This was (is) an exciting projects in many ways. One is that specs have been changing a lot and are still somewhat changing.
More interesting we started from a position where we did not know each other and, therefore, we did not trust each other. Then we figured out each of us was bringing some unique skills to the table. We started to know each other and trust each other. In the end the registration program is a horrible program (because of the last minute changes in specs and that is solely my fault) but it works flawlessly. In 24 hrs we dealt with 70 registrations, some quite complex (like one person paying for another person, credit cards being rejected, etc) without issuing any ticket. Yarko, Carl, and the PyCon-Tech team did an excellent job. Congratulations. It is definitely important to spread the word. PyCon 2009 may have 9 Django-related talks and 2 TG tutorials, and 0 web2py talks but when they choose a software to handle their money they choose web2py.
