So far, interest has not been sufficient to warrant a separate Perl mini-conf (judging by mailing list traffic, anyway), but of course Perl talks are welcome at the main conference. Sam.

Most of what you need to do to become the list and website manager can be found over here: http://groups.pm.org/faq.html In particular you'll need to: * Register for an auth.perl.org account at https://auth.perl.org/ * Send an email to: support at pm.org asking to become the new Brisbane PM leader (make sure you mention that you're local) * Wait until Jay or someone else from perl.org gets a chance to get back to you. Once you've done this you'll become the new official Brisbane PM leader. If this inspires you to organise meetings slightly more often than the once a year I've been managing then that's even better!

I'm tempted to suggest a "meeting" at my house, probably involving beer and pizza, but I'll wait till the sage conf is over before starting floating dates. Next steps, making a new website (everyone likes the banana logo?), finding out what people here want, and what it might be possible to do.

I can probably swing using our work as the venue again.

I am open to suggestion, and indeed willing to approach the matter with a completely blank mind. Cheers Damian
