Which might be okay. We'll have to rethink how to call for workshops. It
might have to have location along with the topic etc. Dates can be
staggered. The workshops might serve as a "run up" to PyCon.

That's true. There will be some drawbacks but I think it's atleast worth
trying out.

My thought exactly. Maybe even two weekends. That way, we might be able
to have more workshops and the logistics won't be as hard as holding the
large workshops which we currently do.

I think so. But we should consider it for next year.
