Unfortunately, I will be taking my son to his scout meeting then.  I'm
really interested in Mark's topic, though.  Has anyone thought about
filming and posting the talks?  A private YouTube page or a Google Hangout
would be great.

I spoke to Austin, and our meeting room already has a camera and audio
capabilities.  He said he'd be willing to help facilitate this.

We have done this off and on in the past. If Mark is willing to be
recorded, we can try it again.

No one has stepped forward for the November 10 meeting, which is coming
up fast.

After last time, I began to wonder if anyone would be interested
in a refresher on anonymous subs and (light) functional programming in
Perl.

If there is interest, I could put something together for the next
meeting.
