[Chicago] next meeting

[Atul Varma]

At dinner on Saturday, Fei-han (I believe that was his name--not sure if I'm
spelling it right) mentioned that he would be interested in giving a
presentation on unicode in Python.  In it he would explain Unicode as though
he were talking to a child, where Chris is the child.

At last year's post-pycon meeting, there was some demand for someone to go
over Guido's slides from his keynote.  I'm willing to do that if people are
interested.

I'm also interested in knowing how I can help with Pycon 2008.  One of the
things we discussed at Pycon was the idea of having a "Chicago day" that
encouraged people to go away from the conference venue and travel to the
loop or Wicker Park or somewhere and see what Chicago is "really about".
