[Phoenix-pm] [awwaiid@thelackthereof.org: fixed wiki]

[Scott Walters]

Hi Brock,

Of course, you aren't going to say to them "how about". That conveys that
you think it's a bad idea and really just want other suggestions, not
attendees.

Also, what we've done in the past and what has worked well is sending
the announcement with plenty of notice, then when there are a few days
remaining, asking for RSVPs then. But if you really need an approximate
head count, asking for it up front is okay.

Edited suggestion:

       Time: Wednesday 25 January 2006 @7:00pm
   Location: Scottsdale Community College, Room CM-464
             http://www.sc.maricopa.edu/sccmap/ for maps
      Topic: PRESENTERS NEEDED
             Bring your Favorite/Interesting modules to tell us about
             Scott will present "the surprising difficult to do
             Upload Progress Bar"          
             Brock will give a talk on something (VladimirBot? eh)
             Brock will debrief the group on upcoming Special Guest
             Speakers
      Other: Wired internet available, bring your laptop

About the "bring your favorite CPAN module" symposium:  Attenees will be
asked to share with the group their favorite module.  Say a few words
about how *you* use it and how it helps you, or if you like, prepare a 
brief Web page or hand-out showing how you use it.

Also I've talked to Ticketmaster, who does lots of Perl programming, and
hope to get them in to tell us about it in February.  We'll talk about
that at the meeting.  And some other future-speaker stuff. 
 
I look forward to seeing you all there!
