Re: [Evangelism] Postmortem for WPD
Thanks, Nate. I was not aware of that feature--it looks pretty cool. I'll be sure to try that the next time I'm requesting info. As it stands, we now (WPD+4) have 15 responses out of 60 WPD venues. 493 confirmed attendees. That's an average of almost 33 attendees per venue. If one extrapolates to 60 sites, that's 1972 visitors(!). Largest event so far: 128 people attending the WPD at Brasilia, Brazil. (Tip o' the hat to whoever added the summary formulae to the spreadsheet.) Any way you slice the numbers, WPD was a success, especially considering it was our first go at this. For those of you who hosted an event and haven't submitted results, kindly see http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=py-ZRibpWMZXMgI9P-XXweghl=en. We're accumulating some really useful textual lessons-learned as well as raw attendance numbers. Karl Nate Aune wrote: Karl - do you know about the forms feature that is new with Google Spreadsheets?

I'd be up for a chat session and could rope Vincenzo into the call too since I'll be at the Bolzano sprint this week. If you have data you want me to capture in a survey or a spreadsheet please feel free to send my way. We have #'s from the eventbrite.com site, a paper sign in sheet, and a surveymonkey.com survey that has responses to your questions. We have a bunch of blog posts and some numbers floating around the web, let's gather them all in one document.

We were fortunate to have $100 in food/drink donated by Wingware. They also donated 3 licenses to their WingIDE Pro software as giveaways ($395/each value!) and some really cool balsa airplanes. Thanks Stephan! We had all the attendees compete for prizes (t-shirts and books) with an airplane toss which was a lot of fun. See photos here: http://flickr.com/photos/tats/3011735820/in/set-72157608746461707/ For example, I posted on a forum at LinkedIN and received and email from Steve Holden asking why we didn't contact Python Software Foundation (and he blogged about the fact that we didn't contact them) so we need to check into various related organizations that might be interested in participating and document them. Yes, we definitely need to notify the Python and Zope foundations to see if they can help with promotion. We know better for next time. Maybe best if we just do it on Open Plans Wiki?? Yeah, I recommend making a lessons learned from WPD2008 page in the Plone-marketing area on openplans.org.
