The post appeared on TurboGears lists as well - but I actually consider
it on-topic. We get enough other conference calls here, sometimes even
without an actual python-track, but instead catering to specific
scientific communities that might or might not use python. 

I don't consider this spam. It is certainly less annoying than the
umpteenth GIL discussion...
