by Dave Cross (DAVECROSS) Dave seemed to have a lot of very similar ideas and initiatives to mine, except that his usually came a few years earlier. Two come to mind: organizing a local Perl Mongers group and having a Perl presence at FOSDEM, but there were more. I am looking forward to his ideas now so I'll know what I will come up in a few years from now. So yeah, good luck with them! |
