It was 2004, not quite a decade ;)

My offers stands. I can't be the main POC, obviously.

Here is the Houston.pm site
        http://houston.pm.org/

The talks archive is at http://houston.pm.org/talks/index.html ...
it'll give you some good ideas on what to talk about.

We have the benefit of having some ppl who are really active in the
Perl community. For example, Reini works on perlcc - in fact, cPanel
pays him to do this.

We've had brian d foy twice because he's come to give 2 training
classes here (one Master Perl, which I was lucky enough to attend) -
so the PM meeting was scheduled to coincide with his visit.

I gave this talk back in September 2011 -
        http://houston.pm.org/talks/2011talks/1109Talk/index.html#quore

I highly encourage the reformation of neworleans.pm; and one day when
I make it back to the City, I'll finally have a chance to be active in
meat space.
