As previously announced, we have removed the comment field entries to
make sure that we don’t accidentally leak private information.

A few key points can be extracted from the results:

* the overall conference was a great success
* most attendees (or at least the ones that participated in the
  questionnaire) were experienced Python users
* attendees loved the professionally run venue, the social event, the
  food and drinks
* quality of talks/trainings was good, but could see some improvement
* the recruiting event did not meet expectations and needs to be improved
  for future years
* about 2/3 of the attendees found the conference fee to be good value
  for money, about 1/3 would prefer lower fees
* attendees would like to see the following improvements
  implemented/extended for future years: easy access to SIM cards,
  sponsored parties, workshops for beginners, business session for
  freelancers/projects
* 98% of the attendees are looking forward to EuroPython 2015

We will use this feedback to continue to improve the attendee experience
for EuroPython 2015.
