Fwd: [pm_groups] Perl Mongers and Meetup

[Igor Rumiha]

Gabor Szabo je postavio zanimljivo pitanje na pm_groups listi. Da ne ulazim u detalje, njegov mail je tu dolje a ja pitam, ima li za nas možda smisla da koristimo Meetup? Posebno ako se dogovori kakav popust? Činjenica je da se ne nalazimo baš često, a možda nas ovako pronađu novi članovi? Ima li među vama netko da već koristi Meetup za druga događanja? Kakva su iskustva?
