That would be up to Dinu, who wrote it. v1 (EuroPython 2008) does all the font scaling etc, but has some hard-code bits and pieces. v2 (PyCon UK 2008) is rather more generalised. v3 (EuroPython 2009) should be there. >> 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. > > I was going to suggest naming them according to a pattern or brand, > maybe making them all part of a virtual package, but perhaps it's > better to let them all have their own identities as projects. > > If it looks like they're all part of a larger project, people might > be less interested in working on them, perhaps thinking that there's > some grand design that they have to buy into. I suspect that the larger Python community has little interest in the conferencing system: most seem to take it for granted that we have some grand infrastructure, instead of a few nutters like ourselves.
