It's an idea called the "Human Search Engine" stolen from another conference I go to. At (or just after) a plenary session, when everybody is in the room, you do a quick 15-to-30-minute session. Ask people to line up behind one of the microphones. Each person has 20 seconds or so to make a "search query": to ask the crowd for the answer to a question, help with a problem, a connection to a project or a person they're looking for, something to borrow, etc. (Don't actually take time to let members of the audience explain their answers; just give enough time for hands to go up, contact information to be announced so people can hook up later or hold a BOF, and then move on.) PyCon is now big enough that, with everybody in one room, random queries are fairly likely to get hits. It's fun, it's fast, it gets people the hook-ups they're looking for, and it also gives people a chance to introduce themselves to the community. So, let's give the Human Search Engine a try for next year. (I'd be happy to run it.) - -- ?!ng - ---- rejection notice ---- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 16 15:35:21 2008 Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:48:20 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: For next yaer's PyCon: Human Search Engine You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has been automatically rejected.
