>> It would be really exciting to do this for Guido's talk on January 23rd<http://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-python/events/138635282/>.
>> Here's what I'd need to make that happen:

>>    having the highest data transfer rate possible. Google strongly recommends
>>    against doing a hangout on air over wifi.
>>    2. A dry run of a hangout on air with Guido (preferably at least one
>>    week prior) to make sure our laptops have the right software and are ready
>>    to broadcast.
>>
>> From past emails, I believe Rachel is our contact at LinkedIn. Rachel, do

>>
>> If someone can put me in touch with Guido (and ask him if he is willing

>> Let me know your thoughts and/or suggestions. And thanks to Glen and
