To date we have less than 50% of the forms for any talks. This despite a massive effort to prevent this. In the end we are doing away with it completely as anyone who does not want their talk shared, should not be giving it at a community conference. I say this as someone who signed the opt-out form for my lightning talk.

Frankly EuroPython should be very different than PyCon US. Having them be the same would be to the detriment of the community. With that said, you should not just toss out an Idea or opinion just because it came from PyCon US. > I really don't think that doing AV recording of the conference > should receive so much focus and volunteer time. > > There are by far more important things to do, where such > volunteer time would be better spent. True, but if you have people who want this bad enough you should not stop them IMHO. Just make sure they know what they are in for. We were not going to do the AV recording, but we had volunteers who wanted to make it happen. The other option was not having those volunteers help out (they were not interested in any of the other work). The end result is they ended up helping out with other things as well and we are better off for having them. > (I know how much work it is to do those talk videos - having spent > many many hours on the eGenix videos last year.) > > -- > Marc-Andre Lemburg > eGenix.com > > Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 27 2008) >>>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ > ________________________________________________________________________ > 2008-07-07: EuroPython 2008, Vilnius, Lithuania 40 days to go > > :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: > > > eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 > D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
