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.
