This is going to be fun... A ruby powered app used to manage a python
conference, where we will have talks (most probably) on various python
frameworks...

 For all the problems listed against fossconf app are *fixable*. These are
fairly standard problems with the development of any new project. If last
time's efforts spoiled publicity, we have time in hand right now, we can
start fixing problems from now. As for app crashing, we can have more than
one admin to take care of the app.

 I think using a ruby powered app, for a python conference is like slapping
python on face. Will Drupalcon guys  ever use anything other than drupal to
build drupalcon site and sell tickets ? Will Ruby guys use a non-ruby app to
host rubyconf?
 If we dont have any agreeable pythonic app, just put moin-moin wiki and
create a page where attendees can add the names.

 I don't know about others, but I for sure will not be buying a ticket for a
python conference which uses a non-pythonic app for registration process.

regards
Vivek
