[kamloops-pm] Hello

[Bradley K. Embree]

Well so far not much traffic eh? But what do you expect from a list with 5
people on it.

I was wondering what we are all wanting to get out of Kamloops Perl Mongers.
Is anyone interested in having meetings? Do we want to simply keep it to
discussion of Perl on the mailing list? Thoughts? I am waiting to hear back
from the pm.org people about an issue with the web space for
http://kamloops.pm.org/ but hopefully soon there will be a basic informational
page up there.

I am not a Perl guru (I have been programming in Perl for a little over two
years now) but I would be willing to give some talks/presentations on the
basics of Perl OO programming (see http://www.manning.com/Conway/ for a great
book on Perl OO), writing GUI applications with wxPerl
(http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/), and some basic Perl programming tips (i.e.
use strict and warnings, make effective use of the CPAN, know how to use
perldoc). It would mostly be regurgitation of what I have learned from other
sources filtered by my experiences programming in Perl (almost) daily for the
last year and whenever I got the chance for the year before that.

Anyways, I am just trying to start up a discussion about what the goals of
Kamloops Perl Mongers could be.
