[Texas] last minute speaker cancellation, looking for replacement

[Brad Allen]

Tyler Hobbs has stepped forward to give a presentation which he has
given before, called "Cassandra for Python Developers", by Tyler
Hobbs. For those unfamiliar, Apache Cassandra is an open source NoSQL
database that's been very popular lately, and Tyler maintains the
Python client for it here: https://github.com/pycassa/pycassa.

I think this talk will be very interesting, and is going to create a
very tough choice for what to attend at that Sat 3pm time slot!

Regarding the web framework shootout, maybe we can do an open space
for that. It looks like we are getting an extra room...
