[EuroPython] the python & jython track naming

Hi there,

I think 'Python and Jython' for the thing formerly named Python Hackers
track is a bad name. It implies it'll be mostly about Jython, while
Jython is just one talk in a whole bunch.

I suggest we rename it to something like the "Python Language" track, even
though this describes the contents of the track less well than Python
Hackers. This is after all a track about cool hacks, big and small, 
with the Python language. I won't argue about the PR stuff though, even
though this might educate people on the true meaning of the word 'hacker' :)

Anyway, so let's call it 'Python Language' for now, until a better description
comes along. Can we change this on the published schedule?

Considering the program anyway, we should take a look at shifting perhaps
some talks from 'Python Language' into 'Python Applications'; thus far we
will have more people willing to give talks for the latter than for
the former, and I imagine this will remain the case.

Regards,

Martijn
