[GTALUG] Table Drapes

[Alex Beamish]

I attended The Perl Conference (formerly YAPC) in Pittsburgh two weeks ago
-- the team putting on the conference were hoping for 150 attendees but
ended up with 170 folks, and four streams of talks. There were presenters
and attendees there from a number of companies ("We're hiring!").

My impression is that face to face meetings beat any electronic
interaction. I talked to about a dozen folks -- it was much easier in
person than on IRC or on a mailing list.
