At this time that is all we are asking for to gage the amount of support we
have from local pythonistas.
Soon we will be asking for people to do help out with some legwork,
gathering information.
Ultimatly if the bid is accepted we will be looking for people to step
forward as department heads which require local volunteers (AV Equipment,
and Hotel Liason to be exact) as well as 'grunt' work (if you consider
running the movie night grunt work).

This is a fantastic Idea. One presenter presented two months ago.
I believe he got some very valuable feedback.
