Tonight I hosted the San Diego Perl Mongers meeting at the auditorium in the building where I work. It was an experiment, and a successful one at that. We had an attendance of 16 people, which is quite good for our group. I suspect some of that was due to the free pizza provided by my director (thanks Keith!).

Since we had the auditorium available to us, one of our members was nice enough to say a few words about his business and how Perl has helped him to succeed. Much of the evening was devoted to chatting about whatever Perl-related thoughts came to mind. I floated the idea of hosting a booth at FOSSCON, but that’s still too far out to really talk seriously about it.

I’m extremely pleased with how well the venue worked out. We may not have the meeting there every month, but it’s nice to have it available so we can start adding technical meetings to our calendar.
