I've put in for a 20 minute slot request for Pyjion to give the team a mini
version of our actual Python talk to find out if we even have a chance of
getting the C API changes we want merged in. I have no issue talking about
the GitHub transition or about my push for the CoC applying everywhere, but
I'm not sure if (B|L)arry want to give me so many talk slots (I suspect the
CoC bit can be a lightning talk).
