I'm writing this from a session at PyCon, which began this morning.
First off, I'm not the only Fox guy here. Carl Karsten has been one
of the most active people in the Chicago Python group in organizing
the conference and getting a lot of the technical stuff in place
forthe conference, and he's done an amazing job. Then yesterday I sat
next to two guys who looked awfully familiar; I figured they were guys
I met at a previous PyCon, but it turned out that they were Lauren
Clarke and Tracy Pearson, who are starting to get into this whole
Python thing.
What's the most amazing thing is that in an age where technical
conference attendance has been waning across the board, PyCOn is
exploding! Two years ago there were a little over 300 attendees; last
year that swelled to around 600. This year we're right around 1,100
people! Unfortunately, Paul McNett couldn't make it this year, but to
replace him I talked Rackspace into sending a contingent of about 20
developers. Paul, if you're reading this, I did have a couple of beers
last night with Patrick O'Brien (another ex-Fox guy).
