+Status since last EuroPython
+----------------------------
+
+* 4 releases since last EuroPython: PyPy 1.6 - 1.9
+
+* 1.7x speed improvement overall, lower memory footsprint
+
+* more importantly: we are now reasonably fast on most programs
+
+* packaging: Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Homebrew, Gentoo, ArchLinux, ...
+  (thanks to all the packagers)
+
+* We joined the SFC (Bradley successfully fighting U.S. bureaucracy) and
+  are happy about it
+
+* funding: new model, more than 100'000$ in donations,
+  both from a large number of individuals and a few large companies
+  and the Python Software Foundation
+
+* Windows (but still no 64-bit)
+
+* Jit hooks, JitViewer
+
+* cpyext moved from 'alpha' to 'beta': it runs e.g. a big part of PyOpenSSL and lxml
+
+
+Current problems
+----------------
+
+* still slow warmup time
+
+* calling C is still an issue
+
+
+Future
+------
+
+* JIT backends: ARMv7, PPC64
+
+* numpy
+
+* cffi (google "CFFI 0.1")
+
+* stackless?  Unclear status, but work might get finished
+
+* stm
