Pythoneers, are you in? Any objections before I add this event to Calagator?

Thanks for the offer. What would the charges to presenters or attendees
be like? Keep in mind that the group doesn't have financial backing, and
is thus limited by what donors are willing to offer for a good cause.

Would anyone like to present something? For example, one immediately
relevant topic that comes to mind is using PL/Python to write PostgreSQL
functions and triggers in Python. This feature's been bundled with
PostgreSQL for a long time, works great, and -- when compared to
PL/pgSQL -- helps programmers and DBAs write clearer, more maintainable
code.
