*Talk Title:* Exploring *more* Google APIs with Python

*ABSTRACT*
Back in Aug 2016 (event <http://meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228209050>,
video <http://youtu.be/MsciHCZVV9A>), I introduced developers to working
with Google APIs using Python, demonstrating code samples for:

   - Listing the first 100 files & folders in your Google Drive
   - Querying YouTube for videos
   - Searching for Gmail threads with at least 2 msgs
   - Reading cells in a Google Sheet
   - Querying public posts in Google+
   - Creating events in Google Calendar

Goals for that session: 1) show it's not as hard as it looks to use Google
APIs, 2) show how several Google APIs work and 3) how to use them. Please
skim the video if you missed that talk, as this month we'll keep the same
goals but continue where we left off to look at APIs that were skipped last
time (or didn't exist yet):

   - "Mail merge" real data into templates w/Google Docs & Slides
   - Formatting cells in Google Sheets
   - Importing spreadsheet data & charts into slides
   - Modifying your email signatures in Gmail
   - Modifying & recurring events in Google Calendar
   - Create Hangouts Chat bots to automate tasks or query for information

Yes, it's true all these are G Suite APIs, but time-permitting, I'll demo
some GCP APIs too, and even more importantly, use both Google Cloud product
groups at the same time to leverage the best of both worlds.
