I published first day pictures from PyCon 2007. They are raw, unedited, I didn't put descriptions yet. You can recognize Django guys, people from multiple Python web frameworks, and, of course, the BDFL with OLPC. But why wait for pictures to be prepped? Dig in while they are raw and fresh:
Yes, this is Steve Holden sporting a Django t-shirt.
Update: I added pictures from the 2nd day.
Update #2: I added pictures from the 3rd day. Now I can go and put some names and descriptions like I did last year.

Web 2.0 brought on us an onslaught of new server-side web frameworks, and made it OK to put some code on the client side as well. Yes, I am talking about Ajax. While elements of Ajax were available (and used) for a long time now, 2005 was the crucial year for this relatively old technology fueled by proliferation of modern browsers with proper support of JavaScript and HTML DOM, which, in turn, gave a rise to numerous Ajax toolkits. As always new exciting technology polarizes people — you can find ardent supporters of Ajax and a booing horde of naysayers. The latter crowd points out real and imaginary problems with Ajax. Some problems are real enough but stem from a misuse of the technology. One of them is a performance of a web application. In this article I will show how to improve a performance of a web application with Ajax and how to optimize an Ajax web application. Specifically I will show how to optimize a Dojo-based high-performance web application. I will use Django and Apache as examples of a server environment.
