I like the idea of rehearsals because well prepared talks will benefit PyCon overall.
Attendance on rehearsal night is (as always) voluntary anyway. Those worried about spoilers are free to skip it. I suggest to proceed. Best, Oli On 12/06/15 17:12, Javier Candeira wrote:
Yeah, I'm actually starting to sour on the idea. Maybe doing this would spoil Pycon by giving it seconds...

I suggest we make it into a showcase of things that one doesn't know how to present, because if we try to give the full talks, we'll be there forever. I mean, the one I wanted to rehearse is a 90 minute tutorial, I was already planning to move through slides fast, skip jokes, and just ask the attendance what they thought appropiate as audience fill-in coding activities. Otherwise, even if your talk is a 30 minute talk, and the rehearsal is about getting the timing right, we're already at 2.5 hours minimum.

As for the venue, I would like to propose Teamsquare in the CBD. It is a Co-working space on 520 Bourke and the owner is happy to host our event free of charge. There is plenty of space, a projector, a podium, and proper chairs (as opposed to the beer benches we had in Inspire 9 last year...). I have put in a tentative booking us. Please let me know if I should finalise it. Best, Oli On 12/06/15 08:57, nathan.fagg...@gmail.com <mailto:nathan.fagg...@gmail.com> wrote: I am keen to attend.

Thanks for taking the initiative on this. Count me in for a talk rehearsal too. Monday 27 July works well for me.
