[kw-pm] Feb. Meeting - Paging Dr. Perl

[Daniel R. Allen]

...And pizza!  If you want 'za, add yourself to the pizza list:
http://kw.pm.org/wiki/?PizzaList
and bring $5 to the meeting.

I'll send a reminder a few days in advance of the meeting.  Hm, maybe I
can convince Zookrick that's part of his job description too...
