I'd like to invite you, individually and as a group, to PyOhio this July.

------
PyOhio, the first annual Python programming miniconference for Ohio and surrounding areas, will take place Saturday, July 26, in Columbus, OH.

The conference is free of charge. It will include scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, and unconference-style Open Spaces.

To get more information or to volunteer, see http://pyohio.org.

Also, consider proposing a talk! I, for one, would love to learn more about how I can put my Python abilities to work in and for Ubuntu.

Formally proposed talks aside, we're going to have Open Spaces, too, and there simply *must* be at least one Ubuntu open-space session.

Thanks! Hope to see you there!
