Maciej,

Thanks for the invitation! I'm actually taking a sabbatical from
conferences (I'm probably going to speak at PyCon in a couple months,
but that's my last one for a while). I'm just too worn out from all of
the travel. I did five international trips this year and got sick
every time. :/ Maybe in 2014, though—keep me in mind! :)
