I think they represent a lot of what we are us to and show that we're all not just talk 'n booze. Hence I'm anxious to see them succeed. I'd like to be able to attend your technical meetings, since compared to the majority of you lot I'm pretty green, having only been using perl for just over eighteen months. And this: Bath.pm roots showing. We used to discuss a fair amount of technical (but not necessary perl related) stuff. From this, I quickly progressed into the well rounded perl programmer I am today[3] Works for me as a testimonial to *.pm tech meetings. Tech meetings good. Learning things from sharp people good.

Hmm. No one seems to have replied to this[1]. I think the lack of
response seems to indicate that no-one has any objections to either
venue. I personally thought State51 was very good, but I'm all for
variety in the venue.
What kind of deal were the ICA offering us?
Any other suggestions?
nitpick
Yeah, the web site sez that technical meetings are bi-monthly. Shouldn't
we change this as they're only monthly (though half way though the month.)
/nitpick
Later.

Fairy Nuff. Speaking from a personal standpoint, I really enjoy the
technical meetings and think more of them would be really beneficial[2]. I
think they represent a lot of what we are us to and show that we're all
not just talk 'n booze. Hence I'm anxious to see them succeed.
If not any of the venues discussed then where? If we need another venue
then someone should look into it[4] asap, and we can see what we can do.
Later.

[3] How well rounded is a matter of opinion. Let's just say I wouldn't be
a scratch on what I am now without them.
[4] Which I'd do, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about. Let's just
say that I've got my cow in the ditch here, and thus would be willing to
look into it if no-one else can come up with better suggestions.

I'm still looking for suggestions for venues for the next two technical meetings (Feb 22 26). How do people feel about going back to State51? Does someone want to contact the ICA? Any other suggestions? Dave...
