I've noticed that this perlmongers group doesn't seem to really get much activity, if any activity at all. Now, I don't know about you, but I find that a crying shame. After taking a decent break from perl due to some personal issues, I'm busy reimmersing myself in the culture, and I know it would be nice to have a group of people who grok perl local to my area, so, for those of you who still get these and read them, why not get this started up again? I must also confess an ulterior motive, as there's a rather influential developer who is coming to Austin next year, and if we can get this PM group up and running again, then hell, we can organize meetups and such, and help initiate new people into the perl lifestyle. But in the same vein, I can begin organizing a talk and conference with this guy, as well as a few other folks that I know would love to give a talk. There's always the YAPC's, but, who wants to wait for a conference when we can have our own meetups? Austin deserves a perl culture, a perl lifestyle. Let's give it one!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Gary, I used to love the Perl monger meetings here in Austin. There were always very interesting presentations and discussions. Unfortunately there were a couple of scheduled meetings where no one else showed up. It was at a time when it was very difficult for me to make the time to attend. I lost interest. It seems like most of the people I knew who were interested in Perl either left the area or became more interested in Ruby. I've been learning Ruby. The problem I'm having is with versions and gems versions. RVM looks easy on the surface, but then everything seems to break - especially on deployment. I don't ever remember having that problem with Perl. Want to see a well run user group? Go to the Austin PHP meetup. I'm not a fan of PHP, but those guys run great meetings. The presentations are excellent. One of the groups leaders, Logan Lindquist, takes videos of all the presentations and makes them available online. There are raffles, prizes and beverage subgroup meetings! It would be great to once again have Perl monger meetings. Count me in and let me know if there is anything I can do to assist.

We got the idea from Perl's new release manager process, which in turn got it from Parrot. In Perl/Parrot, each monthly release has a separate "release manager" that is responsible for the tasks associated with that month's release. The procedure is all well documented, so someone just volunteers for a month, follows the steps, and a release comes out. In the user group scenario, each regularly scheduled meeting has someone volunteer to be that meeting's "coordinator" (or whatever you wish to call it). That person is responsible for arranging a speaker or event, making the meeting announcements, etc. for the given month. The meeting manager can *be* the speaker, but isn't required to be. And of course the manager can delegate out as desired/necessary. The whole point is that the work of setting up a meeting (or release) doesn't fall to the same person month after month after month to the point that he/she burns out or runs out of ideas. Also, having more managers brings more ideas and improvements into the process. It's worked reasonably well at the UG that I attend; perhaps it can work for you as well. Lastly, I'd be happy to come down to Austin sometime and give a presentation. :-) Hope this helps, Pm From fluhmann at gmail.com Thu Jun 21 10:18:54 2012 From: fluhmann at gmail.com (Jeremy Fluhmann) Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:18:54 -0500 Subject: APM: Activity?
