A brief history of PySIG (with much paraphrasing): Lloyd asked me if we ought to do python discussions on the DLSLUG list. He had started a Meetup already. I said, "hey, why don't we do a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list and maybe start a Python SIG". After we had that running for a few weeks I announced it to GNHLUG- discuss. Bill Sconce joined and said, "howdy." A few months later Bill said, "I think we should meetspace". And more than three years later PySIG is a vibrant SIG of GNHLUG. I believe the Ruby SIG is doing similarly well, though I haven't made it to that timezone yet. So, which problem are we solving by imposing a regulatory structure on SIG's? Empirically the organic model has proven to be successful. So, let's fix that? -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
