[socal-piggies] AOL's Userplane team is hiring a front-end web developer in Santa Monica!

[Sean Bradley]

My two cents (or less): I think--if anything--announcements like these
provide some valuable "intel" and insight into what other language
communities are doing...  Keeps us Pythonistas on our toes. ;)  For a newb
like me, who does well just to stay on top of Python, it's better than
trawling bulletin boards, reading blogs, going to yet more meet-ups, etc.
 As an entrpreneur: I think seeing what skill sets start-ups are hiring for
now is the surest way to discern where the real edge of progress in the
other community lies.  Hence, knowing that, inspires development or sparks
conversation in the community of developers I live in...  Finally, IMHO,
insomuch as Jathan is a member of both communities, seems perfectly legit
and natural for him to include us in this announcement, no?  (That being
said: I understand well concerns to maintain the relevancy of this group's
list.  It would indeed be a drag if an "onslaught" of non-Python related
material diluted the value / "purity" of this group's list.  Even so: this
is hardly an onslaught.  In that regard, don't know if an "all Python all
the time" policy is better than a more liberal way to manage things...
 Personally: I intuit a more porous and less insular "circle of trust" with
regard to post-able content is smarter long-term...and potentially more
profitable...for all Piggies.

As an aside: as a group, do we have a mission statement or vision statement
or *some kind of *statement somewhere?  Or is the informality what everyone
values the most?
