Ah, right, sorry about being vague (that's been known to happen, I'm afraid).
Yeah, you pretty much figured it out - I was thinking that we might want to grab an open space for Friday evening, and I wasn't sure which night we might want to do dinner. I've put down your suggestion (which makes sense to me) on the wiki page linked from our entry on the BoF page - the direct link is http://wiki.python.org/moin/EduPython2008 Everyone who's interested can go there and add themselves to the list and note any conflicts they know of. Of course further suggestions, either here or on the wiki, would be appreciated.
