Just to clear up the subject, I don't think that Python is the enemy either. We already had one Israeli OSDC conference after three YAPCs: http://www.osdc.org.il/ It was successful and very fun. In 2007 we didn't have another one unfortunately, and instead opted for a lower-profile, Perl-specific, one-day and one-track Israeli Perl Workshop. I should note that I was also the one who jump-started the Israeli Python meetings, albeit I passed the baton of chief Python organiser to someone else, who is actually a Pythoneer. I'm not using Python much, so I'm not fluent in it, and so far don't like writing in it too much, but it's a good language and technology. I still think that the "NASA Using Python" thing as presented is misleading. However, this thread gave me a really wicked idea for a parody site (not just of http://www.python.org/ of course), which I'm planning to take forward.
