Might be worth looking at epdx.com mentorships and see if that's still in use and link to them rather than build a python specific one, especially as cross language mentorship seems particularly helpful. It sounds like a new python website could do a lot to hook python people into the broader portland tech community. And maybe encourage more broadly available resources for the tech community. Could we build something that could run other user group websites if they wanted too? An example : I'm sure everyone here knows of Code Scouts because of Michelle, but it'd be good to link to on the website, and even better if all the user groups linked to it.
