This does beg the questions:

1.  What would BayPiggies, PyCon, PyGame, etc., do differently with a
better understanding of demographics?

2.  Is there a demographic Python wants to capture that it could aim for?

The only demographic consistently raised are highly competent female
programmers that are uncomfortable in other programming communities.
We know we could aim at aggressively recruiting excellent female
speakers, ask our few female members what would be helpful, set up a
female Python professionals social network, etc.  Might be a good time
to raid every good female programmer from the Rails community. (:-)?)

If we need better demographics, we can get them from meetings, the
mailing list, and PyCon.  First, I think we need to understand why we
should get them.

Have a great day!

Charles
