amk talks about how the Python Software Foundation is funding PyCon travellers. Since he has opened the door for me to do so, I’d like to say a big “thanks!” to the PSF for helping out with my PyCon travel. Between the conference and the looking-to-be-lively TurboGears Sprint, I’m spending a whole week in Addison, Texas. And, that’s completely on my dime, which is not a very easy thing when you’re still working on getting a business going. Or, that would have been completely on my dime, if the PSF wasn’t generously helping out.
