I had the chance to attend PyCon in Santa Clara last week. It is the world's largest conference for developers and users of the Python language (if you use Google or YouTube popular programming, watching movies Disney / Pixar or actually visit the Guardian, while using the services written in part with Python).

  • related news conference "dongle-gate" widely reported: two male developers sexually suggestive jokes made about "fork" and "dongles" that offend participants woman sitting nearby. She tweeted a complaint with a picture of those involved, one subsequently lost his job. She also suffered the same fate in the next game.
  • Despite this unfortunate incident, there was much to celebrate in PyCon:

The conference was a sale with 20% of the 2,500 participants were women (5% against the previous year).

$ 10,000 was raised through auctions for PyLadies - an organization that encourages women to participate in the Python community.

$ 100,000 was spent by the Python Software Foundation (PSF) in the form of financial assistance. An international group of teachers, developers and educators attended a summit on education.
Each participant received a free RaspberryPi.
