I've changed the wiki page into an archive of the event. One thing we're missing is a record of the lightning talks. I've put in an outline of the titles and speakers. Please add any important details such as links or contact info, and a brief summary if you wish.
It was great to see many of you again, especially Steve Howell who co-founded SeaPIG in 2000. I still remember SlidesHowell, a YAML slide generator. SHPAML continues the tradition of Convenience Languages Whose Names Creatively Contain S-H. There was so much going on it filled my brain capacity, and I realized afterward I didn't talk with people as much as I could have, or express my appreciation for their support of the event and their generosity re expenses. One person after another that I've known from the past went up to the podium, and it was great seeing how their Python work had evolved and how they made the talk particularly relevant to the audience. If I didn't say hi to you, it's just because I didn't have enough brain capacity and I got one of my 4pm headaches (which is still going on, ugh), so hopefully I'll see you soon. Re expenses, as several people have asked: yes, all the bills were covered and I had to turn away some donors. Keep it for the next Python event. After PyCon we'll pursue membership in Software in the Public Interest, which will enable us to accept tax-deductible contributions and keep them in a proper account. I'm not sure whether to keep the list of attendees on the wiki or erase it for people's long-term privacy. If you particularly care about it, you can replace your name with your initials.
