[Baypiggies] Big changes to the BayPIGgies Meetups

[Glen Jarvis]

We have a meeting scheduled in our normal cycle for 28-Jan. By cross
posting from my business' Python MeetUp, we have 69 people already signed
up at the time of this writing:

http://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-python/events/228104282/

Even if the worst happens to our old MeetUp account, we can create and
build another one fairly quickly. And, by cross-posting and asking others
in our community to do so as well, we should be able to get our old
attendees back and restored pretty quickly.

BayPIGgies has been an institution for a very long time. It has a long and
rich history. MeetUp is a great marketing tool. However, BayPIGgies is not
governed by the tool. Instead we use the tool to reach a large new audience
-- and we still can.

I hope to focus the energy positively on our next meeting. If we  get back
the original MeetUp group, great!  If we don't, I can donate another one --
like I did the original. All can be restored regardless.

We need your help to keep keep BayPIGgies alive and vibrant. Please help me
get the word out for our January meeting.


Kindest Regards,


Glen Jarvis
