Welcome to Singapore! There's a lot of open source groups here; if
you're into Python, you could check out the Python users group [1] as
well.

Heh, in Singapore, "food" is the magic word - you'll always find
people willing to join in a nice meal. There are a number of Perl
geeks around, although this mailing list remains mousy quiet. I think
I could get a small group of 3-5 Perl people together (and
Singapore.pm is *long* overdue a meetup), but the quickest way to meet
the local geeks would be to join the LinuxNUS people for their
semiregular hackfest - there ought to be one this weekend [2].

cheers,
Gaurav
