I'll need some time to prepare for it, so it probably won't happen this 
Saturday. I'd like to do it at the GUM next month.

Nothing too big, just enough to give people a taste of it. But unlike 
networking, it's not something that's easy to teach with just a markerboard. 
I'd like to throw some samples together, maybe provide some links to online 
tutorials. Your call, but the links we can stick in the minutes.
