[EuroPython] Honesty in Advertising

[Harald Armin Massa]

How can we put this in practice? How do we sanction people for not
submitting presentations before?

I for one am not willing to submit presentations before. I want my talks to
be holistic works of art; 30% of the presentation material being build in
response to the reactions of the audience while presenting, maybe even drawn
on overhead or painted on my body; and I do not want to give "sneak
previews" so that the jokes are discussed before I make them.

I support the "state which kind of software you are talking about";
especially something like:

a) this is a presentation about Open Source
b) this is a presentation about using Python to do something commercially
successfull
c) this is a presentation to make you use something commercially you have to
buy, which should make you happy

Best wishes

Harald
