This will be my third PyCon, I was a student when I went to the first and was a contractor when I went to the second. In both cases, I consider the time to be worth the opportunity cost. PyCon lets you peek over the shoulder of all the clever coders you meet, see what they're working on, and get the philosophy behind it. There's nothing nefarious about it, just that discussions are simpler when you're face to face, so a lot of information is exchanged in the halls and during the evenings. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
