I can understand that sentiment. Theoretically it should be better to be coming INTO Boston, but I know that's not usually the case. >The social gatherings seem to be in better locations. >Do people talk Perl at these, or are they purely social? >Would a stranger like myself be welcomed warmly? (I know, >someone will ask "exactly how strange are you?")... At the last social, it was a mixture of both. There was some perl talk, some social chattering, and also a small discussion on the goodness of patents. (You know who you are. :-) ) I'd certainly welcome anyone that wants to come! The whole point of the social gatherings is to get to know fellow perl mongers, no matter how strange. Because if we look hard at ouselves, we're probably all a little strange. ;-) I know I certainly am (at times).
