The next GLUG meeting will be on March 20th. This month we are being 
visited by the Birmingham Perl Mongers. Barbie's promo blurb seems to 
say it all so here it is.

Birmingham.pm World Tour 2007

During the early part of last year Birmingham Perl Mongers took to the
road to promote the 2006 YAPC::Europe Perl Conference, which we hosted
at the end of August 2006. We took it upon ourselves to visit several
Perl Monger groups around the UK. It proved extremely popular and
several groups asked to come back again, and some Linux user groups
asked if we could visit them too. So this year we decided to do exactly
that, although we've decided to give ourselves a bit of a challenge.

In 2006 it was purely a networking exercise, to get to know other Perl
and Linux users around the country. For 2007, however, we are planning a
bigger Perl promotion by performing via a speaking tour, with several
members of Birmingham Perl Mongers attending Perl & Linux user groups
around the UK, offering to present talks at their technical meetings
about different aspects of Perl.
