Yes, the keynotes were very boring compared to last year. If there's only one thing ot change, I think sponsorship shouldn't entitle one to a keynote. FWIW, tho we sponsored at a Platinum level from Microsoft this year but we declined to take up on any lightning talks, etc. To me, its worth sponsoring PyCon (just for Python) irrespective of what we get. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
