Question: What about having software like the badge generation as its
own standalone project? I am sure more than just the python community
could benefit from such an application, and having the project
independent of a 'conference core' will greatly help with its
development and maintenance.

At least that is my recent experience with PyCon-Tech. the few spin
off projects are doing great, and I plan on breaking the remaining
pieces into separate projects as well.
The survey application has 4 active developers and is being used on 5
sites, none of which are conference related, the RSS feed manager is
being used by 8 sites that I know of, again none are conference
related, and the list goes on. When these were all part of just the
PyCon-Tech massive code base, I was the only one working on it, and
was ignored as being too big and confusing (both true).

My end goal is now to do away with PyCon-Tech completely.

Just a thought.
