Awesome, love the PyColorado crew. Emily Morehouse-Valcarcel spoke for our first conference when we met in Vancouver, B.C.
Frank brought up PyColorado. I said whatever I can do to help. Scott Vitale and I have participated in calls with the Capital One lead in their campaign to encourage conferences to go swagless. We want to figure out how conference sponsors can drive booth traffic by offering donations to the Python Software Foundation instead of handing out t-shirts. Eloisa and I will confer after PyCascades concludes and our PuPPy gift to Guido for BDFL retirement event takes place in Seattle on April 2nd. ᐧ On Mon, Feb 18, 2019 at 10:32 AM Uche Ogbuji <u...@ogbuji.net> wrote: > Hi Don, > > We're having a first regional Python Conference for the Rocky Mountains > region this year [1] and would love to learn anything we can from the > PyCascades experience, especially considering you guys seem to have knocked > it out of the park.
