[yapc] Anyone interested in crashing CPOSC in October?

[Casey West]

Gabor,

Wait just a second. Your attempts to track down Eric are too shallow given
the actions you propose. So far it looks like you found some broken images
on their website and sent one email which bounced. I'd encourage you to dig
a little deeper before promoting coup or termination of a Perl Monger
group. For example, Googling Eric's name (no quotes) turns up the following
information in the first ten results:

1. OpenThought.org, his site, which shows several ways to find him.
2. His CPAN directory, which includes his email address in the Google
listing.
3. His Facebook Page, you could message him there.
4. His Twitter account, you could message him there.
5. His LinkedIn profile, you could message him there.
6. His recent involvement in the Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group

It seems Eric has a history of close involvement with this event. I suggest
you should reach out to him by other means than just the email address
listed on the pm.org page. The PM group may be dormant, I don't know, but it
deserves a little more effort to find out. Good luck, and thanks for trying
to get Perl seen at this event!

Cheers,

Casey West

(Side note: As a group organizer, and a bad one at that, I would find your
proposed next steps to be out of line with your attempts to contact me. It
would be frustrating.)
