The question is what is the interesting Python angle? I did some full
sessions on SCons 2007 and 2008. Most of the time I am plugging
concurrency, parallelism and the "pain in the arse" that is the GIL.
However that fight has been lost as Guido seems committed to the GIL in
CPython, and Armin's experiments using STM are not really gaining much
traction in PyPy or CPython. For the last couple of years I have gone
just as an attender, and person who gets co-opted onto panels. I shtere
perhaps a lightning talk. Preferably something with a serious message
that can be done as a 4:58 comedic piece.
