All of which is true, except that youa re neglecting to mention the Partners Programme. The only way I could justify going, giving a shortage of money and time, was to treat it as a holiday and take my long conference-suffering wife. However the cost of the PP was far too high, maybe that's what Michael meant by " (when you factor everything in)." best wishes, John -- _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2014 Berlin, 21th27th July EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
