I will be there (invited to reprise my "Idiomatic Python" tutorial
from PyCon), and I'm willing to help with a BoF.  But I don't know how
it should be aimed (newbies, intermediate, experienced, core
hackers?).

The BoF proposal submission has the following fields.  Here are my
proposed answers:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

* Title of proposed BoF*:

Python Birds of a Feather

* Describe the people who would be interested in attending this BoF:

All Python users, those new to Python, and people considering Python.

* Which evenings(s) are you available to host your BoF?

Any (I arrive Sunday, leave late Friday).

* Brief description of this BoF Maximum 50 words, about 7 lines.*

The Python BoF is an opportunity for everyone (beginning,
intermediate, and advanced Python programmers, people considering
Python, and the curious), to get together, meet and ask questions of
experienced Pythonistas, exchange ideas, and experience the friendly
and open Python community first-hand.

* Full description of this BoF Maximum 250 words, about 35 lines.*

(The "brief description" above plus:)

There is no set agenda.  Discussions will go wherever attendees take
them.  Experienced Python programmers are encouraged to attend!

* Anything else we should know about your proposal?

?

Anything to add or change?  Feedback is welcome.
