They will! This year's lightning talks[*] were disappointing because nobody really thought through how having so many more sponsors changed the dynamic. Now we know, and we'll fix it. Jacob [*] Personally, I thought the Sunday talks -- which featured no sponsors -- were quite good. I think attendance was spotty because it was the last day, and because Saturday's talks were so painful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
