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.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
