The meetup is run independently by somebody who had a schedule conflict with the SeaPIG meetings. The reason we don't interact with them much is that the SeaPIG organizers just don't have time to participate in another group or coordinate with them, but if somebody else wants to follow up on that, that would be great. The Seattle Tech Calendar is becoming a common place to list Python and non-Python events. There are people from the Seattle Django group and Seattle Plone group and Seattle PostgreSQL group who are also SeaPIG members and sometimes announce their meetings events here. I don't know of any PyLadies group in Seattle.
