Abstract:	Data warehousing provides some powerful tools and techniques for doing data analysis and reporting. Specifically, the star-schema (or dimensional) data model gives us a design pattern that supports flexible "slice and dice" reporting. This technique is sometimes misunderstood, making it underutilized. This paper will present the essence of the dimensional model, implemented in Python.

Note: Talk recordings have come from different donors, with different levels of quality. A suffix has been added to the basename of each recording reflecting this. For eventual upload to a repository like archive.org, a formal naming convention has been followed:

pycon-{date}-{track}-{timeslot}-{talkno}-{donor}.mp3

For those who might prefer a more human-meaningful name, the recordings have MP3/Ogg/Flac ID3 information within and a simple python script could rename your collection to something in a {title}-{author} form.
