  • March 24, 2016: Meetup, Location
    The DC-Baltimore Perl Workshop (http://www.dcbpw.org/) is next month (April 16&17). Maybe you are giving a talk there or have been toying with the idea of making a presentation somewhere else, like YAPC (http://www.yapcna.org) this June. The idea is we can do a run through of your talk with a much smaller audience and get some feedback before you go live! If not, let's get together anyway and catch up in the usual way with pizza.
