Why sponsor PyCON 2004?

PyCON 2004 is a community-oriented conference. There is no exhibit hall, and product placement in talks is discouraged. The conference has a strong technical focus, and thus attracts key players in the Python community, from industry, academia, non-profits, etc. Sponsors have in the past participated for one or more of the following reasons:

Increasing brand recognition among Python community in specific and open source community in general
Recruiting top technical talent
Helping foster the growth of Python
