[Chicago-talk] Virtual Perl Mongers meeting?

[David Mertens]

Yeah, it would be all done over video. (I don't live in Chicago anymore, so
it's not like *I'd* be there in person. :-)

Who to invite? Here are some things to bear in mind, and some sources for
inspiration:

   - possible for anyone around the globe to speak
   - 8PM Chicago time is 3AM in Europe, 10PM in Rio de Janeiro, and 11AM in
   Sydney
   - Ideas for speakers: metacpan's recent upload list
   <https://metacpan.org/recent>, niceperl's two CPAN
   <http://niceperl.blogspot.com/2020/06/ccxciii-20-cpan-great-modules-released.html>
   lists
   <http://niceperl.blogspot.com/2020/06/cdxxiv-metacpan-weekly-report-acmeful.html>,
   top posters on Perlmonks or Stack Overflow

Is there any way to make this a Chicago event?

   - For the speaker, send some Chicago swag (a t-shirt, a hat, a
   <https://www.tastesofchicago.com/category/Lou_Malnatis_Pizza> pizza
   <https://ship.giordanos.com/> (but pizzas only ship within the US))
   - For the participants...? That might be meaningful for the speaker but
   it wouldn't do much for the rest of us. Other than that, I'm at a loss. So,
   ideas for this would also be much appreciated.

Thoughts?
David
