APM: YAPC Meeting This Wednesday, October 24th, SPECIAL TIME 2pm-6pm

[Will Braswell]

Howdy Perl Mongers,
Our monthly meeting is this Wednesday, the 24th.  Instead of our
normal 8:00pm meeting time, we've got a special appointment starting
at 2:00pm to tour the (probable) YAPC::NA 2013 venue, Thompson Hall at
UT, after which we will select a nearby coffee shop or other location
for the 24-hour YAPC hackathon.  The tentative not-yet-public dates
are June 3 - 7, 2013; please let me know ASAP if there is any problem
with these dates.
I've been working with Erica Baum and Reini Urban at cPanel to
organize the YAPC efforts.  Reini is in town this week and will be the
cPanel representative present for the Wednesday YAPC planning
activities.
Our general plan is to meet with the UT people and determine if
Thompson Hall is adequate for our needs, then hop around local coffee
shops until we find one that is awesome and open 24/7 for the
hackathon.  Then we will likely finish our meeting over coffee at the
chosen hackathon location and discuss additional YAPC ideas and
details until approximately 6:00pm, at which time Reini will likely
need to leave and I may well turn into a pumpkin(g).  :)
Please contact me and let me know if you can make it for any part of
this meeting, especially you Jeremy!
Also, our November meeting will (presumably) be held at the normal
time of 8:00pm on Wednesday, 11/28.
Do we have anyone willing to present on a Perl-related topic for the
November meeting?
Do we have any suggestions for a meeting location other than Reale's
pizza?  (Some people don't like Reale's food and atmosphere.)
Perling,~ Will Braswell, Austin.PM Prez
