[Baypiggies] Big changes to the BayPIGgies Meetups

[Simeon Franklin]

+1 to this. IANAL so no idea as to whether there are legal grounds to
complain. But the meetup has no connection to the user group which has been
operating as BayPiggies since 2005 - it certainly doesn't seem right.

If SF Python Meetup can do anything to get the word out I'm happy to help
any way I can. Perhaps we can help sourcing speakers too - we have a 3
person committee sourcing talks now but its mostly Grace Law who knows
everybody :)
