Two weeks ago I managed to arrange the first Birmingham.pm technical meeting. Despite a few hiccups with the projector, it did go rather well. Some great talks from Rich Clamp, Matt and Robin. I hope mine was as good, but it does need work, though not bad for a first attempt I think. Everyone seemed to come away with something, so it looks like it will be worth organising another one. I have contacted a few Birmingham & West Midlands LUGs, some of whom have written back saying they'll be happy to advertise the next one, and even offered to do a couple of talks, which is great news.
Thanks to everyone who came along, and many thanks to everyone who did a talk
