[Wellington-pm] Grant's first draft [was: Last Thursday's Perl Mongers Meeting]

[Dan Horne]

Or perhaps stick it in something like Google Calendar so those of us  
who use an iCal client can hook in. I have different things on  
different Tuesdays, and would love to attend more often, but often  
can't change my plans at short notice, and an email the day before is  
often a bit short for me. Not that the such a solution should be  
implemented if I'm the only beneficiary, and I should be more  
organised....
