That might work out well. The UW host can arrange content at UW meetings. That might ensure speakers for half the meetings. BTW, we're confirmed for January 14th at the UW? > A warning though: I'm most familiar with the Python happenings at UW. > It would be best to also have someone work to get speakers who has > the pulse of some of the local open source / industry efforts. I can vaguely see a difference between Python interests within the UW and Python interests among the rest of the community, but I'm not sure I can articulate it or recognize what's missing when it's missing. Vaguely I'd say UW speakers tend to focus on more abstract questions, while those outside are more concerned about packages that are vital to our jobs. But of course there are also outside people who design games for fun. So I'm not sure if it's a cut-and-dried distinction, but it may serve as a working hypothesis to start from. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
