Planned for Next Month
- Finish the post on the email project.

Tabled Activities
- We missed our window of opportunity to write about the new PyCon web site. We'll pick it up right after the conference, when the people we need to interview aren't as busy. Engelbert Gruber has prepared interview questions for the post.
