Bibhas,

The python express software is almost there and I can do a demo today. I'm
sure it is going to take off lot of this manual work.

How about having a Google hangout today 8:30PM? I'll a demo of what
pythonexpress can do and we all can see it can be used for running these
python workshops.

Anyone interested to volunteer for PythonMonth/PythonExpress is welcome to
join. Please RSVP if you plan to join.
