#2Sounds fun, but can anyone shed some more light on the event? Why Miami? In what ways does PyCodeConf plan to differentiate itself from PyCon US?

#3There doesn't seem to be any useful information at this link, just a date and location. Searching for pycodeconf on DuckDuckGo yields no results.

Just location, date and general topic... yeah, that's not useful :-).
It's not in your search engine because @github just tweeted it an hour ago or so ago.

#5I would like to see a map showing the distribution of professional Python programmers across the US. Either a) the conference is supposed to double as a vacation to Florida, or b) there are more southern and east coast Python coders than I know about and this location is actually convenient for most of them.
It makes me sad that I would have to go to Florida just to attend this thing.

Yes, Miami, is not a techhub by far isn't.
Then every conference should be in your backyard right? (I take you live in the bay area). I find your opinion very selfish. You guys have conferences all the time, we (I live in Miami), never. Having this conference in my backyard is cool because I'd get to meet more programmers (I'm being selfish too).

As a guess, it's probably the same reasons medical conferences are in places like Hawaii.

Well, there are other options on the East Coast. RTP, for example has a fairly large tech scene, but doesn't host many large tech conferences. And it's within driving distance of Miami.

Sure, maybe we are both being selfish. But even if we take our selves out of it, I think it is better for the conference overall if more professional programmers can attend -- which is an argument to make it easier for the most programmers to go.

PyCon US is funded by, and run by the Python Software Foundation, is over 10 years old, and runs for almost two weeks if you count sprints. pyCodeConf is a different animal entirely.
I say this as the chair of PyCon US for the next two years, I also think that pyCodeConf may be for-profit, but I'm unsure.
For more details on PyCon management/etc, you can see: http://jessenoller.com/2011/05/25/pycon-everybody-pays/ which I did recently.
