[EuroPython] NEW HOME PAGE - PLEASE LOOK!

[Tom Deprez]

Ok,

I added some text on it (I took it shamelessly from the codeur.org site) =
and
removed the cartoon.
Let me know what you think.... Of course we need to add some design to it.
Eg a nice looking font for the quote.

(Sorry, haven't read: "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug, yet.... I'm
already stealing some time of my regular work)

Regards,
Tom.
