[group-organizers] Watch PyCon videos?

[Catherine Devlin]

We've done this a couple times at the Dayton Dynamic Languages meeting,
where it's perfect because it's a very small but chatty group.  A single
30-min video takes us about two hours since we're constantly stopping the
video, saying, "Wait, what?", explaining things to one another, and trying
things out.  If you can get that dynamic going, it's much more valuable
than just watching videos alone.

Good reminder, we should really do this more.
