My last day at PyCon was Sunday, March 16th 2008. I was one of the unlucky who had work the following morning. This day just seemed rushed to me, which is probably why I learned the least.

The first Plenary was Making Client-Side Python Suck Less with Aza Raskin. It was about Mozilla to some degree, but Raskin focused more on making Python into an easy-to-update program. It was a call to arms to make “freezing” your Python applications easier and the whole update and pluggability of said programs easier. His main idea can be summed up in this quote “Python needs to be a platform”. He didn’t really give any ideas on how to accomplish this though.
