Should this be posted somewhere on the website for reference?

>> Since Python is part of a larger Open Source ecosystem, many talks focus on how to use various Python-based open source libraries to achieve something useful. We are also interested in how people are using Python, even in closed source environments, if they are in an interesting problem space, solving some unique challenges, or in other ways providing helpful technical content relevant beyond a specific product. Talks about using Python APIs to major commercial web services are also welcome, particularly if individual developers can easily experiment with the services and some technical insight into the APIs/services is provided.

>> People are coming to these meetings on their personal time and are looking for help in their day-to-day jobs, career growth, or personal enrichment. As such, purely commercial talks given by someone in sales or product management are generally not appropriate for BayPiggies. For grey areas, we will raise the talk subject on the BayPiggies mailing list to gauge the level of interest.
