    Hmm, seems like this might be a good forum to introduce the
    parallel/async stuff I've been working on the past few months.
    TL;DR version is I've come up with an alternative approach for
    exploiting multiple cores that doesn't rely on GIL-removal or
    STM (and has a negligible performance overhead when executing
    single-threaded code).  (For those that are curious, it lives
    in the px branch of the sandbox/trent repo on hg.p.o, albeit
    in a very experimental/prototype/proof-of-concept state (i.e.
    it's an unorganized, undocumented, uncommented hackfest); on
    the plus side, it works.  Sort of.)

    Second suggestion: perhaps a little segment on Snakebite?  What
    it is, what's available to committers, feedback/kvetching from
    those who have already used it, etc.

    (I forgot the format of these summits -- is there a projector?)

        Trent.
