I heard him at PyCon 2 or 3 years ago. At that point in time my position was that he was bright, could speak well, but didn't really know all that much about Python. He was speaking on 'the language for the year 3000 or some such' and some of the stuff he wanted, we already have. His love of Li

At XML Europe last year, there was a keynote I really enjoyed from Steven Pemberton at the W3C. He's chair of various key W3C committees with an impressive resume. http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/ He was a colleague of Guido's in the early days at CWI (and had photos of both of them with som
