We have a very special meeting lined up: not only will we defy our own meeting rules, but Birmingham Perl Mongers will visit us for a few drinks. As usual, we'll meet in Wetherspoon's near the railway station (not the one in the snow dome). I'll show up some time between 7 and 7.30, but feel free to arrive whenever suits you. If you've not been along before and you would like my mobile number to help find us please ask off list. See the Web site for more details: http://miltonkeynes.pm.org/ For June's meeting, we might try a different pub: somewhere we can sit outside and damage our pale geek complexions. It will probably rain. Finally, please can the naughty boys who offered to talk at June's technical meeting but didn't reply to my mail last week get in touch soon. Gold stars to those of you who have already replied. See you all soon, Tom From barbie at missbarbell.co.uk Tue May 23 08:57:52 2006 From: barbie at missbarbell.co.uk (Barbie) Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 16:57:52 +0100 Subject: Meeting: Tuesday 23rd May 2006 In-Reply-To: <20060518105203.GA24270@eborcom.com> References: <20060518105203.GA24270@eborcom.com> Message-ID: <20060523155752.GA22120@smtp.blueyonder.co.uk> Hi All, Unfortunately only Alan and myself were available tonight and I've come down with some kind of bug.

In the end the pub was closed although the usual crowd managed to meet up in All Bar One down the road. I hope nobody showed up and didn't find us. Perhaps this is some strange curse for me getting the date wrong. Anyway, we look forward to a Birmingham.pm visit some time soon. I'll get an announcement out about our technical meeting on June 13th soon, but so far only two people have mailed me to confirm they will talk (subtle hint for the rest of you - title and duration, please).

Great so I can blame you for me getting chickenpox ;) Just as well I didn't come along last night I'd hate to think I would have passed it on to everyone. We'll probably try for a July trip as I'll be in Chicago at the end of June for YAPC::NA. We will get to visit you guys eventually :) Have fun, Barbie.

I can certainly take a look at it. Is this going to involve running my own RT instance, or is there a test server somewhere that I can take advantage of?
