[Edu-sig] [edupython] Re: Education BoF at PyCon

[Vern Ceder]

Well, I would definitely vote for dinner - those have been too much fun 
in past years to pass up. I personally would be up for a trip too 
Greektown, but it may be more time than some others have to spare.

I also think we should grab some open space time to have a (slightly) 
more formal gathering - we didn't do that last year, since we wanted to 
go to the OLPC gathering, and I, for one, missed it.

So how does Friday evening sound? It looks like we would have the most 
time after the day's formal activities are over. What does everyone think?

Cheers,
Vern
