[Pdx-pm] Fwd: [pm_groups] Where have all the young hackers gone?

[Eric Wilhelm]

Hi all,

I would like to get Edgar some answers, but I'm terrible at judging age 
and have no clue about the CS programs at the local universities.  
Anybody have some info on that?

If I had to guess, I would say nobody who attends the meetings is under 
25.  If I'm wrong and you've attended meetings, but want to maintain 
the allusion, e-mail me directly :-)

Thanks,
Eric

Dear PM leaders,

At YAPC::NA I brought up the issue that the Perl community lacked
members under 22 or so, and several reasons for this were discussed.

I would like to get more information regarding the issue, so I have a
few questions that I would like answered about every PM group:

1) At a typical meeting what percent of your members are under 25?

2) Are meetings typically held at open venues? (not bars or clubs that
 card)

3) Is there a college or university in your town?

If yes I have extra questions !

4) How far is the university from your meeting place ?

5) Does the university have a Computer Science program ?

Thank you for the replying, once I have the data I'll report and try
and find ways to recruit a new generation of Perl users.
