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 Christmas eve.

Thats why it has become a habbit to give relatives and friends of our the ability to check what we "weird" guys are doing when we are out for the "Programmers-Meeting".

So we had some attendies at our meeting who are not into programming. Of course talking about Perl and stuff need to set back a bit that evening, we didn't want to scare non-programmers away with techno-babble. But on the other hand someone brought tiny chocolade Santa Clauses to the meeting. And it is quite interessenting getting to know the social surroundings of our fellow members. You know, we are not just programmers trying to help each other, we are also some kind of friends here.
