I am with Aristotle on this.  I already have way too many accounts 
that I hardly use (in most cases just for one specific use with low 
traffic), and several accounts that I really really use a lot.  One 
more would not hurt, of course, but I have been cleaning house, as in 
closing dozens of accounts this year.

I know very well that we could communicate a bit more on this 
mailinglist.  We could ask people to come to the meetings with a bit 
more pressure (as in, Perl people react to pressure in meaningful 
ways...  eh, I mean "please please come") and we could post summaries 
of what happened at the meeting.  We could urge people more to give 
presentations.

To give the right example...   I prepared a discussion topic for 
tonight.  About Perl 6 and when it will be Christmas.  Let's see if 
people are interested.

See you all tonight.  Please, please, come, give a technical 
presentation (or have a subject to discuss).

Greetz,
Wendy van Dijk
