Not all who wander are lost.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The main idea is to be a group for those Perl folks that may not have a Perl Monger group near them. When I came up with the idea about 5 years ago I was doing a lot of travelling, so it seemed like a way for those that travel a lot to have a group as well.
Damian Conway was also an inspiration. This was during the first sponsorship he had around 2001. He was travelling like a fiend and I thought it would be cool to make him a member, sort of a Nomadic Grand Poobah. Something to honor those that spread the Perl gospel far and wide, and travel a lot doing it. Of course Larry is a Nomadic Grand Poobah as well.
I know things are barren at the moment but I'm still figuring out what I want to do with this group.
Well, I finally go the mailing list thing together so checkout it out.
Well, until I dedicate more time to it this is all you get.
Thanks, Joe Kline
