[sf-perl] Good venues for a hackathon for this month's meeting?

[Fred Moyer]

We still have 4 weeks (minus 1 day) until the meeting, so there is
some time to mull it over a bit more before we send out the
announcement.

I'm hoping we can still find some place downtown which is fairly
central for everyone to meet up at.  Paul's place has the space but is
a few miles from downtown.  Citizenspace has the space and location
but costs money.

There's the lightning talk option also which has seemed to be a good
mix - we've had success with that format a couple times.  If we
decided on that within the next week I'd say the chances are good of
getting a venue that we have used previously.
