[Baypiggies] PyCon in SF

We don't have a food schedule lined up yet, but I am imagining there to be a
food table that people can grab food from during the breaks. Around lunch
time we'll need to keep maning the table and bringing food in.
The same for snacks during the day
And finally something for dinner in the evening..
Again, the whole idea of this is to spark off that creative energy in all of
you. What do *YOU* think? It won't work without involving you and getting
something that will work creatively for everyone.
