This is great timing after a WONDERFUL effort by the PSF to increase
participation of women at PyCon. For those who didn't go or hear,
attendance of women at pycon this year rose from 1% last year to 10%
this year!! This is mostly due to the extra effort put into
scholarships for women to attend the conference. There was a
noticeable difference and no one was complaining. Yay!
