The last one was a suggestion "Put word out about shogun/the hackathon (Not least for the NumFOCUS people)". Good point, we actually promised a blog post that when we asked NF for money :) So maybe we can recruit a few more people for writing that.

The group session schedule is computed to be clash free according to everyone’s questionnaire replies. I.e. everyone can attend all the sessions they voted for, see Heiko's schedule notebook and Viktor's PCA extension Correct us if there are any bugs in there :)
