[columbus.pm] Greetings all you Columbus Perl Mongers

[jon at hogue.org]

Hi Chris! Welcome to the list. You could always start a youngstown pm group. 
We could even join the groups on occasion for special events or big name guest 
speakers.

The house wasn't great. It was okay. I think maybe I'll just break down and 
put up the bucks for the public room at Scottie's. It sucks that they started 
charing for it, but after trying out ever other option, it seems like a good 
value. Maybe, we could ask for a donation of $3 or something to recoup some of 
the cost of the room.

If I could gauruntee 10-20 people, it would be interesting to try and get Mark 
Jason Dominius to come down to Columbus. His talks were great in improving my 
Perl code. I would need lots of help recruiting people to come see him for 
that.

Maybe we could do a Saturday or something and ask him to do a half day on 
refacturing or something. I've talked to him before, and he's willing to come 
talk at PM functions for a plane ticket and lodging (prefers to stay at 
someone's house or youth hostel).

Perhaps, I could get someone to do an intro to Perl for the first half of the 
day. Jim Corder might do it, and he's local. That way, we could attract new 
blood to the group.
