[singapore-pm] Greetings

[Patrick Haller]

Hello all,

I'm new to Singapore, having just moved here from the States. I've been
hacking in perl for a while ( since 1996, although my last job was all
python, which was interesting).

Anyone interested in meeting up someplace to talk/hack on perl? I just
visited Sim Lim and was blown away. After seeing that, I figure there
has to be some perl hackers in the area that'd like to get together over
some food.

Patrick

Welcome to Singapore! There's a lot of open source groups here; if
you're into Python, you could check out the Python users group [1] as
well.

Heh, in Singapore, "food" is the magic word - you'll always find
people willing to join in a nice meal. There are a number of Perl
geeks around, although this mailing list remains mousy quiet. I think
I could get a small group of 3-5 Perl people together (and
Singapore.pm is *long* overdue a meetup), but the quickest way to meet
the local geeks would be to join the LinuxNUS people for their
semiregular hackfest - there ought to be one this weekend [2].

cheers,
Gaurav

Thanks! I've been looking around to see what people have been up to.
Thanks again for the links, I've joined the python group, pity that they
meet only quarterly.

Good deal. I'll see everyone there, when they establish a location ;)

Thanks again,
