Hi, Chad. Welcome to TriPython. You can find lots of information about 
the group here:

http://tripython.org

As I asked you in a meetup message, I am very interested in hearing what 
you have to say about Python and Spark (and hopefully PySpark).

TriPython is a do-acracy. Like Python, we don't ask for permission. Each 
person decides for themselves and does. If you want to give us a Spark 
and Python overview, you can just announce so here. Then we will help 
you schedule and publicize it.

To help schedule your overview, which sounds like a feature length 
monthly meeting presentation (or I would hope it is), you just need to 
let us know on this list which meeting date (that is not already 
scheduled) you would like to claim for your presentation. You can look 
at our meetings page to see that May and June are already claimed:

Would you like to make a presentation at our July meeting in Chapel Hill?

Thank you again for joining and for being so ready to participate and 
contribute.
