[DFW.pm] Perl

Tue Jul 4 13:39:06 PDT 2017

Yes, I can help with that issue.  I'll send you message off-list with my
contact information as well.

Monday/Tuesday/Friday nights work best for me, as long as it's not the 1st
Tuesday of the month.  ProTip: Attendance will usually be lower for
meetings scheduled on Wednesdays; Perl Monger parents with kids involved in
after-school programs can't come. (These groups almost universally choose
Wednesday nights for their meetings.)

Lastly, please let me give you some advice that proved it's weight in gold
to me: don't try to do this alone.  Share leadership and ownership.
Distribute your executive function across a two/three person leadership
structure so you have committed people to help when 'life happens' and you
can't run a scheduled meeting.  Have a co-president.  Take the offers of
help that have been/will be extended.  Future success will surely hinge on
your ability to depend on a solid team.

Hi  Tommy,

That would be greatly appreciated. I just tried emailing Jay (assuming
user_groups at pm.org is supposed to go to him) but it bounced.

What would be our next steps please? Would a call be easier, or is this
something we can handle over email?

As far as timing, Tues and Wed are currently not good due to existing
commitments, but I’m open otherwise. And even those days will likely open
up in another few months.

Thanks

I'm so meta even this acronym.

If you folks wasn't to get started that's great!  I'll come!  I just don't
have the cycles for planning, administration, and execution of meetings
anymore.

We should probably discuss what day of the month works best for everyone,
or in the least which evening presents the fewest conflicts.

You might also want to reach out to John Fields to see if the (awesome)
venue we previously used is still available.

John and I can also help in arranging your access to our group mailing
list/Meetup page/YouTube channel/Gmail/Google+ account and our former pm.org
website which needs a DNS update that I can handle, but otherwise provides
free hosting for the website.

I would help. As someone who wasn't always able to attend before, my
situation now would allow it more.  Count me in.

Thanks Tommy, that’s very relevant. And so this is the thing; some years
back, I ran the North Texas OpenView Forum chapter along with Denise Lucas.
I say this to say that I have experience running a user group. What I don’t
have is much in the way of perl experience. Neophyte would actually be
stretching my level of experience. But rather than just  let this group die
again, and presuming that someone with more perl experience than I have
would also step up, I’d be willing to help run this group, as perl is
something I’m very interested in. Additionally, my fiancée is a
professional event planner. So we’d have that working for us as well.

So what say you, members of DFW perl mongers? Do we want to keep this
going?  Or no?

Regards

Thanks.  The Houston club is still doing pretty well
thanks to Wade Johnson.  They do meetings every months
and there are a few posts not related to the meetings.

If I am not mistaken I have not heard much from this list for
about 2 months now.  Dog days of summer I guess.
