Hello Perl Hackers!<br>
<br>
Last week I attended a meeting of the people in charge of a number
of Perth "tech groups", such as Port 80 (Australian Web Industry
Association/AWIA), Perth Ruby Developers, UX Programmers, etc. These
groups have been struggling (as Perth.pm has), and are considering
holding joint events at a central location, with break-out rooms for
Special Interest Groups (SIGs, being each of the groups) to move
into for their own meetings.<br>
<br>
Venue space has been donated by SpaceCubbed, a startup that has
taken over the old Reserve Bank vault (!) at 45 St Georges Tce (the
little Amcom building, over the road from the Amcom tower!). Is on
the ground floor, walk through reception, past the lifts towards the
rear of the building.<br>
<br>
Much of the event will be a social networking and chatting, a small
section of notices, and then "free play", in effect. The first
"cross-tech-group meetup meeting" is scheduled for next week -
Wednesday 6th June starting at 5:45pm. I have put this in the
calendar for Perth.pm (and for <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://plug.org.au/">http://plug.org.au/</a>). There's no
charges, just come and hang out and meet more tech people from the
developer community across Perth.<br>
<br>
I don't know where this will go; it may replace our current schedule
of quarterly meetings.<br>
<br>
So, all welcome, see you possibly on Wednesday evening!<br>
<br>
James<br>
