But it mught be your bosses first choice to send you. Look at it the other way around. Assume you are desparate to learn the Python programming language, and you are not the sort of person who picks things up on your own. Where would you go? At last year's Europython, the section devoted to people who were either new to python, or Zope people who had never programmed before was really well attended. >if you still one is still valuable for PyCon, i'll consider it... i >just wouldn't want to see it cancelled due to lack of >interest/participation. > >just my $0.02, >-wesley Better talk to Jeff about this.
