<p>I could 'in theory' do a talk about the difficulty breaking into
a new language / toolkit / skill. As an out of date programmer I
find myself often frustrated at how everyone but me has the answer
I need but nobody is willing to share. This is off the cuff though
so I haven't got anything thought through.<br>

tech talks in February</div>

</div>
We’ve got at least two options for tech talks in February:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Will Hawes has invited us to go along to the
tech[maidenhead] meetup on February 7th:</div>

<br class="">
<div class="">This is a general tech meetup, and they already
have some talks scheduled. Will reckons we could fit in 3 Perl
talks. Given the meetup, they would need to aim to be of
general interest, rather than hardcore Perl :-)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The second option would be to have a Perl/TVPM
only gathering for lightning talks, followed by a beer or two
in a local hostelry. This would mean we could have more than 3
talks, and they could be on anything related to Perl (or
not!). But if only 3 people can be strong-armed into talking,
then we might as well join in with the Maidenhead meet-up.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So far we have 3 potential speakers:</div>

<div class="">If one more person wants to talk, but people would
still like to go along to the Maidenhead meetup, I’m happy to
not talk.</div>

<div class="">What’s everyone’s preference?</div>
