[Chicago] Help with PyCon Talk Proposals

[Chris McAvoy]

As a total aside, you're also a really fun speaker Feihong.  Remember
that Unicode talk?

You should consider submitting a Unicode talk.  Last year, there was
only one (that I know of) and it was standing room only.  Unicode is
something everyone needs to deal with at some point, but few really
want to do a deep dive.
