I've sent a message to the fedora python lists and also to
distributions freedesktop.org list (where a few people from many distros are
subscribed).

I might -- depends on what we can get rolling before then.  Not a lot of
time to get this rolling though.  A lightning talk would be great if we
don't get to the point where we can give a full talk.  If we don't get a lot
setup, I'd still be up for actually coding on infrastructure to make porting
easier/doing porting at the hackfest.
