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…

This months meeting took place in the refurbished Trattoria Dolomiti.

We were eight perl mongers and had a special guest, Bernd Hendl. Bernd guest had nothing to do with actual Perl programming but he was searching for a new employer for some Perl web applications of his company.

Topics that came up this past meeting were:

• Version control systems; ranting about commercial VCS'

• mod_pytho…

On Monday we had our monthly meeting of Erlangen.pm. Because our usual establishement, the Trattoria Dolomiti, is closed for refurbishment we went to the restaurant Sofra.

Yesterday, on Monday 19th of July we had our reoccuring Perl-mongers group meeting. Due to refurbishment we went to a different restaurant this time.

We were eight Perl programmers and every one of them primarly declared their participation on Doodle. Yes, we use Doodle to coordinate our meetings but we came up with the idea of implementing an online planner software by our self. Maybe this is the project one of us needed to get started with mojolicious.

We also spoke about who is going to YAPC, who is arriving when, and in which hotel do our fellow mongers stay. We also made …

Erlangen.pm is a very active Perl mongers group in the Franconian city Erlangen in Germany.

We are about 15 to 20 peoples who meet on the third Monday every month with Perl in our minds. Our meetings usually take place in a small Italian restaurant in Erlangen. From time to time we organize talks and presentations at the RRZE, the Computing Center of the University of Erlangen. And once a year we even organize hackathons and workshops in the nice buildings of the yachtclub of Nuremberg.
