[EuroPython] Barcamp?

[Tim Couper]

Apologies - we all went wandering off into some kind of Monty Python 
sketch ...

We will I'm sure be *very happy* with whatever you'd like to bring to 
lead us in this "Open Spaces","BOF" land. IIRC you should have been 
doing leading a similar event @ PyCon, but had a broken leg; however 
your colleague (I was going to say "stand-in" but that would just lead 
to more jokes..) did an excellent job of providing orientation early on 
at that conference as to what was (or, actually, was not) expected, and 
I'd hope that there would be the early opportunity at EP to do a similar 
short intro. Looking forward to it!  :-)
