I think it's a great idea. My personal offering is of the Python-useful-even-under-Windows variety, especially WMI I suppose, and to some extent Python-useful-for-database-stuff variety. (My bread-and-butter work is SQL analysis & development). I'd listen to any talks which were going and I'd certainly try to get my colleagues along. If I think of any good ideas for format etc. I'll post them up.
