Weekend of 8-9 sept might not work because of DjangoCon/September 3-9, 2012.

Our potential keynote speaker may want to attend that.

Here are the list of weekends.

Sept 01-02: Possible
Sept 08-09: No. DjangoCon
Sept 15-16: Possible
Sept 22-23: No. Ganesh Chaturdi
Sept 29-30: No. Anant Chaturdashi
Oct  06-07: Possible

Since we are already running late, the weekend of October 06-07 might work well.

What do you think?
