+1 to the concurrency talk.  Also there was discussion of having a
NumPy/SciPy presenter back in April but difficulty in finding a presenter.
Are we still pursuing that? I've got at least one non-programmer friend
(physicist @ LLNL) who would come ...

Someone hinted at this idea earlier, but it might be fun to have an
overview discussion on a bunch of different concurrency techniques. 
We could have a bunch of speakers, each speaking for 15 minutes on a
specific topic.  For instance:

* Processes
* Threads (kernel and green)
* Parallel programming vs. distributed computing
* IO bound vs. CPU bound 
* Asynchronous
* Twisted
* Stackless
* Actors
* Erlang

We wouldn't actually try to cover how to use each of these.  Rather,
the goal would be to explain what it is and what are its advantages 
and limitations.  That'd be a fun talk to give assuming we can keep it
shallow enough to cover everything but deep enough to make sense.

Happy Hacking!
