You didn't miss much context, just a couple emails between John, David,
Adrian, and myself. I don't know what exactly the format would be for
this, but probably not like a typical ChiPy meeting (which is just a
bunch of us hanging out, with a relatively informal presentation on
something).
We *could* all just hang out, and that would be cool; I guess we have to
decide, and advertise it accordingly.

Well, we've been getting around 15 (?) people at meetings recently. The
Ruby meetup I was at had maybe 15 people, and I think they might have
placed a limit on it. So I dunno what to expect... 40 people? Is there
a space available for that many?

That would be great; Chicago was part of a 3-way tie for first place for
preferred PyCon locations, so if we have the space I think we can get
the conference (in 2007).

October 13 and November 10 are the next (regular) meetings. I don't
think this event will really replace the meeting (unless we decide we're
feeling too lazy to organize both). But that discussion can go in a
different thread.
