I was at the first OWASP conference in London.

I used to attend their meets regularly, however in recent times  
they've been arranged in either the far west or the far east of  
London, and to start at 6pm. Given I finish work at 6pm, it's just not  
been practical for me to be able to get there.

Yes. But then, I put quite a lot of my free time and code reviewing  
efforts into improving perl based web applications in a systematic way  
anyway. :_)

I'd certainly be prepared to volunteer some of my time contributing  
to, or reviewing code for perl based web security efforts, and I'm  
certainly happy to do everything in my power (which isn't very much -  
pretty much yelling 'well volunteered' at people) to get the Catalyst  
community.
