Yesterday's TelAviv.pm meeting
Yesterday we had our first revived Tel Aviv Perl Mongers meeting. You probably came across the announcement once or twice in your RSS feeds, mailing lists or even through a personal message from me.
Apparently this worked quite well. The last Perl Mongers meeting included 5 to 6 times as many people as previous meetings. It was pretty awesome. We also scored pretty high on the variety of people.
I got to meet a lot of new people, hear interesting talks and mainly have a lot of laughs.
After the talks, the top-posters went out to dinner and had a great time. The discussion of how to represent a salad in pure OO form ensued and all hell broke loose from then on! :)
Next meeting we're hoping to get even more people to attend. My plans include shorter talks and a lot more fun (such as lightening talks) and getting more people to step up (help organize and give presentations on various issues).
Thanks to everyone who came, everyone who gave talks, helped with the website (DNS, hosting), graphics, flyers, advertising and so on.
See you next time!
I really enjoyed myself and was happy to see both the people who earlier came to meetings and that there were many new people. I hope you can keep up the good job and get some more people to help you with the organization.
You inherited a great tradition. Now go delegate some of the tasks.
