[... Guido invites us to the Python conference ...]

Just an idea -

I cannot attend, because of the distance and the lack of travel funds.
But I would like to.

Frustration and the name of Tim, rang a bell: what if the next Python
conference will have a live web-based side?

The bell rang by Tim is related to the fact that this web-side of the
conference may benefit from Dragon's "Naturally Speaking"  speech-to-text
conversion facilities, and thus provide live news feeds from the conference
and seminar rooms to the web-attendance.

To really organize such a dual-event, that is simultaneously ongoing in a
normal location and over the web, while providing as much as possible
communication and interactivity between the two kinds of participants, is a
huge task.

However, many pieces of the technology exist already and putting them
together is exactly the kind of job that Python handles excellently.

So,
If you are (an) ambitious (company) consider such a
(live-on-the-internet-conferencing) project. You'll definitely get clients.
