[Events] Boston Python Workshop 2 staff meeting

[Jessica McKellar]

Hi folks,

I should clarify that I mean a physical meeting, likely in Central or
at least on the Red Line, as that has been convenient for most people
for previous meetings. (Speak up if it needs to be elsewhere for you
to make it)
