Good question, I think because the point is to create a "user group feed".

As an individual, I'm starting to think about joining Planet Python for
Python-specific posts. But I'd join the "Happenings in Python User groups"
planet to post PUG-specific things. Again, I don't want to step on
http://python-groups.blogspot.com/'s (and Jeff Rush's) toes. I'm just trying
to figure out a way to make it easier for me to post, and hoping that will
make it easier for others too.

I think I posted once,
http://python-groups.blogspot.com/2008/12/zpugdc-dc-python-meetup-december.html.
And it looks like posting is down about this year, with only 7 posts in
2010.

I picture a link to it fitting in well in the "Other Python Planets" section
here: http://planet.python.org/.
