[ANNOUNCE] London PM January News

[Sue Spence]

I hope everyone is having a relaxing and enjoyable holiday time. Instead of
a New Year card, you're all getting a newsletter this year. Hurray!

January Socials
The next social is on 8th January at the Melton Mowbray, 18 Holborn EC1N
2LE . Chancery Lane (Central line) is the nearest tube. Why not start the
new year with a pint or two of your favourite beverage with us! You could
also attend the Heretics social on the 15th at the King's Arms Waterloo SE1
8TB.

London Perl Hackday
Following our hackday in September, I've booked another one for 17th
January at the London Hackspace. Hackdays are when we get together to work
on pet projects, brush up on skills, discuss tools and techniques and
generally (I hope) have a bit of technical fun.  Please see this meetup
page for more details and to RSVP:

London PM Mailing Lists and Server
The London PM server, generously donated by Exonetric Hosting (
http://www.exonetric.com/), run by longtime LPM members Mark Blackman and
Marcus Lauder, needs to be migrated to a nice new one (which we already
have).  The holdup has been where to put our mailing lists, for Reasons.
We are getting ready to migrate them to a Perl mailing list service
developed and run by Sympa, and if not, then the Perl Mongers organisation
will handle this for us.  I am hoping to get this done in the next few
weeks.

Note: if you have any files on windmill.london.pm.org that you want to
keep, you should remove them ASAP.  Once the lists are moved then we will
be cutting over to the new server whenever we think it's ready.

London PM Needs You!
Would you like to help us with social meetings? Do you have any other ideas
for events?  Please speak up.  From February onwards we needs hosts!
