We had a nice but small meeting last Wednesday. The discussion included:
Future topics (theoretical and practical); using subroutine prototypes; a
crash-course in unicode and why it is cool; cron jobs to update our
website; hiring Gnomes; possible reasons why we have 10x as many people on
the mailing list as attend meetings, and how to improve that ratio; and a
discussion of YAPC::NA::2004 where I tried my best to describe Damian
Conway's latest talk, "Sufficiently Advanced Technologies".
We have topics lined up for September and October; and looking for
topics/presenters for November.
