Meeting Topic for Next Meeting

2011-03-30

I started thinking about meeting topics for the next meeting. Mike B. suggested talking a little about DevOps, what it is, and why it's relevant to Perl Programmers. A lot of DevOps folks are Python and Ruby hackers, but I'm a Perl guy doing what might be classified as DevOps.

Please join the mailing list and make suggestions or requests!
