[Chicago] greetings from Oregon (Pycon promo)

[Kumar McMillan]

Hi Kirby.

Thanks for the intro.  Keep an eye on the list; we'll probably try to
organize some kind of ad-hoc meeting during PyCon for out-of-towners
to attend.  If nothing else, there is always beer to drink.  Who will
drink the beer?  ChiPy will step up to the challenge.
