+PyCon 2012
+==========
+
+So, PyCon happened. This was the biggest PyCon ever and probably the biggest
+gathering of Python hackers ever.
+
+From the PyPy perspective, a lot at PyCon was about PyPy. Listing things:
+
+* David Beazley did an excellent keynote on trying to dive head-first into
+  PyPy and at least partly failing. He however did not fail to explain
+  bits and pieces about PyPy's architecture. `Video`_ is available.
+
+* We gave tons of talks, including the `tutorial`_ and `why pypy by example`_.
+
+* We had a giant influx of new commiters, easily doubling the amount of pull
+  requests ever created for PyPy. The main topics for newcomers were numpy and
+  py3k, disproving what David said about PyPy being too hard to dive into ;)
+
+* Guido argued in his keynote that Python is not too slow. In the meantime,
+  we're trying to `prove him correct`_ :-)
