in thread New Gathering section?

This does not only apply to people in isolated places. For instance despite living in a large city with an active PM section, I am not part of PM.

Why not?

Because they hold meetings in a part of the city that is inconvenient for me to get to, typically at places I don't enjoy being, at times when it is inconvenient for me to go there. (I don't drink or smoke and I have asthma. Care to guess how interested I generally am in going to bars?) When interesting stuff rolls through town I often will show up, but since I have not gotten to know people in the local PM section, I am not that interested in meeting them.

However in a bit under a month the LinuxWorld Expo will be coming to town. I expect that to bring some people from PerlMonks. Since I actually know people here, I would be interested in knowing where and when meetings will take place.
