Kind of frustrating, this Austin Perl Monger group. We have had trouble finding a good place to have meetings. Now I've heard that HostGator is going to sponser us and provide a place to meet. Our last meeting the 7 of us stood around at a bar and had a very nice but mostly social meeting. Good bar, but not a great place for a meeting. In attendence were Matt Trout and John Napiorkowsky! That was Dec 17th.

Notices about meetings tend to go out the day of the meeting, I'm sorry to say. We should have great meetings. Our current president once convinced Ingy dot Net and Reini Urban to come to a meeting in Austin to discuss some of the new directions for making Perl faster. There were only 6 of us there for that.

Things look good for the new year. If we get a sponser, have a good place to meet, put together interesting presentations, I'm sure there are a lot of people using Perl in the Austin area. There are a lot of great things happening in the wider Perl community. Our group just needs to do a better job of advertising and conducting meetings. For solidarity sake, anyone interested could also join the perl meetup.com group in Austin; please.
