APM: Meeting Report

[jameschoate at austin.rr.com]

Good to hear it was well attended. I missed this one, and I'll be in Wyoming climbing for the next one unfortunately.

However, I'm curious as to what the thoughts or suggestions were for long term activities to keep interest up? Personally I'm not much inspired by passive talks.

Is there any interest in actual real world projects of one sort or another? A couple of ideas,

- A 2D scroller zombie game

- Core War implementation

I have created a Trello organization for Austin Perl Mongers, and have sent Trello invitations to everyone who came to the meeting.  I will give a presentation and demo of Trello Bot at the August meeting.  Anyone interested in Trello Bot can see the following websites and contact me directly, we will be meeting for weekly pizza every Tuesday evening at my office.
