With schools giving credits for doing your MCSE, the state of programming
in this country is indeed very bad. Luckily, Sun has come up with the
idea of doing a real developer conference (a novum for the Netherlands),
which was sort of fun to do (www.ideamachine.nl). We could present
a bunch of Python talks next year - the conference is totally marketing
and M$ free, but for the rest most everything goes.
