</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My bad, I let it slide. We actually had a new person show up in January, but no one was there...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>There will be a February meeting. And at least one of the topics will be a call to kick out the current group moderator for his gross dereliction of duty... Or at least find a way to better spread (delegate) the fun (responsibilities)!</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> welcome to help out wherever you feel comfortable. Speak up </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> on the list if you want, and I hope to see you 2 weeks from today</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>We've got about 10 regulars of which around 6 give or take a head tend to show up at the monthly meetings. Meetings tend to have at least one perl related presentation and usually a book review or two.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We could definitely use organization skills where ever you'd care to lend them. Attracting new people, fishing for people willing to give presentations, presentation topics we interested in, mailing list management, web site, etc. At one time Andy was playing around with putting Moveable Type out on the website. And I was trying to get a wiki installed. I think it would be great to have forums and/or a wiki out there. And certainly there are things I'm not aware of that we should probably be doing.</FONT></P>
