[portland] farewell Portland Pythoneers

[kirby urner]

Thanks for galvanizing our sleepy town out of somnambulance Brad.

Dallas is definitely a battery charger in this picture, with you a willing
conduit.

I'd be happy to receiving kingly meetup powers on Meetup by default,
should no one else wish that mantle, realizing:

(a) the python.org infrastructure is more official, and I'm not the
king of that (Guido is) and

(b) we want a presence in meetup space for gnubies looking for
Python meetups -- a logical place to look, no doubt about it,
and Dallas keeps a profile there as well.

However, I'm not sure how good I'll be in the long run at not
standing up lonely hearts looking for a snake charmer experience
i.e. that lone coder, just breezin' through Portland, lookin' to
hob nob about special name __rib__ syntax over a Hawthorne
Best Bitter, might find me out of town that week or whatever.

But the infrastructure is sufficiently friendly that I think it'll be
more a distributed community function to welcome newcomers,
and/or it'll be up to at least more than just me.

And I won't be control freaky about it.  If someone else would
prefer this crown, I've got lotsa crowns in my closet, wear two or
three a day some days.  I won't miss this Meetup one.

Thanks again Brad!

Kirby
