[Events] Next steps for "Boston Python workshops"

[Asheesh Laroia]

So, first of all:

For context, I and Jessica McKellar and Christine Spang and Deborah Nicholson 
are planning to make a Boston event kind of like the "San Francisco Ruby 
Workshops" that you can read about at http://sfrubyworkshops.com/.

Format
------

Friday night, pre-event: We help the attendees set up laptops.

Saturday, all day: Attendees

The four of us talked a week ago, and came up with these...

Next steps
----------

* Jessica figures out what dates work for the Microsoft New England Research & 
Development Center ("MS NERD").

* Jessica emails us about the visual programming thing she thought might be 
cool.

* Spang emails us more about why Snipdom might be cool: http://snipdom.net/

* Decide a weekend to run the workshop on.
** This require a poll, so I'll send this out just after this email.

General notes

Asheesh talking at Python Meetup group
* -> schedule this talk!

      (editor's note: this took place on Wed Jan 19)

Jessica can provide Friday laptop setup helpers

Asheesh can try to find more teachers

Deb can help set up laptops. Asheesh suggests she full-on attend the Saturday 
workshop.

Jessica suggests staggered setup on Friday, in part to avoid overwhelming the 
helpers.

Asheesh can try to get in touch with other people who ran similar workshops.

Pre-Friday, Jessica points out we should have a run-through of what Friday 
setup will be like, so our teachers know what to expect.

What kind of programs do we want people to write?

* Asheesh says, web apps!

* Jessica suggests something visual.

* Christine points to snipdom.
