Here's the list of stuff we came up with at the BoF:

priorities
-------
1) ability to find usergroups
2) psf offerings / kit
3) comp.lang.local -> maybe keep it on advocacy?  keep it on advocacy?
 organizer list.
4) python.org mailing lists for local groups

Those are the exact notes I wrote that night.  Maybe we could set up
an IRC time to chat about some of this stuff and figure out if we're
all still on the same page?
