<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p>I'm interested in reviving this group somewhat to meet over a <br>
weekday lunch, perhaps monthly, in N. Colorado Springs or <br>
Monument area. Ideal meeting location for me is Baptist Road <br>
area (Chili's, etc), but I will drive as far south as Woodmen <br>
area or as far north as the El Paso county line, Monument, etc.<br>

connections, and learn about what other people are doing with <br>
perl in a casual, respectful, collegial setting. I work out of a <br>
basement office, don't get out enough(!), and I've often had need <br>
for perl development help but without local contacts. Just lunch <br>
and casual chit-chat would be good... and/or perhaps taking turns <br>
volunteering for a simple presentation of something perl'ish one <br>
has been working on would be informative. It'd be nice to find a <br>
place that would support overhead projections from a laptop, but <br>
low-tech works, too.<br>

CoSprings (LoehrTech.com). I grew up in CA/NM, went to HS in NM, <br>
then Eastern NM Univ (Portales, NM) then CU-Boulder, worked in <br>
Boulder, then Austin, TX for 6 years, mostly high-tech startups, <br>
and have been in CoSprings for ~8 years now. I've been in <br>
software industry for ~20 years now, doing perl'ish stuff for ~15 <br>
years, busy raising 7 amazing kids with my lovely wife of 24yrs, <br>
I ride a road bicyle, play the guitar occasionally, like college <br>
football, hiking/camping/fishing, playing with my kids.<br>
