Thanks for taking the lead and initiative on this.
I just paid for my PyCon registration, and I will be there for
tutorials through sprints.
I will also volunteer for pre-tutorial setup. Environment setup
has been a problem. I think that there should be pre-requisites:
* have previous web application development experience in any
programming language
* installed the latest Python 3
* created a venv
* installed Pyramid into the venv
* created a "Hello World" Pyramid app
The last 4 items are documented.

Although this isn't necessarily the target audience, I thought
I'd open it up for discussion here. At the last two PyCons I
did a half-day intro to Pyramid under Python 3 tutorial. In
fact, I pitched at those interested in web development under
Python 3 first, with Pyramid along for the ride.
The signup numbers were good the first year, then lower last
year. I am thinking about adding something to attract interest.
IIRC, the previous two years were targeted toward beginners or "non-experts".
When I do meetups and lead tutorials on getting started with
Pyramid, only about 10% of the users have Python 3 already
installed. I think that putting Python 3 in last year's pitch
brought down the number of signups.
Lately I've been doing a lot of frontend development: AngularJS
talking to a REST API in Pyramid. Which also means the modern
frontend toolchain: npm, bower, grunt/gulp, with
Karma/Protractor for testing. Do you think I should submit a
tutorial proposal that is frontend+REST in nature?
I think this would be more attractive than Python 3. It has
that "Whoa! How'd you do that?" potential. I like to see how
other people go through their workflow when developing web apps.

As an aside, once I get caught up, I'm going to start an RFC
here about the tutorial in the docs.
