Just want to introduce myself, say hello and see if there is any activity
here.

I've written quite a bit of perl 5 and am working on (self) learning perl 6
et al. I'm kind of interested in how many local folks are interested in
getting together to share ideas etc. I'm in McKinney so naturally am
interested such meetings as would be nearby.

Hello Mr. Z,

I'm Steven Novakovich in Grapevine, TX.
I would think a logical meeting location would be the approximate geographical center of where all interested parties live/work.
For me, that would be Grapevine & West Irving...

I've been coding Perl for many years, but haven't really started-in with Perl 6 yet.
Would be very interested in advanced Perl 5 topics and intro to Perl 6...

Well, some of us from what we call dallas p6m meet the second Tuesday of
every month at the peet's coffee in Allen.  You guys are free to come there.

We have about 10-ish members and our geographical center has been about
Allen near 75. DFW is simply too large for a single meeting and someone else
has proposed a meeting more in the Irving area in the past (I can't remember
who).

Last year we decided that given the size of the DFW metroplex, DFW.pm would 
serve as an "umbrella" under which smaller groups could meet and coordinate
events.

Currently there's a group that meets regularly on the second Tuesday of 
each month in Allen.  If anyone else can set up gatherings (regular, one-off,
or other) in other locations at the DFW area, it would be very 
well-received and I will certainly make every effort to attend.

Since there's no longer an "official monthly DFW.pm meeting", would there
be any interest in putting together a yearly workshop or mini-conference
for the metroplex?  Traveling halfway across the metroplex is a bit too
much to do monthly, but I suspect many people would make the effort for
a once-a-year gathering.

I'll be happy to do some research on organizing a "DFW Perl Workshop" 
(and to co-chair or chair the workshop, gather speakers and otherwise put 
it together).  The main area where I might need some assistance is in
procuring a venue where we could meet.

If you like the idea of a yearly DFW Perl Workshop, let me know.  
If I don't hear many +1's, I'll assume the idea isn't really that
interesting to people.  :-)

As would I.

Since there's no longer an "official monthly DFW.pm meeting", would there

be any interest in putting together a yearly workshop or mini-conference

I love the idea and would volunteer to help.

My wife and I are leaving DFW. My talents have been retained by
Booking.com and we are immigrating to Amsterdam, The Netherlands at the
end of this month. 

That said, we should transition whatever resources are assigned to me
from pm.org to whomever wishes to hold the scepter.

As soon as someone steps up (I'm looking at you frew), I'll put in the
ticket to get permissions and things moved over.

To the new people that have recently subscribed to the list, welcome!
DFW is a great place for doing Perl work with a rather large body of
Perl hackers (that mostly keep dark both in DFW.pm in the community at
large). I encourage you to bring your enthusiasm to fruition with
contributing and to also encourage your coworkers to contribute to both
DFW.pm and the greater Perl community.

Our mailing list is mostly low traffic. Recruiter spam is generally
discouraged unless you have first hand knowledge of the position. And
all questions from all levels of Perl welcomed as we have quite a few
luminaries among our ranks. 

Thanks for putting up with my complete lack of presence for the last
few months, everyone. I hope to see many of you at various EU Perl
events.

Nick,
It's good to hear that you have found good times and work in interesting
places. What resources do you need to reassign? I'm new so do not know what
responsibilities you have. Perhaps it would be helpful to all if you were to
enumerate them here.

Cheer... and good luck !

Mostly it is informing pm.org who holds the leadership. With that
leadership comes administration permissions to the site and mailing list
(pm.org graciously hosts them).

One of the things I wanted to do when I took the reigns was to make
sure we could transition smoothly between people when it came to
administration of the site and mailing list. Before, the list and site
were mostly in private hands and getting changes introduced was
difficult. So we transitioned to pm.org infrastructure. 

The p6m group has their own google hosted mailing list that they use
(and that frew mostly runs, I believe). That is the main reason I want
to hand off to him. He's much more active and organized than me. 

That said, the site needs work and I unfortunately never got around to
doing it. Life got in the way. While we are transitioning, if someone
wanted to work on the site (just plain HTML since pm.org has no dynamic
hosting capabilities), I would be more than happy to upload the results.

To be honest Switzer (until his recent spawn event) is just as organized wrt
meatspace meetings.  I'm willing to take things for starters, but we should
all talk in person to find out who will really be the best fit for something
like this.

Last year we decided that given the size of the DFW metroplex, DFW.pm would 
serve as an "umbrella" under which smaller groups could meet and coordinate
events.

Currently there's a group that meets regularly on the second Tuesday of 
each month in Allen.? If anyone else can set up gatherings (regular, one-off,
or other) in other locations at the DFW area, it would be very 
well-received and I will certainly make every effort to attend.

Since there's no longer an "official monthly DFW.pm meeting", would there
be any interest in putting together a yearly workshop or mini-conference
for the metroplex?? Traveling halfway across the metroplex is a bit too
much to do monthly, but I suspect many people would make the effort for
a once-a-year gathering.

I'll be happy to do some research on organizing a "DFW Perl Workshop" 
(and to co-chair or chair the workshop, gather speakers and otherwise put 
it together).? The main area where I might need some assistance is in
procuring a venue where we could meet.

If you like the idea of a yearly DFW Perl Workshop, let me know.? 
If I don't hear many +1's, I'll assume the idea isn't really that
interesting to people.? :-)

I'm good with an Allen meetup spot... There are those new 'shops at Allen'
at 75/Stacey which have a few places to meet up.

Does the Allen group have its own website or should I put the meeting 
information up on dfw.pm.org?

Subject: [DFW.pm] Software Freedom Day coming on Sep 17
Message-ID: <1311792326.2222.57.camel@ixtl.ncc.com>

It's that time of year again. Software Freedom Day 2011 will be on
September 17. We're hosting it at Dallas Makerspace again this year. In
2010 we managed to host the biggest SFD event ever in Dallas. We're
hoping for an even bigger event this year. 

Last year Nick Perez gave a nice talk on the State of Perl 6. I guess he
may be giving that talk at a SFD event in Amsterdam this year - so is
anyone else up for coming out and doing a short presentation on Perl for
us this year?
