[singapore-pm] Fwd: Adding another Perl Mongers group to the Perl Adserver?

[Gaurav Vaidya]

Hey there,

To help with marketing, I've got us added to the Perl Community
Adserver (http://adserver.szabgab.com/; you can see what it looks like
in the sidebar of http://code.ggvaidya.com/). Gabor, the PCAS
maintainer, suggested:

While that's true, I don't think it'll immediately make people think
of Singapore (although I guess Malay would work, as neither of the
Malaysian PM groups seem to be active). What do you think?

Bonus points for a Singlish advertisement, I guess :)

cheers,
Gaurav

Googling 'singapore perl mongers' yields

http://singapore.pm.org/

which has out of date info. People searching probably want info along
the lines of:

What
When
Where
Who
Why

The first paragraph handles the What, I vote that we make the second
paragraph the Where and When, followed by paragraphs on Who and Why.

What do you guys think?

The latest is at http://singapore.pm.org/meetings/, although, as you
point out, that'll probably be a little hard to find.

I'm completely open to ideas for the website. If you want to play
around with the current layout, the "source file" is at
http://singapore.pm.org/webmake/index.wmk (but you'll need WebMake to
"compile" it). If you want to come up with your own layout, go right
ahead, but I won't use it for singapore.pm.org unless I like it.

I'm going to be out of town for a week and a half (starting tomorrow
until August 29), and I don't want to worry about handing over the
website until I get back, especially since I'll be off the Internet
for atleast part of the holiday. Is it okay if we leave the website
frozen in its current state until then?

cheers,
Gaurav
