From jarich at perltraining.com.au Sun Apr 27 17:31:27 2008 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:31:27 +1000 Subject: [Canberra-pm] PM census & meeting next week? Message-ID: <48151ADF.30902@perltraining.com.au> G'day folk, The next Perl Mongers census is going to happen very soon now ( as announced by davorg http://use.perl.org/~davorg/journal/36252 ) and at this stage it seems likely that Canberra will fall off the list. Your PM Group leader, Jeremy Price, hasn't been responding to email for a while, and his currently registered address with pm.org ( http://www.pm.org/groups/537.html ) is bouncing. So I'd like to propose you meet and discuss whether there is currently a desire for Canberra PM. As a bonus Paul Fenwick is in town next week (Tuesday - Friday) and would no doubt be delighted to catch up with you on the Tues, Wed or Thursday evenings). If we can arrange a venue, he may even be convinced to give a presentation. Should you feel sufficiently motivated to become the new Canberra PM leader, speak up and I'll be happy to help you. You can find most of what you need in http://groups.pm.org/faq.html Being the leader does not require that you run monthly meetings etc, although I encourage you to think about at least 1 per year. ;) You also manage the mailing list dealing with spam and other issues caught by mailman. On the other hand, if you think that Canberra's Perl meeting needs are adequately covered by CLUG and the CLUG PSIG, plus the other programming user groups ( CJUG, .NET and ACTCFUG ) then all is well. :) I'll talk to Looking Glass who are providing our facilities next week and see whether they'd be willing to host a meeting. If you have a strong preference for a weeknight, let me know and I'll take that into account. If noone (or next to noone) responds at all, then I'll assume the list is dead and not arrange anything, so please respond and say something!
