Phoenix.pm: Web site ideas

Those ideas look great. I will see if I can start messing around with 
a decent design that we can use as a template for site navigation and 
content.

The Omaha.pm group has some funny stuff up, such as the following 
swearing in ceremony:
>------------------------------
>Swearing In Ceremony
>Here is a sample ceremony involving a new initiate
>named "John Doe":
>
>Please place your left hand on the Blue Camel, raise your right
>hand, and repeat after me:
>
>"I, (state your name),"
>   "I, John Doe,"
>"Believe that Perl is as Perl does,"
>   "Believe that Perl is as Perl does,"
>"So I will try to do more stuff with it."
>   "So I will try to do more stuff with it."
>"So help me Larry."
>  "So help me Larry."
>"You are hereby dubbed $monger{Omaha}[n]," (stating the index 'n')
>"or just 'Number n', for short." (re-affirming the index 'n' )
>"push @{ $monger{Omaha} }, "John Doe";" (assigning the index 'n')
>
>This last line is pronounced :
>'push to HoA monger Omaha, "John Doe".'  The 'HoA' rhymes with
>'Boa' ... as in 'constrictor'.
>
>With that, the formal ceremony is complete. The initiate now enjoys
>all of the benefits, rights, and privileges of full membership
>(whatever those may be ... I haven't noticed any).

He he, yeah, sure, whatever. :)  What kind of group is this anyway? ;)

I do want to thank Doug for putting together some great examples of 
using Tk that I had not yet seen before.

Is there a topic decided for the next meeting? Two things that I 
think would be interesting is an in depth intro to Object Oriented 
Perl (almost like a verbal version of perltoot... depending on the 
knowledge base of those who are plan on attending the next meeting) 
or different types of database access with Perl.
