Hiya :)

Well, as I went away and offered the welcome to python workshop bof I 
didn't realize I would be listed as the BOF lead, although the nice 
challange this brings in I'm afraid I would like someone who's been 
using python more than a few days to help up, and answer tricky 
questions if they arise.

Moreover, how is BOFs are usually managed? Do I have to be a python 
expert to do it etc? I would be willing to provide the "newbie 
prespective" to python if that's useful. I have also a attached a first 
draft of items maybe pointing interesting points that should be 
discussed in such a BOF.


Any comment is welcomed!

P.S.: if your "Python everywhere" BOF could be done some time the first 
week (when I am attending) that would be great as there is also very 
high interest in those on the first week.
