I respect that Zed is doing this but I have one question about the post.

'... so that nobody picks on you ...'

This will be my 6th PyCon and I have _never_ seen anyone being picked on. Anyone care to enlighten me? Otherwise it seems like newbies aren't welcome (not true) and can't handle it without a guide.

I have to concur: that's the one bit I disliked about the post. PyCon has always been very, very welcoming and friendly to me and many others.

I would guess he was just being sarcastic.
