as I see it, there are two main groups - developers and undergraduates. We can 
assume that most of the students will be fairly new to python and would 
migrate to the beginner/medium level talks, while the developers will want to 
attend the advanced ones. So if we have a few classrooms available, the newbie 
talks can be held there and the bigger halls kept for the biggies. Some of us 
were discussing this and we would be happy with a classroom where we could 
give several one hour sessions teaching basic python and maybe showing of the 
sexier things like decorators, descriptors etc.
