand, the number of *additional* people who needs to register 
to make this break even is roughly as impressive, and June 7 is racing
towards us rapidly...

As you suggested, properly announced talks and a detailed schedule will
make it much easier to convince people to attend, and I assume we'll see 
that very soon now.

On the other hand, over 60 talks and (I think) over 50 talkers have been 
listed as approved already. This is really impressing. There are also more 
talks that are as far as I understand approved in practice. 

Compare this with 50 talks at PyCon and 12 (!) talks at the Python 12 (!)
conference.

I'm assuming that EPC will be the largest Python conference to date, measured
both in numbers of talks and in number of talkers. I hope it will also be a 
success measured in the number of visitors. It would be really strange if 
it wasn't, if we just manage to get the message out. This will be a great
Python and Zope conference!

I will at least mail a handful of people who might be interested in EPC,
but might not be aware of it (or might have forgotten about it). If we all
do that, it might help things a bit...
