s1n and I decided that we would start Dallas.p6m as we are close to

other geographically speaking. We are meeting tomorrow (Thursday,

This is more to the world of Perl 6, but you're the first person to go
out there and do this.
I love love LOVE starting to get people together to talk about Perl
6. It's a crucial step in letting people know that Perl 6 is real.
However, starting social groups that say they are specifically about
Perl 6 makes me uncomfortable.
I think it would be better to call it Dallas.pm and just talk about
Perl 6 in the meeting announcements. The key is that we don't want
people to think they must choose one or the other. Technologically,
Perl 5 and Perl 6 are very different, but culturally, they're very
similar.
Keeping Perl 5 and Perl 6 groups together also means that we will
increase cross-pollination of Perl 6 onto the Perl 5 people.
Thanks for listening,
xoxo,
Andy
