Ok, I must admit that we havn't posted something for quite some time. We actually held our meetings and everything, but there was nothing of interest so far. But recently at Christmas time we had our special christmas meeting.
Lots of Perl mongers become busy at christmas time. Buying gifts and stuff, you know, the usual pre-Christmas stress. Other mongers are allready traveling throughout the country visiting relatives for christmas. Though not everyone is able to attend to the last meeting of the year. Our last meeting dates were late in December and therefore very close to Christma…
In october a fellow Monger, Wolfgang Kinkeldei, made a talk about "Couch-DB" for the ERLUG, the Erlangen Linux User Group.

This year six of our fellow mongers managed to attend to the YAPC::EU in Pisa, constituting the 6th-largest perl mongers delegation at the conference. Every one of us also managed to get a room in the conference hotel, so it was a very comfortable event for us all.
While the authors can't speak for all Erlangen.pm members, it seemed to be a very good conference, with lots of interesting talks, nice social events and a good many meetings in real life.
Some of the talks that kept in mind were the one by Tim Bounce abou…
