[Chicago] fishing for talks

[Carl Karsten]

I am OK with dedicating the meeting - it's 3 speakers, so it will be
interesting.  we could give them boxing gloves.  even if they don't
start swinging, it will be fun to watch them try to type.

I personally want to see the PPA talk.  It could be squeezed into 30
min, but that's at odds with squeezing in more content and it would be
a shame to cut Q&A short.

If we pare or pair the full version of it with the Python at MIT it
would be a great meeting to encourage outsiders to come, like the
local Linux heads.
