It's anybody's guess why they didn't want to be associated with the event (and the other prestigious companies represented)...

"Big Unnamed Financial Institution" Posted Jul 22, 2003 16:31 UTC (Tue) by vsp (guest, #1893) [Link] I thought that companies like that are on the front of courageous moves and pioneering. It's ridiculous that they don't want to even be associated with the event, like it would be a warez conference or something, not a very proud gathering of brilliant minds. They'll probably be loud to announce they run linux when the time comes, but for now they prefer to be in the crowd. It' a shame...

This is apparently often the case with Python, and I can imagine that some organizations would take the same approach to their OS (unfortunately).
