Hi Geoff,

Having done the London -> Perth in August last year, I'm not seeing a
huge amount of Perl work coming up here in Perth. One potential is the
local large ISP, iiNet (who are based in Perth).

I can't answer that - but it would be good to get the input from others
on the list.

Sounds good. We have a catch up session about once per quarter on the
first Wednesday of the month (there's not demand for more regular,
unlike London.pm which is huge in comparison). So January 4th is our
next schedule one; but if you stop by any other time then I'm sure a few
of us would come and share a pint! :)
