font-family:Arial'>I realize that we're all busy, but I'm not
getting too much of a response to our "plea" for help to work on
the demo for SCALE. I know that you all liked the technical talks we've
been having and we do plan to continue these throughout next year. That being
said, please RSVP to attend Tuesday night's hacking session being run by
Juan. Juan built a great demo for us for the SCALE conference, which is
literally right around the corner, but we'd love to have peer input to
make this showing at the conference the best it can be (I believe it's
also the first for the la.pm).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For us to continue to support upcoming talks, conferences, perhaps
training, etc. my hope is that the group will grow and we'll have active participation
especially in comparison to those other folks who work in languages like PHP
and Ruby, etc. ;) (No offense to our PHP and Ruby friends!) It's a war
for mindshare and perl has a lot to offer so let's use this chance to
show our stuff!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
