PyCon quick update (including Jython interest)

[Ian Clatworthy]

It was a very successful PyCon for the Bazaar community with lots of
people interested. Several people made a point of saying that others had
highly recommended Bazaar to them, and were looking forward to trying it
soon.

Quite a few projects already have many people using Bazaar as their VCS,
even when the official trunk is maintained in other tools.

I also chatted to the Jython guys. They are very keen to get Bazaar
running on Jython and want us to create a page on their Wiki explicitly
listing what features and standard libraries we need from 2.4. Perhaps
the guys working on Java IDE integration could get that communication
process going?

As we often hear, there was high interest in bzr-svn. The 0.48 release
and the rationalisation of file formats so it is supported by the
default format can't happen soon enough.

In summary, it's really nice to have lots of people at a conference so
interested and positive about Bazaar, and excited about the features in
our pipeline. A huge thanks goes to everyone in the community for making
Bazaar what it is today. We have lots of work to do but ought to remain
proud of what we've been able to achieve so far.
