font-family:Arial'>I apologize for not keeping the group going, but I’m
back from Chicago after attending this year’s YAPC and ready to
focus. I’ve made a minor update to the website to state that we
will start having regular meetings on the 3<sup>rd</sup> Tuesday of each
month. I also put up that we still need a meeting location. I
realize that for some people it needs to either be close to campus, or close to
a shuttle bus stop. Worst-case scenario is that I get us a place on
campus, but I’d rather not do that since parking would probably be an
issue (I think it is all ‘pay’ parking). Also, once we can
join the O’Reilly User Group, we should be able to start having “giveaways”
at meetings in hopes to increase interest and attendance. I’ve put
up a section on the website for book reviews. If we can start to get some
books to review from O’Reilly (or any other publishers), then we can post
our reviews there. I’ve also opened up a link to a book
library. If anyone has any books that they’d be willing to either
donate or mark as available for loan, I’ll add them to the list. I’ve
put a few up there that are available for loan. Check out the website at <a

not sure where, yet. I’ll do a brief presentation on this year’s
YAPC and provide links to some of the various resources mentioned, as well as
talk about next year’s YAPC and give an update on the ‘host next
