Hi all!

So I'll be presenting about my package wordgraph for .. how long? 45
minutes? SNORE!

I think we need to jazz things up a bit. So if anyone has a laptop to bring
along, that would be useful. I'd like to see how many people in the
audience can successfully pull off an install mid-talk. I'll get some
useful feedback, and some of you will hopefully get a working install of
the package. It's supposed to "just work", but I'm struggling with getting
Python 2 and 3 simultaneously tested on travis-ci, so some aspects of that
may have gone on the blink.

As well as covering the "here's what is does, here's who it's for" stuff,
I'm also going to spend some time going through (a) hassles of setting up a
package and (b) an overview of the code and architecture. So bring some
opinions about application design and we can really get into it.

I'm also hoping there's going to be sound available, otherwise my laptop
speakers are going to sound mighty tinny in that big room. It's only a
small part of the presentation, but still.

Also, I'll be pointedly not naming a certain "contributor" who keeps
promising untold functional improvements, and letting you know how you can
get involved if you'd like to. It's not that I expect anyone to help -- but
nobody ever sat *me* down and explained how to actually get to grips with
contributing to something. So even if you're not especially keen on this
tiny application, there might be a few useful words for getting involved
with something that really gets you going.

Also, powerpoint is so late 1800s. But I don't actually know how to use any
other software, so there will be some slides. However, there will be
animations and embedded sounds. I'm trying to figure out how to get the
blink tag successfully integrated.

Anyway, that's all for now, see you on the night!

Cheers,
-Tennessee
