I offer further encouragement.

I'd also like to submit a proposal.

It's good to have it be a "track" because in my mind what
that means is we won't schedule the Python in Education
talks in parallel, which means, whether I present or not,
if I'm there (as I hope to be), I'll have a reasonably
good chance of catching these talks without worrying
about a lot of time slot conflicts.

Of course if you get just a whole lot of good proposals,
then parallelism might well creep into the picture.
Oh well.  That'd be a good sign (for the future of
Python in Education), even though it'd be frustrating
to some PyCon attenders.
