[Baypiggies] Writing Titanium Desktop Applications with Python - for May Baypiggies meeting

[jim]

    Dan Roberts has offered to speak on PyPy at the 
May meeting (per my earlier email to the list). I'd 
checked the google calendar and did not see anything 
scheduled for bayPIGgies at that time. 
    What's the interest and how to resolve?
