Thank you for providing our opening talk.

I'm glad that it all worked out and am grateful to all of you attended and 
presented.

As promised long, long ago.  I'm going to write to Barbie from 
birmingham.pm and see if it's still possible to integrate us into their 
world-tour.

That would be great.

I'm thinking of perhaps giving a comparison on templating technologies or 
porting to mod_perl 2.

I'm also in the process of building a backend to that we may start life 
with a nice website.  I'm hoping that we might be able to start pushing 
out (retroactively), presentations on our site as well.  Will keep you all 
updated.

In the mean time, I hope that you all had a great time and were able to 
get some value out of the evening.

I'm looking forward to next month's meet.  I'm curious, how people feel 
about holding our .pm meetings on the weekends from time to time?  I 
figured that it 'might' make it easier to wrap things up earlier in the 
day.  Have a think and let us all know?

In the mean time, I'm curious whether August 16th/17th sounds reasonable?

My preference is actually for 17th August?

Hope that you all had a good time.  Looking forward to seeing you all next 
month.  In the mean time, I'd like to invite your proposals for talks on 
Perl (or interesting implementations / architecture / design/ engineering / 
testing whatever topics - hopefully with some link back to perl space..)

Looking forward to Meeting 0.1.
