I'm going to the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop for the weekend, and I'm jealous.<br><br>I want Toronto to have an event of it's own. After all, it IS the center of the universe. <br><br>Actually, my goals are more modest, as I mentioned at last week's meeting. My idea is to hold a one-day event, some Saturday. I see it as an opportunity to bring together the Buffalo, KW and Toronto groups, to meet the people, find out what their interests are. At the meeting there was interest in having two streams, one room for presentations, one room for hackathons.<br>
<br>Is there interest in something like this? I know there are some people on the mail list from KW, and I think from Buffalo as well. I seem to remember from Lindsay doing a presentation a while back, I think it was on using a serial port to have literal lights announcing problems.<br>
<br>I'm thinking it would take a little organization even for a casual affair, probably not feasible before Christmas. Winter? or better to hold off till March or April, when civilization returns to the outdoors?<br><br>
