Great news!!

One helpful measure to help with this is an idea I discussed with
several people already: make it mandatory for speakers to write
exactly one page of text only describing the topic they're suppos-
ed to present (in advance). It helps conference visitors, non-vi-
sitors as well as speakers to choose and prepare a topic.

Using RestructuredText this is very easy to collect automatically
into some kind of proceedings, thereby adding value, quality and
a souvenir to such events! We can even put it in the conference
brochure, too, which should make it even more valuable as an in-
strument for dealing with PR and the press.

Regards,

Dinu
