- <h1 class="subhead">About Houston.pm</h1>
- <p>Houston.pm is a group of people who use the Perl programming language.
- Some of us use Perl in our jobs (officially or unofficially), others just
- like to play with the language.</p>
- <p>We have all level of members from complete novices to very experienced
- Perl programmers working in Perl daily and more than willing to share
- their expertise.</p>
- <h2 class="subhead">Our Goals</h2>
- <p>The Houston branch of the <a href="http://www.pm.org/">Perl
- Mongers</a> has several goals. In no particular order, our goals
- include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Provide a forum for Perl programmers in the Houston area to share
- knowledge and expertise.</li>
- <li>Provide help and mentoring to local Perl programmers.</li>
- <li>Educate individuals and companies about the potential benefits of
- using the Perl language and modules for solving their problems.</li>
- <li>Provide a focus for the Perl community in Houston.</li>
- <li>Have fun with Perl.</li>
- <li>Meet other Perl users in the Houston area.</li>
- </ul>
- <h2 class="subhead">Join Us</h2>
- <p>Unlike many groups, Houston.pm is pretty informal. Feel free to come to
- meetings to meet us, learn more about Perl, and share your knowledge and
- experience with Perl.</p>
- <p>We have a mailing list. To join, go to the
- <a href="http://houston.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/houston_houston.pm.org">Houston.pm Mailing
- List</a> page and fill out the form to subscribe.</p>
- <p>If mailing lists aren't your thing, we also announce the meetings
- on the <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/104331489743076486517/104331489743076486517/posts">Houston.pm
- Google+</a> page.
- </p><p>There is also a Houston.pm <a href="https://twitter.com/houstonpm">Twitter account</a>.
- </p><p>If you feel like contributing, you can volunteer to give a presentation
- or lead a discussion. Any topic that may be of interest to Perl
- programmers is welcome. You don't have to be an expert in the topic, we
- often have presentations just to see other views of a topic.</p>
- <p>If you are uncomfortable with public speaking, Houston.pm is a good
- place to start. The group is friendly and doesn't heckle. Several of our
- members have also used a technical meeting to practice a talk before
- presenting it elsewhere. The group has been happy to provide input and
- suggestions to improve if you ask for it.</p>
- <p>Bring your curiosity, questions, problem code, or expertise to share.</p>
