 From the above:

"""
All session presenters whose talks are accepted will receive free
admission to the conference. For each half-day tutorial, the presenter
receives:
     * One night's hotel accommodation
     * Travel allowance:
           o Up to $300 from the west coast
           o Up to $500 from the east coast
           o Up to $800 international
     * Free admission to the conference, including admittance to other
tutorials
"""

So that means that one (or many) of the MacPython developers could get
the trip paid for! I am totally unqualified to give a talk at this
conference, but I would love to see Jack, Bob, Kevin O, Has, Robin Dunn,
(and probably a couple others I'm missing at the moment) give a talk and
increase the visibility of Python on the Mac. Please consider submitting
a proposal.

Here are some general topics they'd like to see that are particularly
relevant to MacPython:

"""
For developers, programmers, and scripters:
     * GUI scripting.
     * Building applications with Unix scripting languages: Perl,
PYTHON, Ruby, and PHP.
     * Integrating AppleScript and Unix scripting.
     * Designing UIs with Interface Builder.
     * Alternative development tools.
