I think this is way cool. I see challenges with timing and the very dynamic nature of room allocations, though.
(very dynamic nature is of course an euphemism) Most helpfull for EP AND the guys from floorplan would be: a) if they can support EP with that floorplan b) be there and present the floorplan system, thereby dynamically updating the floorplan on site. Thatway it could be reasonable actual AND people can learn that the system really works in real world (opposed to some meeting organizers dream where every organizational detail is fixed at some time before it happens :) ) Harald On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Laura Creighton <[email protected]> wrote: > > ------- Forwarded Message > > Return-Path: [email protected] > Delivery-Date: Tue Mar 3 05:48:39 2009 > > - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Casey Marshall <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 11:32 PM > Subject: Interactive map for PyCon 2009? > To: [email protected] > Cc: nassim kammah <[email protected]> > > > Hi Doug, > I saw your contact email listed on the PyCon 2009 and I have some > questions regarding the event & website. > > Nassim (cc'd) and I are co-founders of Floorspan > (http://floorspan.com/) -- interactive maps for indoor spaces, > buildings and conferences.
