<br>Answer is $$$ is required for funding conferences. The organizers did not find anyone with $$$ who has some vested interest in Python. If they had you'd see Python there. I you look at sponsors of the conference, you can map them easily to talks/topics of interest.<br>
<br>In India for every python developer you can find 5K java developers. As a company CEO will you look at Python or Java, when it is not the decision maker who'll write the code?<br><br>Evangelism is the only answer. Sun had billions to promote Java, and they are(or were) reaping billions out of it. I don't know of any vendor with such vested interest in Python. Till then community (including you and me) need to do the bit, and reduce the gap even it's by inches....<br>

Hi,<div><br></div><div>I received this invite to the Great Indian Developer summit.</div><div><br></div><div>The four day long summit focuses on .NET, Java, Web and other things.</div><div><br></div><div>I am wondering why there is nothing related to Python in this conference. Is corporate computing still only about .NET, Java and Web with ColdFusion/AIR etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Given the fact that almost everything that is discussed here can be achieved in Python, what should be done to bring Python closer to the Corporate guys.</div><div><br></div><div>What can be done about this at our end? I remember having read that Java became 'Java' not just because of the VM concept but also because of the aggressive marketing that SUN did for it.</div>
