Hello Christian,

If you look at the timetable you will see that there is room for this,
marked a Open Space.

Also Bruce Eckel has volunteered to run a panel to explain what a
barcamp is and how to run one. This could start the barcamp sessions
off.

All this would be very helpful because we're having a one day PyCon UK
barcamp on 5th September.

> For those who don't know what a barcamp is: It's basically the same as

Thank you again :-)

best wishes,

John
