Please review and refine/modify as needed. 1. Shift/encourage focus from Perl to OSS, Perl can be one point of integrating disparate packages. 2. Solving real world automation needs is the focus, and Perl continues to dominate and hence should have natural prominence. 3. If other languages have complimentary/supplementary value add, we should be open - just as we took a deep dive into JS lately (e.g. Angular JS, Single Page Apps). 4. Encourage participants to bring real world problems (distilled down to specific automation) for discussion and collective expertise can be leveraged for solution. 5. Monthly challenge problems be made more regular and review of disparate perspectives to the design/implementation. 6. Get more visibility via Social Networking groups (FB, or G+) 7. Plan for future and introduce Perl6 constructs and sample programs as core framework is getting performance improvements and stability. 8. Long presentations (30-60 mins) be balanced with small talks (e.g. 5 mins each to illustrate a point). 9. Visibility to University students would be good - as this helps students to rub shoulders with professionals. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
