Do you have questions on Padre or Perl 6? Want to know how to ask those questions? Gabor Szabo has posted some screencasts of how to use irc to get you questions answered.

We had a good turnout and reception for the Modern Perl Presentation. Thank you all for your attendance and questions! I am working on the video/slide of the presentation and it should be published here shortly.

Since finding a regular meeting place has been elusive, SLUG has invited us to join in their meetings. Which works out really well since they have meeting rooms in both St. Pete and Tampa. Our first presentation will be next Wednesday July 21st at 7:00pm.

Well we seemed to have generated a lot of interest this week. So let's get this started back up again.

I've also started a Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=326993921729. If you are on Facebook go and sign up. I'll be sending event notifications on there also.

Anyone with thoughts about the meeting schedule, pass it along. I would like to make this work for everyone.

Meeting schedule suggestions:
It needs to be a consistent and simple formula for the date. ex Last Thursday of the month, The 5th of each month, ....

Meeting schedule nice to have opinions on:
I prefer 1 each of a social and technical meeting a month.
Do you have a thought about a presentation - tell me.

Thanks and hope to see you soon,

Christian

Well we had a pretty poor turnout to the 1st technical meeting, but we were able to turn it into something quite good. We decided not to do the planned presentations and focus on the turn out (or lack there of). So it turned into a TBPM cabal marketing meeting.

My report on the first social meeting of the new Tampa Bay Perl Mongers.
