[group-organizers] python user group name

[Francois Dion]

That's the if you build it, they will come approach. I started PYPTUG
(it's a constant, so all uppercase :P ), pronounced "pipe tug" (and
which stands for PYthon, Piedmont Triad User Group last month. No
poll, voting etc, I just did it, since there was nothing directly in
the area.
Just created a blogspot web page, a google group, sent a few
invitations. It hasn't been a month quite yet. Next step will be to
promo the group. How do you guys promote your user groups?
