I was at Pycon this week. While I'd like to see no highlighted sponsor talks in the lightning talks (I was bumped partially due to them eating up available time), I didn't feel like the rest of the con was particularly bad. The talks from White Oaks and Google were good keynotes and not at all marketingesque. Will attend again next year. Some brilliant minds running around at that conference. Absolutely no press, which is odd given how many clever things are being discussed.
