Subject: [group-organizers] Pycon speakers by region, for dress rehearsals
Message-ID: <4AFEE2AB.2030309@nedbatchelder.com>

Last year, the Boston python meetup had a "Pycon dress rehearsal" night 
for the Boston-area speakers headed  to Pycon.  It was very successful: 
we had three presenters, and our largest attendance in a long time.  The 
speakers had a chance to practice their talk, and the attendees got a 
jam-packed night.  Even people planning to attend Pycon could use it as 
a way to solve the "I want to see two talks at the same time" problem at 
Pycon.

I'm planning to do it again this year, and in preparation, I went 
through the Pycon speakers and organized them by region.  I thought 
other organizers might want to see the list, maybe it will spur them to 
run similar events.  At least it might alert you to active Pythonistas 
previously unknown to you in your neighborhood.

BTW: It turns out we have seven speakers from Boston including a 
keynoter, so I may be doing a Saturday afternoon event to get them all 
squeezed in.

Just wanted to follow up and say that all 3 NYC area presenters were
eager to have a chance to practice their presentation, and all three
said "It will make sure I've gotten my presentation together ahead of
time".  Sounds like a good thing for the Pycon organizers to
explicitly encourage - it would be nice if ned didn't have to scour to
find out the location information, and if I then didn't have to google
to try to scrape email addresses.

Ned - any advice about how to make sure the pycon dress rehearsal goes
as well as possible?

Thanks,
David

It would be very cool if the Pycon submission app automatically 
collected the speaker's home city and their email address.  It would 
definitely make this process easier.

As to the dress rehearsal: I guess I would emphasize the same time 
limits that the real conference will impose, although I was prepared to 
go over on question time, since there isn't really a strict reason the 
next talk has to start on time.  Other than that, just be ready for 
multiple speakers in sequence: A/V has to work, plan a break and maybe a 
snack to keep peoples' energy up.

Subject: [group-organizers] Notes on running a hands-on technical workshop
Message-ID: <4B0C30C0.3060408@invisibleroads.com>

Catherine suggested I post my notes to this list, for those who run 
local user groups or teach workshops.

I drafted some notes on running a participatory technical workshop for 
new instructors.
