Yarko/Massimo and web2py community:

This year, web2py will host the (inter)-national Python conference
here in Argentina, using web2conf:

http://ar.pycon.org/2011

Indeed, it is replacing pycon-tech, the django app, that not only was
old, complex and unmaintainable, but also died suddenly (no more
render request, eating 100% CPU, in two different machines and setups,
we don't know why...), so I'm preparing a migration tool to get
attendee and talks information imported into web2py app.

Also web2conf is running for the second year the Free Software
Regional Conferences (where Massimo attended last year):

it helped for the first Ubuntu Conference here in my country:

and is serving 4 Python Days (one currently open, other to come):

http://www.pyday.com.ar/cordoba2011
http://www.pyday.com.ar/catan2011

I'm hosting the code in my clone of web2conf, as I doesn't have access
to the main repository:

http://code.google.com/r/reingart-web2conf/

That is not enough, we cannot upload documentation nor downloadable
files and we cannot use issue tracking system.

I know that PyCon US decided not to use web2conf, and Massimo started
a fork (conf2py) with other goals, but I think web2conf has proven to
be a suitable for at least our conferences style, and, as you can see,
it is not inactive as states the project page.

So please, if you agree, could you give me admin access to main project site:

http://code.google.com/p/web2conf/
