[Events] Fwd: MS Nerd room reservation request for the Boston Python Workshop

[Jessica McKellar]

Hi folks,

Here's Leah's initial response. It's cool that they'd like to integrate this
workshop into their women in technology program. No word yet on availability
for March 4th and 5th, but she proposed the week of February 15th to discuss
the whole concept further. That's later than we'd like for nailing down our
room situation, so I'll try to get an answer on that sooner.
