<p>This is a small cross-section of the London.pm's estimated 500 odd members
(where a London.pm member is defined as 'anyone who really wants to be' -
we have members who aren't in London and even members who don't m[ou]nge Perl).</p>
<p>The membership is spread across those on the various <a href="/mailman/listinfo/london.pm">lists</a>
(including the <a href="/mailman/listinfo/london.pm-announce">announce</a> list), the
<a href="/about/irc.html">irc</a> channel and those who turn up at <a href="/meetings/">meetings</a>.</p>
<p>To add yourself to this list make an xml file
similar to <a href="/~muttley/simon_wistow.xml">this</a>
one, host it somewhere and then send the URL to <i>whoswho</i> at this server
(that's <i>london.pm.org</i> for those who aren't spam crawlers.
Alternatively use <a href="makewho.html">this form</a>.

Started using Perl to munge sys admin stats on VAX/VMS because it was easier than gawk or DCL.
Has been delivering business systems that use Perl and a web interface since 1999. Usually found lurking in the environs of MiltonKeynes.pm.

<p>This is a small cross-section of the London.pm's estimated 500 odd members
(where a London.pm member is defined as 'anyone who really wants to be' -
we have members who aren't in London and even members who don't m[ou]nge Perl).</p>
<p>The membership is spread across those on the various <a href="/mailman/listinfo/london.pm">lists</a>
(including the <a href="/mailman/listinfo/london.pm-announce">announce</a> list), the
<a href="/about/irc.html">irc</a> channel and those who turn up at <a href="/meetings/">meetings</a>.</p>
<p>To add yourself to this list make an xml file
similar to <a href="/~muttley/simon_wistow.xml">this</a>
one, host it somewhere and then send the URL to <i>whoswho</i> at this server
(that's <i>london.pm.org</i> for those who aren't spam crawlers.
Alternatively use <a href="makewho.html">this form</a>.

Started using Perl to munge sys admin stats on VAX/VMS because it was easier than gawk or DCL.
Has been delivering business systems that use Perl and a web interface since 1999. Usually found lurking in the environs of MiltonKeynes.pm.
