[oclug] This one is for Dan York and e-smith

This is off topic like you said, but I'll follow since this interests
me.

I'm already part of that perl mongers list, and I think I send 1/3rd of
the emails :)  as of late anyways.  They don't email much, but they
still get together once a month, and in fact they're getting together
soon.

I'd love it if that list got more active.  After all, perl is
"open-source"... there, it does in some way apply to this list!
