Good point.  I believe CTE (the meeting planner) is going to arrange for this
with the hotel, but I don't know the details yet (time frame, volume).  I will
confirm this.

We can always add a second storage space in the same facility for a month before
PyCon for receiving this stuff.

It's one thing to be a community conference that relies on volunteer help, but
quite another to pack someone's house full of boxes, like Brad's was.  As PyCon
gets bigger, we can and should spend money to avoid these inconveniences.

Right.  The equipment being sent shouldn't fill the storage space; it should
have excess capacity.

Thanks for the info Brad!  I've noted it for planning.
