Greg, I'm not seeing my other talk, "Distributing Your Python Code" in
the schedule.  And I might suggest that my talk "What Does This Code
Do?" be placed in the morning as it a guided tour of code fragments and
can act as a tutorial for intermediate programmers.  It is much more a
group discussion than a lecture.  But I defer to your scheduling.

I'm game to meet after dinner and talk tech, assuming people are around
and not falling asleep.
