get together next Monday (5/10), but I&#8217;ll want to talk about ideas people
have for the group.&nbsp; Being more of a &#8216;social meeting&#8217;
atmosphere, I&#8217;m not sure how much &#8216;getting down to business&#8217; we&#8217;ll
actually get done, but the main thing I want to cover is technical
meetings.&nbsp; It&#8217;s something that can be covered on the list, so it&#8217;s
not that big of a deal, but I want to try to work out a recurring date/time and
get an idea for some technical topics.&nbsp; </span></font></p>

to bring in a &#8216;big name&#8217; or moderately big name here and there.&nbsp;
One of the companies I did contract work for know Allison Randal and said that when
she&#8217;s in the area or doing some work for them, they can let me know and
we can see about getting her to address the group.</span></font></p>

planning on going to YAPC::NA this year?&nbsp; I&#8217;m going to try.&nbsp; It
looks like my only obstacle so far is travel.&nbsp; My wife and daughter would
more than likely be going with me, so I just need to figure out how a
1-year-old will do with the trip. :-)</span></font></p>
