[yt-dev] yt team meeting tomorrow

[Michael Zingale]

HI Britton, I meant to find time to call in, but couldn't today.

But I'm curious -- is anyone going to SciPy next week?  I'm going for the
conference days, mainly to see what others are doing for teaching
computational science / python classes, but it would be nice to get
together with other yt-ers there.

Mike
