Many of us are arriving early and/or staying on after the conference for a couple of days for sprints or other activities. - Our keynote speakers will be Mark Shuttleworth and Guido van Rossum. Mark Shuttleworth was among others what we think is the first Python programmer in space. He is also is the sponsor of the schooltool project to develop an open source school administration system in Python.
