The difference (from my POV as the guy who helped plan and run the lightning talks this year and last) was that last year the sponsor talks were at a separate time, and clearly labeled as "Sponsor Lightning Talks". A *lot* of folks still showed up, and they didn't feel lied-to when they got product or company pitches. Jacob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
