Monthly Meetings
We meet the second Tuesday of each month.
Houston.pm meetings have split into technical meetings and social meetings. The social meetings have been more common of late due to the pressure of YAPC::NA tying up everyone's time. The technical meetings have been at 1111 Fannin St. downtown. The social meetings have been at the Bennigan's on Kirby at 59.
In the past, our meetings have consisted of a presentation, with plenty of audience participation. Before and after the presentation, we discuss various topics that are at least vaguely related to Perl. We have also had presentations on projects that various members were working on.
We have also had group programming projects. The idea was to spend a few months following a programming project by some members of the group. Once the project gets past the experiment and prototype phase, we stop working on it in the meetings. Some of the resulting code is now on CPAN, and more is in development.
Our most recent meetings have been more of a directed discussion style rather than the presentations we had done in the past. There seems to be some interest in continuing this approach for a while.
