We had our Harrisburg Perl Mongers social meeting again this Wednesday. We
meet every second Wednesday. I am well aware that people have been
particularly busy lately. Some have been having difficulty seeing their own
wives, let alone finding time for a Perl meeting. Knowing people's schedules, I was particularly pleased to see the turnout this week. It was several people more than I had expected. Although a few notable faces were missed, we definitely had a good time. It's certainly a neat group to get together with. One person in particular who couldn't make it, was Maurice, the group leader. He found himself in a bummer of a predicament recently, when he found himself looking for a job. After many months, he finally found one... which was two and a half hours away. He's currently commuting. Maurice is looking to hand over the reigns, as he doesn't feel that he'll be able to participate as much as he'd hope. Left nominated, is me. While no one has responded to his public query for thoughts on his nomination, I'm inclined to think that most could care less. Not that anyone is cynicle, but that our group is fairly self sufficient. Maurice provided a lot to the group, helping to keep everyone involved, find out how they are using Perl, and such. Others frequently pitch in too, making everyone an important asset. I would happily accept, I feel that I have a lot of great ideas that we can implement as a group. At the same time, great leaders often lead best by inspiring people, and then staying out of the way. There is certainly a compromise in the above. Surely I'll have an opportunity to explore the line. Equally as certain is the fact that I'll error on both sides at one time or another. It appears to be a neat learning experience for me though, and hopefully I'll be able to make a difference, and help the Harrisburg Perl Mongers to thrive. It should be fun. |
