At the last meeting, we didn't get round to discussing the next meeting. I've updated the web site to indicate that the next meeting will be on November the 8th (even though it's really the second Wednesday). If anyone objects, let me know (your objection will carry more weight if accompanied by an offer to present). On the subject of possible presentations, has anyone been following the Perl 6.0 processes? Speaking as someone who hasn't, I'd certainly be interested in an update/overview - any takers?

The survey information will assist in developing the structure of an upcoming O'Reilly Conference: Peer to Peer (P2P). Take the survey, and you will be entered to win 10 books of your choice. For those of you who aren't familiar with peer to peer, take a look at this article by Andy Oram: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/09/22/p2psummit.html to participate in the survey go to: http://www.oreilly.com/news/p2p_survey.html The Peer to Peer Conference will take place at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, February 14 to 16. Early next year we are also publishing "Peer-to-Peer: The Disruptive Potential of Collaborative Networking". We'd be grateful if you'd fill in the survey and let others know about its existence. We feel that an important new technological trend is building but we don't have a handle on its shape or who's interested in it. As you know, we at O'Reilly were at the forefront of the commercialization of the Internet, the early development of the Web, and have been a major force behind the growth of Open Source. Tim O'Reilly, our founder and CEO, strongly believes that Peer-to-Peer constitutes another such groundbreaking force for change. The information in the survey is strictly for our internal analysis. Thanks for your support. :) Denise
