Always for anything its smart to start with a budget.
We know we can do a single day event for about 1 L plus, and yes, I know
sponsorship can be raised for the same. We had written commitments for
around the same kind of figure last time we planned a Python conference. A

Unless we get a little more concrete about the PyCon-lite idea that
Ramakrishnan suggested, I think we should move forward with the
September idea. Otherwise, this will degenerate into total "talking

Some timelines and expense estimates would be a good start.

If we actually spend time and energy *organising* a mini pycon, that
will be the end of the real conference I think. I'm -1 for that.
However, putting an extra session during a user group meeting to
discuss the PyCon will be fruitful and will move us towards a
conference. I'm +1 for this.
