My bias is towards finding changes which represents benefit and moving 
forward in that direction.

"move forward", funny you should mention that...  Sorry, but forward 
movement has already started.  Point: Google has started video recording 
the technical part of our meetings and their site and will be posting the 
recordings.  Video broadcasting of presentations is synergistic with 
attracting more speakers and having a backlog of quality presentations 
scheduled for our meetings.  Improvised, no-agenda meetings could well be 
history at the Google site.

... and they are going to object to having BayPiggies meetings showcased to 
the entire Bay Area and world?  Somehow, I rather doubt they will stop the 
site from becoming a resource sponsoring quality presentations for the 
entire Python community.

The "change" coming is better planned meetings.  Lead, follow, or get out 
of the way.
