Hi all, A few suggestions... (Take them or leave them!)
Call it a barcamp. "Unconference" is unwieldy. Hold off until September. August is the silly season. Many people will be on vacation. Plus, there will be more time to prepare and promote the event. If the venue has four rooms available, dedicate one to a Python track, one to "other" talks (which could include a showing from Ruby Ireland) and a couple of rooms for "open space" discussions. Seek sponsorship. Every barcamp I've seen has been free-to-attend, usually with oodles of free food funded by the sponsors. Look at the sites from previous Irish barcamps for likely sponsors. Widening the event's focus to make it a barcamp will draw a bigger crowd; it may interest more people in Python; and it's more likely to attract sponsorship. Any other supporters of a "BarCamp Dublin II"?
