That kind of thing is a little immature isn't it? There are many
speakers who I don't know personally but the ones I do know wouldn't
consider it like this. Most of them give talks because it's PyCon and
because they can share their ideas with a larger like minded crowd. 

The n00bs don't know this feeling which is why this whole evil ploy to
entice them with something more material.

Speaking for myself, I don't have an issue at all. But I'm biased since
I'm heavily involved in organising the conference and want this to
sauced.
