What do others think of this? Or are there other models we should consider? The SeaPIG organizers could contact Carter and see what kind of collaboration is feasable. The main issues are making sure we don't lose our community or alienate members, and that it has equivalents to all the wiki features we currently use. This probably means we'd need our own section on the site. Given that Seattle Py (the meetup group) is already on there, we should have at least a presence there to avoid people's confusion. ("Are Seattle Py and SeaPIG the same thing?" "Seattle Py is the only group around.") So how was Seattle Hacks started, and how representative it is of the Seattle developer community? Are there other groups with a similar long history and community as SeaPIG, that have managed to associate with it without losing their identity or cohesiveness? If so, who are they and what kind of association do they have?
