Right now, we don't have enough people RSVP'd to warrant our guest speaker driving in from Philadelphia. (We are expecting about 4 definite plus 1-3 "possible") My suggestion right now is to solicit feedback from the people on the list about when a meeting SHOULD be held, and attempt to reschedule Eric for then. Unless we get a sudden (unexpected) spate of RSVPs, we'll have to cancel the meeting. However, I will post my perl golf notes at some point over the next few days, including the contest rules for the first month. Regards.

(compared to the six or so that have said they work.) Fridays have the advantage that out-of-town speakers are more likely to be able to make it, since it's not a school night... but If we can get more than a dozen people to agree to a meeting, I'm sure we can come up with a local speaker. So, why don't you propose a date/time for the next meeting, and we'll see how many people can make that. Thanks for the interest!

Most of the local user groups meet on the middle days of the week. The groups I know of are group meeting ------------------------------------------- asp.net second Tuesday @ 6 java second Wednesday @ 6 coldFusion second Thursday @ 6 XML third Tuesday @ 6 VB third Wednesday @ 6 I think there is a linux group that meets on saturday afternoons. It seems even geeks have enough of a life that Friday nights aren't a good choice for user group meetings. I wasn't planning to attend Friday because I attend the java and coldfusion meeting and Friday would be the third day in a row. Also most groups meet at 6. Thats late enough that its after work for everybody, but not so late that people can't go to the meeting directly from work. 7 is late enough that a lot of people will not go because they don't want to hang out from 4 or 5 when they get off work to 7. A lot of people may also go home first, intending to go back out to the meeting and then decide they just don't want to go out again after they get home. Expecting a dozen people may also be unrealistic. While a number of the local groups used to get as many as 50 people, I don't think any average much more than a dozen these days. I don't think we ever had a dozen people at a PM mtg before the group faded away and that was at a time when user groups were more popular than they seem to be today. Hopefuly, I'll be able to make a few PM mtgs.

Ended up having to implement a scoring/testing script. New test scrip that only tests 0..6 available. Current leader is our speaker that we had lined up for the meeting we ended up not having. =-) Also, the scores now properly deal with submissions which use command line args (which none of ours have yet), as well as ignoring the newline on the last line of the file. (Which means you can just send me cut and pastes, don't need file attachments to save the missing newline.) Regards.
