I suppose it might catch a few people who might be persuaded. Incidentally, the KDE/GNOME lovefest (they finally decided on a joint developers' conference) starts right after EuroPython, and there could be a few undecided people, or people who bailed on that conference and are looking for something else to do at around the same time. > - Should we use the publicity channel also to make awareness for > sponsors, i.e. including that in the call for participation? I'm not sure how well this has worked, but some regular sponsors do seem to read the normal mailing lists. > - Do you want me to change: http://www.europython.org/Planning/Publicity > so that it is workable (for me) and reflects the current state? Sure. At some point, I'd like to have an archive of the current site, especially if there are major changes planned and parts of it will go away. You should take a look at the volunteers page and the planning category on the Wiki: http://www.europython.org/Volunteers http://www.europython.org/CategoryPlanning To make things easier, it's a good idea to see what was done before. > - Do you want non electronic promotions to be send out to like posters? > Is it even worth it?

I've sent mails with my own address on in the past. Generally, it doesn't appear to be a problem, and it's perhaps a bit less impersonal than some generic organisers' address might be. > I would like to get a bit of wiggle on since the first announcement is > so far planned in less then two weeks.
