The meetup baypiggies was originally created by Glen Jarvis for the baypiggies users group (<a href="http://baypiggies.net/" title="http://baypiggies.net/" target="_blank">http://baypiggies.net/</a> ) and then handed over to the baypiggies group and thereafter you became involved.

There was no notice to the baypiggies group that the previous baypiggies member wasn't going to renew it, and then it showed up being managed by you with a fee for membership.

While no one will argue that you can create a python meetup in the bay area as you please, we would request that you return <a href="http://meetup.com/baypiggies" title="http://meetup.com/baypiggies" target="_blank">http://meetup.com/baypiggies</a> to the group and we'll take over payment for the meetup.

Please let us know if you agree.

Thanks,
Bill Deegan
BayPiggies member</div></div></li></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll keep everyone up to date as the conversation continues.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Bill</div></div>
