[Baypiggies] Baypiggies Meeting Tonight @LInkedIn - Learning Math and Science Using Python

[James Nicholson]

Thanks for the tip, Don. I'll reach out to them and ask about how they live

It looks like pyvideo.org (where chipy's videos are hosted) is built in
part using Miro Community <http://www.mirocommunity.org/> an open source
framework for building a video sharing website.
