[oak perl] April Meeting + Request for Speakers

[George Woolley]

Currently, there is just one speaker signed up
for the April meeting.
We could use several more.
No talk is too short.

The one talk already scheduled
compares Perl/Python/Ruby.
The theme for the meeting is
"Dynamic Languages".
Even if you have an off-theme talk,
that would be helpful.
Let me know 
if you can do some kind of talk.
George

in these definitions including the examples.
