Hi Matt
Thanks for the quick response. We are interested and I sent your response to the mailing list. Like many groups we don't have a leader but we do have several 'Elder Statesmen' who keep things moving along. Either I will be back to you or one of them will take over and work out the logistics of the invitation.
Drive safe.
Burch

Burch,
Thank you for reaching out to me! It sounds like you have a heck of a lot on your plate as both a professor and running your software company.
It would be great to speak at Omaha Python if you guys are interested. I will be speaking at Memphis Python on March 25 on Github Workflows and at Boston Django in July (topic TBD). What topics are generally of interest to you there? I always prefer to know the audience and talk about something that is specifically relevant in the local community, either Python-specific or otherwise.
Matt

Hi Matt
I am a lurking member of the Omaha Python Users Group. Today, someone in the group posted the thought that we should hold a special meeting and invite you. If you are interested I can certainly forward your respone.
However, I am also writing because while I have a day job as a faculty member in accounting at the University of Nebraska at Omaha – my night job is running a ‘software’ company that is focused on providing the infrastructure for academic and other researchers to collect and normalize data from SEC filings. We have an application and you can find a limited description of it on our website (www.directedgar.com<http://www.directedgar.com>). I will be in Omaha while you are here and if you want a perspective on how Python makes the inaccessible accessible for people like me who have no training then respond. I would be delighted to meet up. Maybe have you over for dinner at the house so my 8 year old can participate in the discussion. I am not very involved in the ‘startup scene’ in Omaha though I know there is a ‘thriving’ one. I am usually too busy just trying to keep my head above water.
Cheers
Burch
