[albany-pm] Hello Albany Perl Mongers

[GERALD ELA]

There are a number of other tech groups in the "Tech Valley" area.  That's how they are promoting the greater Albany area these days.

Tech Valley Mobile Developers Network.  
Albany New York ColdFusion User Group 
Albany UX Meetup 
Build Guild 
Capital District Java Developers Network 
Capital District WebSphere User Group 
Central New York ColdFusion User Group
CocoaHeads 
International Institute of Business Analysis IIBA 
Tech Valley .NET Users Group 
Tech Valley Ruby Brigade 
Webmasters’ Guild 

The mobile group's website is at tvmdn.org and they have links to all the other group's sites.

We also just had a Startup weekend, will have a Bar Camp this Saturday, and will have Techapalooza which is a social event for all the tech groups which will be in Sept.
