[Melbourne-pm] Request for July talks [was Meetings via Google Hangout]

[John Kaye]

Hi Alfie and Toby,

I have followed the recent (Melbourne Perl Mongers) discussion about July
talks
with interest, but I am still waiting for an answer to that perpetual
question:

Is tomorrow's Melbourne Perl Mongers meeting going ahead?

Cheers,
John
