APM: Activity?

[Jeff Keys]

Hi guys,

I would be interested in trying it. I moved here a year ago from San
Diego where I worked for four years as a Perl developer for CBS
Interactive. I went to PM meetings there whenever I could, though it
was 28 miles in the opposite direction from home. I currently live in
Hutto, next to Round Rock.
