<div dir="ltr">Nice write up Olaf, very convincing. I was <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">on the fence</span> actually, but decided to attend this time to check out <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">YAPC. Your message really make me happy about my choice. Thanks.</span></div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'm going to be talking about YAPC::NA 2013 at this week's meeting. I believe Matt may be doing the same. If you haven't been to one of these before, it may sound boring but that's actually not the case. I'll have slides prepared and I'll be going over some of the interesting things that I learned while over there. If you didn't make it to YAPC this year, you'll get the benefit of some cool tips you may not otherwise have picked up on. Also, it may give you an idea about which of the talk videos that have already been posted you may want to go back and see (or not see). Actually, all of the stuff I went to was well worth it, so I won't have any "don't bother with this talk" caveats.<br>
<br>
If you haven't been to a meeting before, this is a good chance to come out and meet some new people. The format will be pretty informal, so you can interrupt me at any point to ask questions, disagree with me etc.<br>
<br>
I know the attendance at the meetings has been a bit up and down, so if you've been on the fence about attending lately, please do come out for a couple of hours. As part of the evening, I suspect we can have a discussion on the agenda for future meetings and what we can do to keep things interesting for people.<br>
