Good morning! :)

That has already happened, I think — in general, when a committee sends a
rejection, or at least when they follow up with someone who asks about
their rejected proposal, we always mention Open Spaces, Lightning Talks,
and Tutorials as other ways to share with PyCon attendees. I am working to
make that message more consistent each year, and to make sure
communications always include those options.

I was particularly careful this year to mention these consistently as
sponsors and open source projects asked about involvement.

So, I think that you can consider those audiences informed, without needing
a further email spree.

I'm not sure. I have some hours tomorrow dedicated to web site work, so
I'll slate it for then! (Unless Ewa knows off the top of her head? I'll Cc
her on this email.)
