We have 13 email at the moment- The problem is that I don't know who
is really from Milan. We have 2 adresses that are mine and one is my
wife, to this numbers you have to add the other PM group leaders.

How many are from Milan? I really have no idea. For this reason I
tried to create a group in LinkedIn, until now I'm the only member.

I PROMISE that I will never chose McDonalds for a Monthly Meeting. In
reality I was willing to get a ease Pizza place more or less in the
meaddle of Milan, other wise I will chose the one in the Piaza Ovidio
in the est part of the town, where I leave.

I don't use newsgroups, so can someone give me a list of the ones that
can be usefull?

Notice that I'm not Italian (this is why I shall be elected and not be
self proclaimed leader). I'm able of speak and understand most of the
things in Italian but I'm Portuguese. Since I Portuguese and I have
some international experience, I really believe that the web site
shall be done in English. Most of the software developers shall or at
least should know this language. The membership to the group doesn't
exclude foragers.

This meeting shall not be about Perl, maybe the first ones yes, but
the remaining not. It would be nice to have a group that can speak
about other stuff, just Perl is boring.
