Guido van Rossum was also funded, but his case falls into a different category (BDFL & keynote speaker). Last year, $2500 was allocated for Guido and $3000 at the conference committee's discretion.

The PSF pays for hotel-provided catering services ($42 per delegate per conference or tutorial day). The PSF pays for hotel-provided wireless networking ($11000 per conference).

The Hard Way with C++ Our first implementation of this schema involved a fractured collection of representations. The XML protocol module had tables describing the serialization and deserialization of XML streams. The storage modules had other tables describing the mapping from disk to memory structures. The validation module had its own tables containing rules about which pr...

However, we lacked confidence that code developed on Windows would work equally well on Mono, and all development would need to actively avoid API that would be missing on Mono. The differences in stability and feature set of the IDEs on Windows and Linux was also an issue. As a result, we looked at other options, including Python. At the time of our investigation, Python ha...

Perl was not considered to be as robust....
