Hi Armin,

 Andreas, this tone seems unsuitable to me.  Are you calling the
 organizers of all previous EuroPython conferences childs that can't
 calculate?  Are you calling childish all previous Pythoneers that
 naively expect a similar model in this EuroPython than what they are
 used to?  If you are, you're alienating them very quickly.  You are
 not explaining how previous EuroPythons managed to do it while your
 team doesn't.  I'm guessing that arguments based on the new scale of
 the conference are acceptable, but they need to be presented.

it seems to me that you did not follow this (admittedly very long) discussion. 
The points you raised have been answered already by Andreas and others in 
preceeding mails. I also cannot see how anyone implied anything bad about 
previous conference organizers.

Best regards,
Achim.

 Switch out the burgers with sausages and I was led to believe that this
 happens every October in Munich, although I'm not sure everyone involved
 will be happy when they're told that they have to learn Python. ;-)

I guess the price development of EuroPython attendance is quite below that of 
beer in October in Munich. 

This site has some nice stats - not about Python, though:
