So by this reasoning there should have been no "Python UK" conference for the last four years (in case you didn't know it ran as a track of the C/C++ conference, but ths track has now broadened to include all scripting languages). And what about the people who can't get the time and/or money to attend EuroPython? Diversity is good, so it isn't one vs. the other. And the UK really *is* part of Europe (no matter how its politicians behave) :P regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden Recent Ramblings http://holdenweb.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
