Calling All New Orleans Perl Hackers: We are starting a Perl Mongers group in New Orleans: NewOrleans.pm!
We're going to be meeting the second Friday of each month at the Fair Grinds Coffeehouse (fairgrinds.com), 3133 Ponce de Leon in New Orleans (a few doors down from the Whole Foods on Esplanade). ?The official meeting will take place upstairs from 5pm to 7pm, but folks will be free to socialize after that in the coffeehouse. ?Fair Grinds provides free wireless access to the Internet, so bring a laptop or other wi-fi toy if you'd like. At the first meeting (this Friday, May 14), we'll be talking about what we'd like to do at future meetings. We have a mailing list just for NewOrleans.pm. ?If you'd like to subscribe to the list, you can do so here: ? http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/neworleans-pm We just have the one list, which we'll use for anything and everything related to Perl Mongering in New Orleans, from talking about Perl to announcing upcoming meetings. (In case the frequent uses of the terms "Perl" and "Perl Mongers" have you confused, yet intrigued, perhaps the following will help: ?What's Perl? ? Perl is a programming language (the name is an ? acronym for Practical Extraction and Reporting ? Language, but it's used for many tasks from system ? administration to web application programming). ? For more info on Perl, see http://www.perl.org/ ? and http://use.perl.org/ ?What's Perl Mongers? ? Perl Mongers is a worldwide network of Perl user ? groups. ?For more info about Perl Mongers, see ? http://www.pm.org/ Even if you aren't into Perl now but would like to be, feel free to come to our meetings--we'd be happy to tell you why we like Perl.) We look forward to seeing you at this week's or a future meeting.
