Hello friends! s1n and I decided that we would start Dallas.p6m as we are close to each other geographically speaking. We are meeting tomorrow (Thursday, March 19, 7:00PM) at a coffee shop with free wifi. The address is 985 W Bethany Dr Allen, TX 75013.
So far it looks like it will be s1n, me, and two or three of my co-workers. We don't really have an agenda, but I figure I will ask s1n about some PIR stuff and if he wants I can chat about some perl 6 stuff (although he may know more about that as well.)
Anyway, you are invited to come and have a good time! We will probably be more organized in the future, but for now this will work :-)

I live in Allen, so might be there. That address is where Market Street is right? What is the name of the coffee shop?

This is more to the world of Perl 6, but you're the first person to go out there and do this.
I love love LOVE starting to get people together to talk about Perl 6. It's a crucial step in letting people know that Perl 6 is real. However, starting social groups that say they are specifically about Perl 6 makes me uncomfortable.
I think it would be better to call it Dallas.pm and just talk about Perl 6 in the meeting announcements. The key is that we don't want people to think they must choose one or the other. Technologically, Perl 5 and Perl 6 are very different, but culturally, they're very similar.
Keeping Perl 5 and Perl 6 groups together also means that we will increase cross-pollination of Perl 6 onto the Perl 5 people.

At Madison.pm, I give a 5-minute Perl 6 update each month. It's easy to collect material because Rakudo and Parrot each release monthly, so I can always just rehash the release announcements. I've found that the Perl 5 users are quite interested (and occasionally amazed).
