I hope you'll give the volunteers of this conference the benefit of the
doubt that their intentions were not malicious toward the python community.

I agree that is unfortunate. FWIW my talk on OpenEmbedded will involve a
lot of focus on BitBake, a python-based build tool.
AFAIK the proposal selection process was all volunteer-driven, openly
announced, and anyone could show up and have a role in it. If few of the
reviewers were python people, they might not have understood/appreciated
the proposals from this group.
It sounds like next time it would be a good idea to get some pdxpython
representation on the proposal selection committee, and also possibly
work with them to come up with a way to ensure greater balance with the
technologies represented.
Just some thoughts,
Scott
