Hello John,
a very nice write-up. Could you post that on the EPC/python.org wiki
somewhere ?
I agree with pretty much everything you've said, esp. limiting
the number of attendees and number of parallel sessions/talks.
Both will likely have a nice side-effect of people signing up
early and speakers submitting their talk proposals earlier
than just before the deadlines.
I wouldn't count on earlier submissions. PyCon accepts only about 50% of
submitted talks and still *most* of them are submitted on the last day.
I know it's a shame to reject potentially good talks (and talk selection
is a difficult process) but I think that accepting a fixed number of
talks will lead to a better conference.
If we tweak the selection process to start at submission
time rather than after a deadline, having a fixed number of
talks would encourage early submissions.
I think that's optimistic. An earlier deadline would encourage earlier
submission but tweaking the process is unlikely to.

I'm not sure how well this would pan out on the quality
scale, but it would make organization easier (room selection,
printing booklets, updating the web site, etc.) and also
provide potential attendees with more incentive to come to the
conference.
