just to own up - of the voting on the web2py design talk, there were several rounds, and the votes were really positive (perhaps I was one of only one or two who voted NO for the design talk).
It boils down to a process of what is there room for, and what will benefit the python community most... that is, it is about picking from a pool of very positively reviewed talks, and I would really drop all the talk about django , voters, and focus insatead on the bigger issue - when "cool things" are done w/ web2py which the python community is interested in, and asking questions about, then THAT application / solution / whatever talk should gain acceptance. AFTER that kind of event, I would expect that a talk about "why is this easier / better / etc/" w/ web2py (e.g. a design talk) _might_ be accepted by the community... As it is, wanting to have web2py talked about (without the equivalent case study of a major thing like the Lawrence Times) seems - to the python community - strange (I think). There are other interesting talks that are rejected even more readily because their impact is thought to be "too new" or of "not enough wide impact". I do not think web2oy is singled out at all. The opinions I expressed are all my own, and do not in any reflect the program committe, etc. Hope this helps give some insight. - Yarko On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 1:38 PM, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > > Follow up... > > The web2py tutorial has also been rejected (it was rejected last year > too). > > There will be be 3 Django tutorials, 1 Pinax tutorial, 2 SQLAlchemy > tutorials, and other 15 tutorials on various topics. > > Last year the open space workedst all right.
