Zachary gave me the source files in SVG format along with some 
non-redistributable fonts and some very large PNG files. If you want more 
details, just get in touch with me directly and we can see what can be done.

My opinion about the poster, and I think I've seen the latest version, is that 
it employs a visually distinct design which works well enough without all the 
distractions that people tend to add to promotional conference posters. I'm 
no fan of the Zen of Python (as some people may have noticed), but the design 
works nicely. Perhaps it does look a bit O'Reilly, as someone else pointed 
out, so you might want to tread carefully especially if looking for 
sponsorship from them. ;-)

On the subject of clutter on promotional conference posters, one such example 
that I'm familiar with - and it isn't for a computing conference - has all 
sorts of information on it from deadlines through to keynote speakers, but 
what is most peculiar is that pride of place is given to listing the 
conference chair and his cohorts, making them look like a bunch of 
narcissists.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Paul
