PyOhio, a daylong regional miniconference, took place in Columbus, OH on Saturday, and it was a definite success! We had 9 scheduled talks and 91+ attendees, who seemed very happy with how things went. Since there has never been a general Ohio Python group, this was really bootstrapping a community from almost nothing. It worked! "If you build it, they will come." I'll be thinking a lot over the next few weeks about what can be learned from it. I've promised an article to Python Magazine describing what we did; I'll let you know when it's published. You can also read some of the traffic on pyohio-organizers at python.org, where we're discussing how it went and why. We are definitely making it an annual event. -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/ *** PyOhio 2008 * Columbus * July 26, 2008 * pyohio.org ***
