I hope you'll give the volunteers of this conference the benefit of the
doubt that their intentions were not malicious toward the python community.
90 sessions in all and only two that even *mention* Python. Only one
of those seems to actually be *about* Python. Unless you could
Postgres, I guess. Maybe that's two, it's tough to tell.
I agree that is unfortunate. FWIW my talk on OpenEmbedded will involve a
lot of focus on BitBake, a python-based build tool.
AFAIK the proposal selection process was all volunteer-driven, openly
announced, and anyone could show up and have a role in it. If few of the
reviewers were python people, they might not have understood/appreciated
the proposals from this group.
It sounds like next time it would be a good idea to get some pdxpython
representation on the proposal selection committee, and also possibly
work with them to come up with a way to ensure greater balance with the
technologies represented.
Just some thoughts,
Scott
