I'd /really/ like to see a return to the workshop-ish approach for the
YAPyC's.  At IPC10 we pretty much agreed that OSCON would be the big
glitzy affair that mostly replaced/had the style of the previous few
IPCs.  What's missing, IMO is the opportunity for getting stuff done
by putting a large number of Python experts in a room together.

So I'd like to see the emphasis be on working groups, sprints,
lightening talks, etc.  Think: presentation of current work,
discussion of problems, followed by active cooperation to attack those
problems.  We could get a lot done.
