If the Django community is so closed why are over a third of the attendees new to Django? If the community was closed and insular we wouldn't be seeing so many people who are at their first DjangoCon and who are eager to contribute to Django. The current setup is not perfect. The core team, especially Russel, have been very forthcoming about this. They are openly talking about things that need to change and how to change them.
