Though, we actually questioned whether it would make it easier for you to come if it was on some other day than Wednesday ? I remember you had some commitments on Wednesdays..<br></div>On similar note we were thinking to broaden up the social meeting to perl5, perl6 and other high level languages or even Linux in general..<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Vytas<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 1:46 PM, Imran Chaudhry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ichaudhry@gmail.com" target="_blank">ichaudhry@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Hi All,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hope you had a good chat yesterday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As you know, i've not been to a meetup for a while!</p>
<p dir="ltr">The main reason is that I have been building expertise in node.js - although I still use Modern Perl.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you don't mind my coming along to chat socially and on other tech subjects that might be non-Perl then I'd be more inclined to come along to the next one!</p>
