[Edu-sig] Pycon 2008

[Andrew Harrington]

Earl, I have already asked about taking my students.

There are likely to be a number of beginner tutorials on Thursday, but
they cost a substantial amount of money.

A bugaboo is the food.  The hotel extracts $65/day/person.  The
single-day registration rate will be at least that much.  There is no
provision for "without food".  Basically, the fees for the conference
are not going into overhead much at all, but to direct costs per
person.

There are a number of talks classified as "beginner", but that
generally means beginner at some module, not total beginner at Python.

Students, like anyone needy, can apply for the limited amount of
financial aid, particularly if they volunteer to help.
