You starting rumors? I'm not in Chicago currently.

I'm writing this from a session at PyCon, which began this morning.
First off, I'm not the only Fox guy here. Carl Karsten has been one
of the most active people in the Chicago Python group in organizing the
conference and getting a lot of the technical stuff in place forthe
conference, and he's done an amazing job. Then yesterday I sat next to two
guys who looked awfully familiar; I figured they were guys I met at a
previous PyCon, but it turned out that they were Lauren Clarke and Tracy
Pearson, who are starting to get into this whole Python thing.
What's the most amazing thing is that in an age where technical
conference attendance has been waning across the board, PyCOn is exploding!
Two years ago there were a little over 300 attendees; last year that swelled
to around 600. This year we're right around 1,100 people! Unfortunately,
Paul McNett couldn't make it this year, but to replace him I talked
Rackspace into sending a contingent of about 20 developers. Paul, if you're
reading this, I did have a couple of beers last night with Patrick O'Brien
(another ex-Fox guy).
