Long-time users might be aware that Cheetah was originally introduced at
PyCon10 by Mike, Tavis and Ian. 

As I look over my refactoring work for Python 3 support and the progress we've made over
the past few months, I'm wondering if it would be worth "re-introducing"
Cheetah at PyCon 2010 this upcoming February in Atlanta. I lament that Cheetah
has seemingly fallen out of favor among newer Python developers (Django and the
Google App Engine aren't doing us any favors) but I would like to start to turn
that around.

I have a couple of questions for you, delightful members of the Cheetah
community: 
   * Talk proposals are closed currently, but would anybody be interested in
     participating in a development sprint and/or Cheetah meetup during the
     sprint days?
   * Suggestions on how to improve Cheetah's interestingness to the newer crowd
     of (primarily web) developers using Python and other templating systems?
   * Anybody using Cheetah at a corporate level that would consider helping 
     with airfare costs from SFO to ATL? (have to ask ;))

I've not ordered a plane ticket or reserved a hotel room yet, I'm still
determining whether PyCon will be worth the ~$1000 it will cost me to get
there, in addition to the week of vacation time. I'd love to have a good reason
to justify the expense ;)

Interested in hearing how many other Cheetah folks are planning to attend

Cheers,
