Note that Paul was working on this, and I asked him yesterday already

And some other nice names we may want to include as well. And definitely

I can submit it to some Python and also Zope channels. I'll also ask Guido

talk to for people who want to speak on the Python Language track. I will
try that..

I can't commit to this myself unfortunately, but I'll help with some of the 
writing over the weekend.
