Just kidding. I'm going to make it short and sweet.
PyCon was the best tech conference I've been to. The sense of community that permeated the conference is simply bar none. The emphasis on helping out/charity/education like no other tech conference out there. The sponsor-organized after-parties were a blast and by in large, the talks and tutorials were of great value. As a relatively newcomer to Python, the conference was simply a resounding success, specially when you consider the shoestring budget it runs on and that it is organized and run by small contingent of community volunteers. PyLadies, a women's pythonistas outreach organization, was in large part to thank for a rather sizable female attendance to the conference (about twenty percent). Overall, while it's entirely too early to think about Montreal next year, I'm hoping I'll be able to not only attend but also help the community and organizers in whatever extent I can.
But, I don't want to bore you any further, so below are two links. One is to see the slideshows of the sessions, the other one is to watch the videos of the sessions. Enjoy.
