When we started our LUG here, we had a lot of thaughts on how to efficiently
promote Python
and attract people to our meetings.

Having a page that gathers good tips from experienced guys that had done
this for years would be
valuable imho. They are many topics that can be LUG-oriented as well:

- How to do/organize a sprint
- How to synchronize the LUG work (like doc writing) with PSF needs
- ...

Yes, I have found and proposed http://www.comboutique.com/ some times ago.
Didn't find any other yet. Anyways, I volunteer to help out on this topic if
you need someone
to set it up.
