[Baypiggies] North Bay Python/Django Group?

[Neil Davenport]

Hi to all,

It sounds like we have enough interest to go ahead!

To summarise we have:

   - A google group -
   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/northbay-python
   - A meetup account (thanks Glen)
   - A first speaker (thanks Simeon)
   - A venue (for a small group at least)
   - And some attendees.

I've registered the domains northbay-python.com/net/org and will be hosting
a very rudimentary WebApp there in the next few weeks to allow people to
propose and vote for upcoming talks.  I'm not sure if this duplicates
functionality in Meetup.com but it's a Django app that I have lying around
so it's pretty easy.  I'll put the code on Github so that anyone that wants
to improve on it can.

I'm sitting at SFO right now so will be out of contact for a while but I
wanted to capitalise on the momentum.

Kind regards,
Neil
