Simon willison's keynote was the best talk of this pycon so far for me.

Yeah, even digging out useful TKinter features.
People are perhaps afraid of chairing HallC #pyconus? Even at the last moment the chair space was not filled. Volunteered for it 2 afternoons.
You have to go to the green room, take a board with "5 minutes" and similar on them.
Then before each talk, you advice speakers on timings, questions and if they are comfortable if the chair shows the time remaining cards.
I usually ask them about their backgrounds to better tune the intro.
Previous experience watching panels and the like as well ...
