Yarko, you are misreading this. we are cool. I am in the organizing committee as you are. I do not like the process but I defend it.
No negative comment about Django was made. I actually thanked the Django People who, in fact, gave positive reviews to web2py. The point is not "have web2py talked about". This year we had talks at PyWorks, FISL and SuperComputing. Two of them are bigger conferences than PyCon. It just feels odd that the community that should embrace us the most is the one that one that appears to be the most reluctant to recognize us. I am reporting the facts to the users because they have the right to know. I have more important things to do and I do not wish to continue discussion on this thread.
