[Hampshire] [Perl] Perl Moungers Techical Meeting?

Hi,

Sorry for the cross-post.

Last Saturday the London.pm [1] and BBC Backstage [2] organised a one day
teach-in [3] event up in the London. The meeting was first come-first served
basis and was very over-subscribed. Afther the event there was a discussion
on teach-in list that good though the event was, a lot of us didn't know
about it until it fully booked and even if we did - London isn't 5 minutes
away.

Anyhow there is apparently an Oxford Perl mongers group, but it turns out to
be "resting" and someone suggested creating a new group in the Oxford/Reading
area for Perl. Sometime ago someone suggested a Perl group for the three
counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey [4] but I didn't get very far
with it.

If you are interested (and some of you may have received an email already)
please let me know and I can pass on your email to nascent Thames Valley And
Vicinity Perl Mongers.

What does this mean for the LUG? Well if it goes well, it may mean you get a
few more talks on Perl... which must be good for the LUG!

With ... the fact that Linux has become so easy to install that
certain species of bacteria are now being hired by MIS departments,
what was once the domain of rigorously trained, highly specialised
professionals has devolved into the Dark Land of the Monkeys.
