I think we ought to stick with what works. I assumed that this would be the case when I put up the calendar: http://www.europython.org/community/Calendar Apologies if that wasn't the intention, but I think these things have to be decided quite early if they are going to change fundamentally. > The sticking bit is tutorials / unconference / Teach Me X sessions > a) are we going to have them and b) if so when. It might be interesting to have some of that as "bonus material" at the end of the conference. For people like me, sprinting often seems quite "heavy" and something I'm not prepared for, but activities that are unconventional for EuroPython might persuade me to participate in sprints if my enthusiasm is raised (and if I've brought computing hardware with me, of course).
