I would second that, Vivek. We discussed this in detail, and while you were told that the focus of Freed 2007 would be on end-users, and not developers, there was no suggestion that developers were not welcome. In fact, the attitude we have is that developers have been the lifeblood of ILUG-D events, would be there any way, and we could specifically target them in a future event. As far as the Python sub-conference goes, you were told very clearly from the beginning what we could and could not do. In fact, I feel that I spent a significant amount of my time in trying to get the sub-conference going (the archives of the bang-pypers list is there for anyone to see), and resent your implication that somehow *we* dropped the ball.
