From grant at mclean.net.nz Sun Apr 1 15:50:13 2012 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:50:13 +1200 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Date for April meeting Message-ID: <1333320613.27966.15.camel@putnam> Hi Mongers The next Wellington Perl Mongers meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday (April 10th). Unfortunately, I'll be away on holiday next week. If we decided to delay it one week (April 17th) then it turns out that although I'll be back in Wellington, I'll need to be at the airport at 6:00pm to pick up my wife. I guess the real question is who would like to present at the April meeting and which date suits them? I could possibly present on the 17th but even if flight schedules go to plan, I will be late. Any other offers?

I'm still trying to remotely rustle up a volunteer to handle access but it's safe to assume we won't be starting without you :-) If there's no mobile number on the door, just hang around and someone will come down and check.

I managed to arrive at 6:01, but someone soon came into the building with a swipe and I managed to social engineer my way in with little difficulty.

Actually, I've had a rethink about that and it's probably a better idea to delay the May meeting as well. So the next meeting will now be in 4 weeks on May 15th and the June meeting will be 4 weeks after that and will return us to the normal "second Tuesday of the month" schedule. I still want to hear from people volunteering to speak. Cheers Grant
