[Chicago] pandas/pydata workshop/sprint proposal

[sheila miguez]

Spiffy, it sounds like more than one (me) person is interested. So I
will say that I can help presuming we have some people helping like
Asheesh or another wonderful person from OpenHatch. He estimates that
the local person who wanted the event spent 20% on organizational
stuff versus 80% on participating, and I can deal with that.

Assuming Redhat is willing to host (They hosted a python workshop for
me and their space was excellent!) then we will have room for aprox 25
people. So, I should figure out pre-reqs for the event. I will need to
talk to OpenHatch folks for a tack on that.

If someone else can do the 20% bit, then we can have this soon
(sometime in January?) if other people are available, else it would be
sometimes in the first quarter of this year (March has Pycon and Pycon
sprints!).
