@ Nate

Thanks; I'll add the worldploneday2008 tag to the collection in Diigo. 

At  I have asked for
 to be pinged so I guess
that they'll appear in due course.

If you have data you want me to capture in a survey or a spreadsheet

We have #'s from the eventbrite.com site, a paper sign in sheet, and a  
surveymonkey.com survey that has responses to your questions.

us plan for next time.


We were fortunate to have $100 in food/drink donated by Wingware. They  
also donated 3 licenses to their WingIDE Pro software as giveaways  
($395/each value!) and some really cool balsa airplanes. Thanks Stephan!

might be interested in participating and document them.


Yes, we definitely need to notify the Python and Zope foundations to  
see if they can help with promotion. We know better for next time.



Maybe best if we just do it on Open Plans Wiki??


Yeah, I recommend making a lessons learned from WPD2008 page in the  
Plone-marketing area on openplans.org.

You can still use the form for a spreadsheet that's already been
created. I made one here:

Re: [Evangelism] Postmortem for WPD

[Karl Horak]

Thanks, Nate.  I was not aware of that feature--it looks pretty cool.  I'll
be sure to try that the next time I'm requesting info.  

As it stands, we now (WPD+4) have 15 responses out of 60 WPD venues.  493
confirmed attendees.  That's an average of almost 33 attendees per venue. 
If one extrapolates to 60 sites, that's 1972 visitors(!).  Largest event so
far:  128 people attending the WPD at Brasilia, Brazil.  (Tip o' the hat to
whoever added the summary formulae to the spreadsheet.)  

Any way you slice the numbers, WPD was a success, especially considering it
was our first go at this.  

For those of you who hosted an event and haven't submitted results, kindly
see http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=py-ZRibpWMZXMgI9P-XXweg&hl=en. 
We're accumulating some really useful textual lessons-learned as well as raw
attendance numbers.

If folks have properly tagged them with "worldploneday2008" they
should show up at http://technorati.com/tag/worldploneday2008

Karl - do you know about the forms feature that is new with Google  
Spreadsheets? This might be a more simple and safe way to collect the  
data than having folks edit the raw table cells.
