Ah, right, sorry about being vague (that's been known to happen, I'm
afraid).
Yeah, you pretty much figured it out - I was thinking that we might want
to grab an open space for Friday evening, and I wasn't sure which night
we might want to do dinner.
I've put down your suggestion (which makes sense to me) on the wiki page
linked from our entry on the BoF page - the direct link is
http://wiki.python.org/moin/EduPython2008
Everyone who's interested can go there and add themselves to the list
and note any conflicts they know of. Of course further suggestions,
either here or on the wiki, would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Vern
