Okay, ... I'll drop Marilyn a note first.
I may put at least something on the "talk" list to give folks a bit of a heads up (e.g. that we do have a confirmed speaker and such), and aim to get item out on the "announce" list *soon* (today, ... tomorrow; don't want it to wait too much longer).
Quoting jim stockford:
Marilyn's something of a Python evangelist, and I expectshe'll be pushing Python features, trying to seduce the audience into trying Python out. you interested in more info? probably best to email marilyn@deliberate.com but i'm willing to carry hod (contact her, help direct her talk if you guys have ideas...). jim

Well, for 2006-11-21 I don't have precise/specific topic (I'm guestimating Python or programming related, or something along those lines), so this is what I've drafted thus far. If we can get a topic/talk title (it can be something with a fair amount of "wiggle" room) and appropriate blurbs, I can make suitable changes on the description(s) and such (including further changing the web page). Anyway, this is what I've drafted so far for the "announce" list:
