[Texas] New PyTexas website

[Carl Karsten]

Isn't there a test site up somewhere?

For PyCon 2011, there was a checkbox "[x] OK to Video."  I can't find
that in the models, was wondering if it is still in the UI.

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of free time that I can work on
PyTexas stuff, so having the schedule in will be really good.
otherwise it will be Friday when I am waiting at the airport.

btw, you mind re-tweeting this: (and add #pygotham which I forgot)

or any other means of spreading the word.
