[group-organizers] Pycon speakers by region, for dress rehearsals

[David Christian]

Just wanted to follow up and say that all 3 NYC area presenters were
eager to have a chance to practice their presentation, and all three
said "It will make sure I've gotten my presentation together ahead of
time".  Sounds like a good thing for the Pycon organizers to
explicitly encourage - it would be nice if ned didn't have to scour to
find out the location information, and if I then didn't have to google
to try to scrape email addresses.

Ned - any advice about how to make sure the pycon dress rehearsal goes
as well as possible?

Thanks,
David
