Hi Tom! Atlanta.PM meets on the first Thursday of each month, at the topmost point of the I-285 perimeter. We are version 3.0 of the group, active since 2006. http://atlanta.pm.org/ On June 4th (Thursday), Atlanta.PM will preview my YAPC::NA::2015 talk: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/talk/6076 Stop Panicking! Perl 6 is just like Perl 5 (where it counts). I am the author of a Perl 5-to-6 translator, and of many Perl 6 solutions on RosettaCode: https://github.com/Util/Blue_Tiger http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Util After the meeting each month, the group adjourns to a local restaurant, for supper and less-formal discussions. (In fact, we are there right now!) I usually fail, at least once during each meal, at my efforts to withhold from commenting on "how you would do that in Perl 6". Also, at the first meeting after YAPC::NA each year, those of us who attended present a “Highlights from YAPC” talk. By the way, I live in Auburn/Opelika, which is directly on the route from Niceville to Atlanta. We hope that you will come see us! — Hope this helps, Bruce Gray (Util of PerlMonks)
