Actually, there are quite a few people who use Python without any
involvement in the Python community, even to the extent of being almost
unaware that there *is* a Python community.  That includes ignorance of
mailing lists such as BayPIGgies.  I run into them all the time in my
interviewing.  I was more shocked about that a few years back, but
Python has gotten sufficiently mainstream that many people pick it up at
work now.

Obviously, in the case of Dropbox, the fact that they did a talk at PyCon
means it's a near-certainty that some of them know about BayPIGgies and
likely lurk (or even participate).
