[Novalug] Meeting this Saturday

Fri Feb 10 09:01:20 EST 2012

For Perl stuff I'd have to recommend the
DC.PM.org Perl Mongers group
and the upcoming DCBPW.org
DCBaltimorePerlWorkshop
conference, not that someone couldn't
do a short talk instead of a conference,
but kind of the difference between a
monthly meeting and FUDCON.

When ready there is YAPC
Yet Another Perl Conference
(I've not been at all to YAPC
in 10 years of DC.PM,
DCLUG & NoVALUG
attending, but they've gotten
tired of me whining about it
and now a DCBPW starts up
locally...  Full Disclosure:
I'm on the DCBPW Organizing committee/
group, but only at like slacker /
social worker level)
