Traveling halfway across the metroplex is a bit too<br>much to do monthly, but I suspect many people would make the effort for<br>a once-a-year gathering.<br><br>I'll be happy to do some research on organizing a "DFW Perl Workshop" <br>(and to co-chair or chair the workshop, gather speakers and otherwise put <br>it together). The main area where I might need some assistance is in<br>procuring a venue where we could meet.<br><br>If you like the idea of a yearly DFW Perl Workshop, let me know. <br>If I don't hear many +1's, I'll assume the idea isn't really that<br>interesting to
people. :-)<br><br>Pm<br>_______________________________________________<br>Dfw-pm mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Dfw-pm@pm.org" href="mailto:Dfw-pm@pm.org">Dfw-pm@pm.org</a><br><a href="http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/dfw-pm" target="_blank">http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/dfw-pm</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
