[TriZPUG] Triangle Python User Group

[Tristan]

I don't know how heretical this might sound against the standard 
pythong logo, but I can imagine (altho not draw) a sort of triple set of 
pythons intertwined in a triangle shape.  Could even leave the current 
pug mascot in the middle as a inside joke.  (Possibly too cheesy) Even 
color each python to certain high profile team colors from their 
respective cities' universities ;)
