Hi,

+1 to Noufal.

I wanted to make 2 additional points.

We are conflating good with advanced and bad with beginners. My question
is: was there a beginners talk that was highly appreciated and was very
useful? A bad talk at whatever level is bad for its audience.

A conference can have two aims: 1) A meeting place for practitioners. 2)
Evangelism . Pycon has a big component of Python evangelism but I think it
might be time to spin that off to initiatives like Python Express and make
the core event more focused. This provides depth to the ecosystem.

What is the growth rate? If the growth rate of Pycon is below 50%, this
means that significant number of people are not coming back. A high churn
rate indicates a problem. Perhaps people are not getting enough value out
of it.

Regards,
Abhaya
