I was in the audience and was a heavy Python user at the time. As another commenter mentioned, this was during a round of several lightning talks. These talks generally can be about pretty much anything. I don't remember the others, but I definitely remembered this one. At the time, dotCloud had oriented itself as a PaaS that also had first-class support for Python (Heroku was still very Ruby/Rails-focused), so it makes sense that they'd want to show off what they were building at a conference with Python developers.

Wow - really cool you had the chance to see this in person. I didn't know that about dotCloud's positioning...especially given the relative differentiation compared to Heroku in those days. Also, I didn't know about the lightning talks, both of those together make a ton of sense - thanks for sharing your personal perspective on this big moment in history
