[python-advocacy] LinkedIn Python Developers?

[Alvin Wang]

I would link to one person that allows people to see their contacts but I
would not want people to madly invite me.  By adding strangers to your list,
you encourage spam mail from other people that want to connect to
strangers.  The proper way to do use LinkedIn for this is to create a
LinkedIn Group.

That way all members of the group will have a nice python Foundation logo at
the bottom.  We can search each others contacts.  It is easier since you
don't need to invite potentially hundreds of people.  It is also FREE.
