Boston.pm now has a LinkedIn group. (If you're not familiar, LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals.)
Your direct LinkedIn network is supposed to consist of people that you've worked with before and can vouch for. In contrast, user group connections are like 2nd level contacts (people you know through other people). So networking via a user group broadens your network without violating that principle. To join, go to: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/41363/6E675551A940 No one is pre-approved (which would have required uploading everyone's email address to LinkedIn), so you'll be prompted to send a note to the group manager, which will go to Ronald. Just say you saw the invite on the mailing list. Similarly, there is a national Perl Mongers LinkedIn group you can join via: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/40830/4971AC40763D The invite for that was recently posted to the Perl jobs-discuss list by the group manager, Jose' Castro. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
